The Property
Tucked away within a peaceful hamlet just west of Mitford, The Hayloft is a handsome stone barn conversion with beautifully maintained grounds, a professionally surfaced arena, and an extensive stable yard — making it an exceptional choice for buyers seeking both rural tranquility and well-appointed equestrian facilities. Part of a small development of former agricultural buildings, the home enjoys a private yet accessible setting within striking distance of Morpeth and the A1, offering a rare balance of seclusion and convenience.

An entrance hall with extensive glazing sets the tone for the property’s inviting interior, where natural materials, solid oak doors, and slate flooring speak to its quality and character. On one side, a generous sitting room with oak floors and a multi-fuel stove occupies the original inglenook. French doors open to the front garden, while a wide picture window frames views of the rear terrace.

The kitchen, finished with solid oak cabinetry and granite work surfaces, centres around a large dining area, with integrated appliances including a range cooker, dishwasher, and built-in wine storage. A Belfast sink sits beneath a rear window overlooking the garden, and there is space for a large freestanding fridge freezer. A separate utility room offers space for laundry and additional storage. Adjacent to the utility, a ground floor WC provides further convenience, with integrated shelving. Adjoining the kitchen is a further reception room with dual aspect windows and a wood-burning stove, currently used as a snug.

Upstairs, exposed beams and oak flooring run throughout all four bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a full wall of handcrafted cabinetry and connects directly to the family bathroom — a beautifully appointed space with a freestanding cast iron bath, walk-in shower and vanity. A second double bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are well proportioned and overlook the gardens to the rear.

Externally
The Hayloft occupies a well-tended plot with thoughtfully arranged outdoor spaces and private off-road parking. To the front, a secure, low-maintenance garden is laid mainly to lawn, bordered by mature hedging that provides privacy and year-round foliage. A natural slate patio offers a choice of seating areas for al fresco dining, while the rear garden is planted with a variety of established climbing plants and shrubs, creating a leafy, sheltered backdrop.

Just beyond the enclosed front garden sits a high-quality timber-clad cabin, connected to mains electricity, water, and heating. Currently arranged as a gym with an adjoining seating area, it offers a comfortable and private retreat. Planning permission has been granted for conversion to an annex — presenting an ideal opportunity for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.

The outlook extends across the 30m x 40m riding arena, which features a high-performance surface of mixed sand and plastic gel. Neighboring the arena, the well-laid stable yard is equipped with mains electricity and water and includes three stables, tack room, and a pony box. The adjoining pasture extends to approximately 3.21 acres, divided into manageable paddocks. Three double field shelters and a water supply complete the facilities, which are both practical and well-considered for equestrian use.
