Chesterhill Old Farm is a beautifully restored barn conversion near the village of Swarland in Northumberland, just one mile west of the A1. Spectacular views stretch towards Warkworth Castle and Coquet Island from this ground-floor property. Solid oak flooring, full-height exposed beams and arched windows give it real character without feeling overdone.

The setting is genuinely rural. From inside you can watch hens, ducks and goats going about their day. The coast is within five miles and an 18-hole golf course is less than a mile away. A pub is also within a mile. This is proper Northumberland countryside.

The barn sleeps four across two bedrooms. Bedroom one is a kingsize master with en-suite shower and toilet.
