Peatland Farm, Gatehead KA2

Stonefield Estate Agents are delighted to introduce Peatland Farm - A magnificent five bedroom Scots farmhouse of considerable character, believed to date from circa 1750 and thoughtfully extended in 1868. Presenting an imposing façade of traditional stone beneath a pitched slate roof, the property is distinguished by handsome crow stepped gables and an abundance of architectural charm. Under the stewardship of the current owners, Peatland has undergone a comprehensive programme of upgrading and modernisation, successfully combining its historic character with the comfort and specification expected of a contemporary country home. Improvements include a bespoke fitted kitchen with central island, replacement double glazed windows, oil fired central heating system, an elegant oak staircase, rewiring and complete redecoration throughout. The property is served by mains water, with drainage to a private septic tank.

The accommodation is both substantial and highly versatile. On the ground floor, a welcoming reception hall provides access to a two piece WC, an elegant formal lounge, dining room, family room with wood burning stove, sitting room, private study, impressive dining kitchen and a practical utility room. Two separate staircases serve the upper accommodation. The principal staircase rises from the reception hall to three generously proportioned double bedrooms and a well appointed four piece family bathroom. A second staircase, accessed from the sitting room, leads to two further double bedrooms and an additional four piece bathroom. This flexible arrangement is particularly well suited to family living, multigenerational households or the creation of private guest accommodation.

Externally, Peatland is arranged around a central courtyard providing extensive private parking. The substantial garden grounds are predominantly laid to lawn and enhanced by established shrubbery borders, mature trees and an orchard. Beyond, adjoining grazing land provides an exceptional opportunity for those with equestrian, agricultural or lifestyle interests. As day draws to a close, the celebrated sunsets cast a golden glow over the grounds, capturing the calm and natural beauty of this distinguished and highly desirable location.

A notable collection of traditional outbuildings accompanies the farmhouse, including two substantial byres - one incorporating a hayloft, former stables, a dairy and a covered log store. These buildings offer considerable potential for a variety of alternative uses or future development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents.

Peatland represents a rare opportunity to acquire an outstanding country residence of significant heritage, offering beautifully proportioned accommodation, extensive grounds and remarkable versatility within an idyllic rural setting.
