THE SHEEPFOLD, The Sheepfold, Cavil Head Farm, Acklington, Northumberland, NE65 9DF

The Sheepfold is a magnificent 1,720 sq ft three bedroom, single storey barn conversion with approx. 1 acre of gardens.

It’s a beautifully designed home that mimics the surrounding Northumberland countryside: Unbound and vast.

Throughout the property, the eye is drawn to a mix of clean, practical design, combined with organic textures.

Filled with rustic wood and stone flooring, this cosy and cocooning bolthole possesses an abundance of warmth and texture. It is sumptuous and rustic in equal measures.

All the luxuries of a modern home and all the charm of past times can be enjoyed here.

As well as privacy, uninterrupted views and lots of outside space, this property is worthy of the term 'rarely available'.

Perfectly placed between meadows and the surf, The Sheepfold is located on our best selling development of all time, Cavil Head Farm, a private collection of beautifully restored farm buildings, flawlessly renovated in 2016 and bursting with style and charm.

The Sheepfold was our flagship home and is available to buy for the first time since we welcomed its first owners back in 2016. These fabulous barn conversions rarely come up for sale.

The Sheepfold has the added advantage of privacy, fabulous countryside views, extensive gardens and a large paddock. Contemporary twists combine with its already unique character.

Homage is paid to the humble agricultural beginnings of this farm by retaining the natural integrity and rustic charm, incorporating the use of new, natural materials within a traditional framework.

No expense has been spared in creation of this beautiful home. There are plenty of luxurious fixtures and fittings in neutral tones.

Countryside devotees and urban folk alike will find this stylish barn hard to resist. The balance between contemporary style and the patina and charm of age is celebrated in The Sheepfold.

Stylishly contemporary, yet still very much tied into the whole barn aesthetic.

Cavil Head Farm is nestled in the stunning Northumberland countryside, in a sleepy hamlet on the fringe of Acklington, the gentle peppering of traditional stone buildings have hardly changed since the last cows were milked in them.

This former farm, is a couple of fields away from Morwick Dairy in Warkworth, a working dairy farm and ice cream parlour with an award-winning dairy herd.

With country walks right from your doorstep, or just a short drive to the iconic Northumberland Heritage Coast with 64 miles of the finest stretches of golden sand and historic castles dotted along the route, this location is just about as perfect as the country dream home could be.

We feel blessed to be given the opportunity of selling The Sheepfold again. It really is a very special property.

From the quality of the workmanship throughout, to its privileged and very private location, add in the spacious gardens and paddock, it’s definitely worthy of the term, ‘rare to the market’.

We love the semi rural location with it being so close the coast and what’s not to love about uninterrupted country views.

Not far from the small village of Acklington, there are many activities and groups held locally, providing a real sense of community.

Warkworth is a near neighbour where the main street is lined with galleries, a Post Office, inns, restaurants and gift shops to suit all tastes and the trendy harbour town of Amble is 4 miles away.

This really ticks the location box. A sense of freedom and peace can be found at Cavil Head Farm, as you breathe in the country air and listen to the soft sound of the wildlife.

Just over a mile from The Sheepfold is the Morwick Dairy Ice Cream Parlour where traditional manufacturing techniques are used to bring back the true experience of farmhouse dairy ice cream.

With over 160 flavours of ice cream and refreshing fruit ices you’ll be spoilt for choice!

This beautiful home has country walks right on your doorstep and is just a short drive away from the stunning, iconic Northumberland coast.
