An elegant 18th Century grade II listed country house with self contained cottage standing in formal grounds with adjoining parkland
The house is understood to date from the mid 18th Century and exhibits much of the simple grandeur and elegance typical of architecture of the Georgian era. The main part of the house is of a substantial four bay layout presenting symmetrical elevations of tooled stone under a slate hipped roof. The reception rooms to this part of the house provide proportions and the predominantly original fine detailing which fully reflect the grace and style associated with architecture of the period. Furthermore the majority of rooms are south facing to take advantage of the views over the grounds as well as providing a light airy ambience. The former service wing now forms a useful integral part of the living space and contributes to the diverse character witnessed when passing through the various elements of the building.
In recent times the house has been the subject of considerable refurbishment and improvement to provide not only exceptionally comfortable and spacious family accommodation but also facilities for the successful running of a high quality bed and breakfast business.
Reception Hall. Accessed from the stone flagged and gravelled parking area to the front via a substantial panelled door under a decorative fanlight and flanked by dressed stone pilasters. The hall, with flower moulding to the ceiling cornice and alcove shelving, provides access to all main reception rooms through panelled doors. The main staircase, with fine square spindles to the balustrade, leads from the adjoining inner hall which also provides access to the understairs secure cupboard and a WC.
Drawing Room. A delightful room featuring an open fire with delicate moulding to the painted surround with marble insert and raised cast iron grate. The southern aspect can be enjoyed through the large French windows which retain the original working shutters. The ornate ceiling mouldings are complemented by the detailed cornicing. Music Room. This useful additional reception room also provides access to the garden via shuttered French windows leading to a series of stone steps. Dining Room. A further excellent reception room enjoying southerly views over the parkland via French windows and
benefiting from further fine detailing to the cornicing and wall panelling. Library . A further comfortable reception room with glazed double doors leading to the conservatory in addition to access direct to the drawing room. There is further ornate cornice, wall frieze and picture rail. An alcove is part shelved with a base
cupboard providing useful storage. Conservatory. With quarry tiled floor and double door leading onto the paved terrace and gardens. The East Hall leads to a second staircase and also provides access to an external yard area with coal store. This hall also provides access to the two roomed vaulted cellar which provides further useful storage.
Study. Featuring a painted surround to the cast iron fireplace with trivet stands and shuttered window. Kitchen. The traditionally styled dresser and base units have a painted finish with a beech work surface and incorporate a Belfast sink and integral fridge. An oil fired 4 oven Aga stands within an inglenook with mantle shelf above. Beyond the kitchen is a further large utility kitchen which provides additional cooking facilities via a gas cooker, with extractor hood,
and a stainless steel double sink unit. This leads through to the Laundry with a range of fitted cupboards. Beyond this is the Larder which has a stone flagged floor, original shelving and meat hooks. The main staircase leads to a large central landing which leads to four generous double bedroom suites. Of these, three have ensuite bathrooms, one with a period suite and airing cupboard, and a fourth an en-suite shower room with wc. All of these rooms are well
proportioned and feature the original shuttered sash windows and decorative cornicing. A further landing is reached either from the half landing of the main staircase or direct from the secondary staircase. This leads to a further four double bedrooms in the east wing, of which three have en-suite facilities. Self contained cottage: Adjoining the eastern end of the house is a cottage. At ground floor level this can be accessed directly from the garden via a porch which leads to a combined kitchen and sitting room with a range of fitted units and a tiled fireplace and gas fire in a painted timber surround. Stairs lead to the first floor where there is a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. The landing also links directly to the eastern most bedroom of the main house thereby allowing the cottage to be utilised as part of the main house or severed as either a one or two bedroom cottage as required.
Newbrough Park lies within the picturesque village of Newbrough in the heart of the Tyne Valley, ever popular for its blend of exceptional
scenic beauty and accessibility. The village lies only 4.5 miles from Hexham, recently voted England's favourite market town for it's
blend of heritage, amenities and welcoming charm. The A69 trunk road lies a short distance to the south which offers excellent dual
carriage way access direct to the heart of Newcastle approximately 23 miles to the east. Newcastle International Airport lies a similar
distance in the same direction and rail transport at Hexham links direct to the east coast mainline for easy intercity travel. The surroundings are home to an abundance of wildlife and
ownership of the property ensures the right to fish through a club on a nearby beat on the River South Tyne, with its rapidly growing
reputation as one of England's finest salmon rivers. For those who appreciate the wealth of history that Northumberland offers, the property lies only about 2 miles south of
the World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall. Indeed, the excellent network of public rights of way in the area provide a direct route
from Newbrough to enjoy walks along the Wall.
A substantial wall leads from either end of the house providing excellent privacy and seclusion. To the west of the house a series of lean-to stone outbuildings provide useful external storage, alongside which is a three bay garage leading to a large open courtyard. A further enclosed yard is accessed from the east wing leading to additional stores. The southern elevation of the house looks directly onto formal gardens which offer mature planted beds and a central lawn to frame the pleasant parkland vista beyond the stone ha-ha. A large stone flagged terrace provides an excellent seating area from which to enjoy the view. The original kitchen garden is severed by a large wall and now comprises a series of lawns delineated with box hedges and gravel paths. This area also has an all weather tennis court.To the south of the formal gardens are a series of paddocks and woodland which extend the property in total to approximately 15.71 acres. The paddocks are level, drained and suitably fenced with a water supply and field shelter. Mature woodlands border the land to the west with some spectacular ornamental trees adding striking colour to the view. An area to the southern end of the parkland has been recently planted with further trees.
