"An exceptional private country house with beautiful formal gardens and tennis court on the edge of Corbridge "

The Property
Set discreetly behind tall trees and a tree-lined approach on the edge of Corbridge, is an exceptional private country house of scale and stature, offered with approximately four acres of beautifully conceived gardens and grounds. Painstakingly renovated and remodelled by the current owners over a two-year period, the house and its adjacent cottage have been reimagined as two distinct but connected dwellings, with a third separate home completing the estate. Together, the properties blend classical architecture with luxurious detail and modern craftsmanship, forming a rare holding in one of Northumberland’s most sought-after settings.

The house is approached via a long tree-lined drive, culminating in a secluded courtyard where manicured borders give way to gravel sweep and garaging. Entry is through a wide pillared portico and heavy-set front door into an elegant reception hall featuring a marble fireplace and tall sash bay framing views over the gardens. Beyond lies the principal staircase, rising gently to a wide upper landing, crowned by plasterwork and a pair of chandeliers.

To the front of the house, the drawing room stretches across the south-east elevation, arranged around a carved stone fireplace with a door opening directly onto the terrace. Opposite, a smaller snug provides a comfortable counterpart, while the dining room—tucked further back—is distinguished by its ornate cornicework and traditional fireplace.

The grand bespoke kitchen suite is arranged over split levels to provide separate zones for preparation, cooking, dining and family living. An 8-oven AGA sits within a bespoke surround, flanked by a generous island and walls of in-frame cabinetry topped in marble. A lantern window above the day room draws natural light into the space, while bifold doors open wide to the south-facing terrace, where three electric awnings extend to create shaded seating areas. Adjacent to the kitchen is a well-appointed pantry.

A central passageway runs the length of the house, linking the eastern and western wings and providing access to a cloakroom, WC, and the utility and laundry rooms, which are tucked away at the western end.

Upstairs, the first floor offers five substantial bedrooms, four of which feature private en-suites finished to a high standard. The principal suite is particularly impressive with a remarkably spacious dressing room, vaulted ceiling, dual-aspect windows, and a large marble bathroom complete with sauna and walk-in shower.

On the sub-ground floor, a cellar provides generous storage across three separate storerooms.

The property has undergone a comprehensive renovation throughout, having been stripped back to brick and thoughtfully rebuilt with new services, a full electrical rewire and underfloor heating throughout. The result is a beautifully finished, move-in-ready home for its next occupant.

Externally
The grounds are a masterclass in formal landscaping, with crisp lawns, sculpted yew, and lavender-lined paths arranged around a central ornamental pond. Beyond the parterre gardens lie paddock areas, and at the far end of the grounds, an all-weather tennis court is privately enclosed by mature planting.

A triple-bay stone-built garage sits to the rear of the house, accompanied by ample parking across the gravelled driveway. Adjoining the garage, a substantial games room creates a more informal extension of the accommodation, ideally suited to entertaining, hobbies or quieter retreat. Thoughtfully incorporated within the overall composition of the property, these additions provide further versatility while remaining sympathetic to the character and flow of the original house. The whole property is monitored by CCTV and protected by secure electric gates, offering complete privacy in a peaceful, well-connected setting just a short stroll from the heart of Corbridge.
