The Property
Low House is a distinguished country estate built in classic Northumberland stone, positioned within a serene rural setting on the outskirts of Slaley. Held by the same family for over 70 years, the property has been meticulously maintained and subtly modernised over time, resulting in a substantial and elegantly appointed home that balances heritage and comfort with refined practicality. Surrounded by south-facing landscaped gardens, paddocks and woodland, and accompanied by a detached three-bedroom cottage, stables, and an expansive agricultural building, the estate presents a rare lifestyle opportunity in the heart of the Tyne Valley.

Internally, the house unfolds with quiet sophistication. The entrance hall offers a warm and practical welcome, with boot room and utility areas positioned discreetly to one side. Beyond, the principal kitchen and dining room is arranged to take full advantage of the surrounding gardens, with wide bifolding doors opening directly onto a stone terrace. Bespoke Neptune cabinetry, granite worktops and a central island frame the space, with an electric AGA and Rangemaster wine fridge integrated into the traditional layout. There is ample room for both formal and informal seating, creating a sociable and light-filled setting that connects beautifully with the outdoor spaces.

The adjacent sitting room provides a relaxed alternative, with dual aspect windows and a wood-burning stove set into a simple surround. Further along, a second reception room of generous proportions serves as a drawing room, with a period fireplace as its centrepiece and views over the pond and rose garden. Both rooms are designed with comfort in mind, offering elegant, quiet spaces that can be adapted to suit seasonal routines or family occasions. Discreetly positioned nearby, a study offers a quiet retreat for work or reading, while a wine room and secure gun room add to the property’s practical appeal. These are complemented by an integral garage and a tool shed, while traditional stables are accessed directly from the rear courtyard.

The first floor comprises a principal suite to the left, with dual aspect windows framing views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. This suite is complemented by a private shower room and a dedicated dressing room. To the right are three further bedrooms, one of which includes fully fitted wardrobes creating a dressing area. These rooms are served by a family bathroom with a freestanding tub and a separate shower room, both appointed with quality fixtures and finishes. The interiors remain harmonious throughout, with subtle period features and a thoughtful decorative palette reinforcing the home’s character.

In addition to the main accommodation, a guest annexe adjoins the principal house and offers excellent flexibility without compromising privacy. It comprises a comfortable sitting room with a kitchen area, two bedrooms and a shower room, making it ideal for guests, dependent relatives or independent family living.

Low House Cottage
A detached single-storey cottage provides further self-contained accommodation. The layout includes three bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, a separate family bathroom, and a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining and sitting room. Generous glazing frames views over the private garden and surrounding countryside. The cottage is currently run as a successful and well-established holiday let, offering proven income potential in addition to its value as overflow or multi-generational accommodation.

Externally
Low House is surrounded by beautifully maintained, south-facing gardens, extending to include formal lawns, mature planting, a rose garden and a large reflective pond set at the end of a symmetrical path.

A summer house and Gabriel Ash greenhouse sit within view of the main terrace, which opens directly from the kitchen. To the rear, a gated courtyard gives access to a set of traditional stone stables and provides ample parking alongside the main driveway.

Across the yard, a substantial agricultural building offers excellent versatility and is equipped with electric roller doors, plumbing and lighting, making it well suited for a range of uses from storage and workshop space to equestrian or smallholding purposes. The land includes a combination of well-kept paddocks and established woodland, extending to approximately 31 acres.

In total, the site extends to around 37.52 acres, offering a rare combination of landscaped gardens, productive land and natural woodland within a single, cohesive setting.
