Callaly Castle originated with a 15th century Peel Tower built by the Clavering family who occupied the castle for nearly 500 years. Various alterations and additions were made down the centuries. A panel containing the Clavering coat of arms with the motto ‘Ut hora sic vita’ (as the hour so is life) can be seen on the south wing. Pevsner describes the castle as “one of the most interesting and varied houses in Northumberland’.

Entrance to this handsome residence is via a communal lobby with a sweeping staircase leading to all four apartments. The front door opens into a striking hallway leading to all rooms. The bright spacious sitting room and adjacent kitchen face south and west and are bathed in light. The elegant drawing room provides a further reception room for entertaining or relaxation with twelve pane sash windows and ornate period fireplace with marble and cast iron inset. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. There are two further large double bedrooms and a family bathroom all with modern fittings.

The castle is situated within stunning parkland of 27 acres which include landscaped gardens, lakes, woodland and a kitchen garden against a backdrop of forest and rolling countryside.
