Description

A TRULY RARE TO THE MARKET OFFERING - The Garden House in Wallington is an exquisite country home built in 1766 and originally formed part of The Wallington Estate until 1970; whereupon it has been owned by the same family ever since. It is a most attractive stone-built Grade II Listed detached property of distinction and set within beautiful private grounds of around 1.25-acres. It includes the former coach-house, now used as a double garage with two adjoining pavilions, an enclosed 0.5-acre paddock with stabling, a tack room, hay store and a number of additional outbuildings.



Description Continued
The main house has a driveway approach and an abundance of space for vehicle parking. The light, spacious and versatile accommodation retains many of the attractive period architectural features throughout and also includes a cellar. The established gardens incorporate a gravelled courtyard and a choice variety of mature specimen trees, carefully chosen shrubs and thoughtfully planted borders. The idyllic position enjoys a high degree of privacy and captures extremely pleasant views of the surrounding countryside. It is also very well placed for access to Newcastle and Newcastle Airport, Ponteland and Morpeth and a variety of local walks, cycle routes and bridle paths. This is genuinely a sale not to be missed and viewings are highly recommended - there is no forward chain.

Brief Historical Background
The Wallington Estate was once home to the Trevelyan family and is now in the care of the National Trust. It is the largest intact estate at some 13,500 acres and is set in rolling hills with extensive woodlands and a beautiful walled garden. The house displays thousands of nationally important collections and is surrounded by an informal landscape of lawns, lakes, woodland, parkland and farmland. Among the many figures involved in the redesign of Wallington was Lancelot Capability Brown, who grew up in the local area and attended school in Cambo. The Garden House was built in 1766 and formed part of the Wallington Estate until 1970; whereupon it was bought by the current family, who are only the second owners. It has therefore never been available for purchase on the open market.
