Description

South Lodge, Longhirst – Grade II Listed Home with Woodland & Gardens

Designed by the renowned architect John Dobson, South Lodge is a Grade II listed former gatehouse to Longhirst Hall. Blending historic character with modern comforts, the property is set within approximately two acres of private woodland and landscaped gardens, all just minutes from Morpeth town centre.

Accommodation

South Lodge offers all principal living on one level, making it practical and adaptable for a wide range of buyers.

The main reception room is a characterful space with log burner, stone fireplace, and south-facing views over the gardens. A second reception/bedroom retains its period detailing, with high ceilings, a feature fireplace, and shuttered windows.

The dining room connects to a modern kitchen, boot room, and pantry, while the bedroom wing provides a spacious double, a smaller nursery/office, and two bathrooms – one with freestanding bath and one with a walk-in double shower.

Throughout the home, recent upgrades include new wood flooring and a newly fitted kitchen.

The Grounds

The real appeal of South Lodge lies in its setting. The property sits within circa two acres of private woodland and gardens, creating a sense of seclusion while remaining within easy reach of village life.

  • Detached cabin with open-plan living, bedroom, shower room and deck – ideal for guests, a business opportunity, or use as a studio/home office.

  • Greenhouse, outhouse and BBQ area offering scope for self-sufficiency or outdoor entertaining.

  • Expansive grounds lend themselves to a variety of uses: woodland trails, a home-based business, smallholding, or leisure pursuits.

Location

Longhirst is a picturesque village with a strong community and excellent local amenities. Within walking distance are tennis, hockey and cricket facilities, along with a nearby golf club.

The property is just a few miles from Morpeth, a thriving market town offering boutique shops, supermarkets, restaurants, schools and rail links to Newcastle, Edinburgh and London.

South Lodges combines period architecture with modern practicality, all on a single-storey layout, and is set within a remarkable two-acre woodland plot.
