Hall Hill House, Longframlington, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE65

THE PROPERTY
Hall Hill House is a substantial and unique stone-built property on the edge of the village of Longframlington. The west end of the house was originally part of a bastle house, which has evolved and been remodelled through time to create free flowing ground and first floor accommodation.

It has been owned by the selling family since the late 1400’s. They have occupied it for the last 25 years. During this time, it has served as a fabulous place to bring up a large family. More recently, the sellers have invested substantially in solar panels, insulation, double glazing and the installation of a biomass wood pellet heating and hot water system.

Hall Hill House is positioned in an elevated south facing plot. It takes full advantage of the striking gorgeous views across the Coquet valley and extending to the sea.

Almost all the ground floor space is off a welcoming reception and staircase hall. On the south front there are two wellproportioned reception rooms in addition to a delightful garden room and a study. The drawing room, with garden access and dining room both have feature fireplaces and look south over an uninterrupted view.

The spacious kitchen and breakfast room also faces south and includes built in cupboards and an electric Aga range cooker. The garden room overlooks the lawn and is accessible from the kitchen. It provides access to the garden.

In true country house style, there is plenty of practical space in the form of a walk-in larder, boot room, a W.C. and a log store.

There are five double bedrooms and three bathrooms on the first floor. A versatile eaves storage room has the potential for a variety of uses. There is also a linen cupboard and a W.C.

OUTSIDE
A private driveway leads from the village playing field to an expansive gravelled parking area, giving access to the oversize double garage. A wrap-around garden offers seclusion and a peaceful environment from which to enjoy the wonderful position. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with stone walling, shrubs and hedging separating them from the open fields beyond yet still allowing glorious uninterrupted views over the countryside. A flagged terrace on the southern elevation is an ideal place to enjoy a sunny day. There is a mix of outbuildings including the Grannexe with potting shed, greenhouse and double garage. A wilder area of garden stretches the full width of the property on the south side and is a haven for wildlife with mown paths. There is an established orchard and an equally well established vegetable garden with polytunnel 25’ x 10’ (7.62m x 3.04m).

The property extends to approximately 4.15 acres.
