Eshott, Morpeth, Northumberland

Set in peaceful countryside near the village of Eshott, just ten miles north of Morpeth and within easy reach of the beautiful Northumberland coast, Charleswood House is a substantial modern home that blends traditional Northumbrian character with contemporary style and comfort. With more than half an acre of gardens, five reception rooms and versatile accommodation throughout, it offers space, privacy and a superb quality of life.


A broad reception hall with tiled flooring and a central staircase sets an impressive tone as you enter. From here, doors open into five generous reception rooms designed for both family living and entertaining. The 23ft family room enjoys a dual aspect, parquet flooring, a feature fireplace and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. There’s also a formal dining room, a dedicated study, a cinema room, and a magnificent 28ft games room with a bar area, roof lantern and bi-fold doors to the terrace — ideal for relaxed gatherings or larger celebrations.

At the heart of the home sits a bespoke kitchen and breakfast room, fitted with handcrafted wooden cabinetry, a central island with breakfast bar, an integrated breakfast table, quality appliances and an Aga. Adjoining the kitchen, a large utility room provides excellent extra storage and access to the rear.


The central staircase rises to a galleried landing leading to four double bedrooms, each beautifully presented. The principal suite features a private balcony with far-reaching countryside views, a walk-in wardrobe, dressing room and luxury en-suite shower room. Two further bedrooms have their own en-suites, while the spacious family bathroom includes a freestanding bath and separate shower.

A secondary staircase from the utility area leads to a fifth en-suite bedroom, complete with extensive built-in storage. With its own entrance, this suite offers flexibility as a guest or annexe space, and planning permission has been granted to convert the adjoining utility into a self-contained kitchen if desired.

Electric gates open onto a smart block-paved driveway, providing ample parking and access to a triple garage. The 0.68-acre grounds are surrounded by open fields and woodland, creating a wonderful sense of privacy. Landscaped lawns wrap around the house, with established trees, hedges and patio terraces for outdoor dining and entertaining. A timber-clad summer house with shaded decking offers an additional retreat overlooking the garden.

Charleswood House enjoys a tranquil yet convenient setting close to Eshott, one of Northumberland’s prettiest rural villages. The nearby market towns of Morpeth and Alnwick provide an excellent range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and highly regarded schools, including the very well regarded King Edward VI Academy in Morpeth.

The property offers easy access to the A1, making it ideal for those commuting to Newcastle, while Morpeth Station provides direct rail services to Edinburgh and London King’s Cross. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Cheviot Hills and Northumberland National Park — all within a short drive.
