Quarrie House was significantly refurbished and modernised in August 2024. The renovation upgraded all rooms to a high standard, introducing en-suite facilities, updated communal spaces, and high-speed Wi-Fi, while maintaining its location in the historic village centre opposite St. Nicholas' Church

An exceptional Victorian property in a prime village setting Quarrie House is an imposing and highly recognisable period property, originally constructed in 1864, occupying a prominent and prestigious position at the heart of Cramlington Village. This substantial stone-built residence stands opposite the historic St Nicholas’ Church, forming part of the village’s original core and offering a rare blend of architectural heritage, privacy, and long term investment potential. Examination of historic records indicates that the building originally comprised three separate properties that were connected to the old quarry, reflecting the historic pattern of development along Church Street.

We believe that Quarrie House was originally three houses that were connected to the old quarry.

The building has been used as a Bed & Breakfast, the property could be suitable for alternative uses, subject to obtaining the appropriate consents.

Quarrie House is thoughtfully arranged with two independent entrances, creating a clear separation between the principal accommodation and the private residence which is ideal for multi generational living or income generating opportunities.

The main entrance leads into the primary reception areas, while a second, discreet entrance provides access to the private residence. This opens into a private hallway serving a well appointed, self contained apartment designed with both comfort and flexibility in mind.

The apartment boasts an impressive open plan lounge, dining and kitchen space, flooded with natural light and enjoying attractive views across the grounds to the front. Two generously proportioned private bedrooms are complemented by a contemporary shower room, creating an elegant and highly functional living environment.

This layout offers excellent potential for luxury guest accommodation, executive letting or independent residential use, adding significant versatility and long-term investment appeal to this exceptional property.

The main accommodation is entered via a welcoming entrance which opens into a substantial reception area, featuring a staircase rising to the first floor. From here, a door provides access to a practical laundry and boiler room alongside a ground floor W.C.

A particularly generous breakfast room offers ample space to accommodate multiple tables and seating arrangements, ideal for guest use or communal dining. This is complemented by a well appointed kitchen/breakfast room which serves the main accommodation efficiently and discreetly.

To the first floor, there are eight spacious bedrooms (rooms one through eight), each benefiting from modern en-suite facilities, providing a consistent standard of comfort and privacy throughout.

Returning to the ground floor, room nine offers a self-contained studio layout with an open sleeping and lounge area, dedicated kitchen space, and the convenience of an en-suite bathroom. Room ten is currently utilised as an on site office and includes W.C/shower facilities , offering flexibility for management or conversion back to guest accommodation if required. Room eleven also benefits from its own W.C and shower facilities.

In addition, the property includes a private residence with its own separate entrance and hallway, ensuring complete independence from the main accommodation. This residence features a very spacious open plan lounge and dining room, two well proportioned bedrooms and a modern bathroom, making it ideal for owner occupation, long term letting, or premium guest accommodation.

Overall, the internal layout of Quarrie House presents an exceptional opportunity for a high-quality investment with significant flexibility, strong operational flow and the potential for attractive returns.

Prestigious Location

Set on Church Street, Quarrie House enjoys one of the most sought-after locations in Cramlington. The village itself represents the town’s historic centre, distinct in character from the surrounding new-town development, and highly regarded for its established community feel, period architecture, and conservation-area status. Despite its tranquil setting, the property remains exceptionally well connected, with excellent road, rail, and retail links nearby.

Architectural Presence & Grounds

The property commands immediate attention with its traditional stone façade, generous proportions, and elegant symmetry typical of mid Victorian design. Positioned within its own mature grounds, Quarrie House offers a level of seclusion and space rarely found in such a central village location. Landscaped gardens and private parking enhance both lifestyle appeal and commercial viability.

Architectural Context

The Quarry Link: The house’s name is a literal reference to its location; it was reportedly used as a Quarry Manager’s office or built on the edge of the sandstone quarry that provided stone for many of the village’s older buildings.

Grounds: Part of the original land was sold off for modern housing, but the main house still sits within its own private grounds.

Luxury & Versatility

Internally, the accommodation is arranged over multiple floors, offering flexible, well-proportioned rooms ideally suited to a range of high end uses. The scale and layout lend themselves to continued residential use, premium serviced accommodation, or a boutique hospitality or professional conversion (subject to any necessary consents). Period features combine with adaptable spaces, creating a property that is both characterful and commercially astute.

The site includes mature trees and landscaped areas, giving guests a sense of greener space even in the village centre.

The building itself dates back to the mid-19th century (built around 1864) and is part of the older fabric of the village.
