Anyone For Tennis? Or Cricket? Or A Round Of Golf? This superb duplex apartment in the grounds of John Dobson’s Grade II listed Longhirst Hall combines local history with luxurious modern finishes and unrivalled on-site sports & leisure facilities.
When your on site amenities include two PGA Championship golf courses, a cricket pitch and tennis courts, weekends and evenings tend to take care of themselves.
And when you drive home through private gates, with woodland and sweeping lawns all around, the noise and rush of the day quickly fades.
Longhirst Hall and Lawson Villas were designed by John Dobson - the local architect famed for Newcastle’s Grey Street - and built in the 1820s for landowner William Lawson.
Over the years it has seen everything from military use to hotel life, before being carefully converted in 2015 into a collection of 28 architecturally unique homes within the original estate grounds.
This superb duplex apartment has its own private entrance, giving you a sense of privacy and security from the moment you arrive home.
You step straight into a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, with room to cook, eat and relax together.
The kitchen is stylish and practical, with fitted units, ample storage space and a central island that naturally becomes the social hub.
It works just as well for a quiet evening in as it does for friends dropping by after a round of golf.
An oak and glass-panelled staircase leads you upstairs, adding a contemporary contrast to the historic setting outside.
The upper floor has two bedrooms and a modern bathroom with a shower over the bath, all finished to a high standard.
The main bedroom is a comfortable double with built-in storage, while the second bedroom works equally well as a guest room or home office.
Whether you’re working remotely or welcoming family for the weekend, the layout feels flexible and easy.
Outside, mature communal gardens, woodland and landscaped lawns surround the apartment, with Longhirst Hall Golf Club and Morpeth Cricket, Hockey and Tennis Club all within the grounds.
Secure gated parking adds peace of mind, while Morpeth’s thriving town centre is only a few minutes’ drive away for shops, cafés and restaurants.
Trains from Morpeth station reach Newcastle in around 15 minutes, with direct services to London and Edinburgh when you need to head further afield on business or for a weekend away.
This is a unique home that offers heritage, space and sports on your doorstep, balanced with the comfort of modern, open-plan living.
If you can see yourself heading out for an early evening walk through the woodland, it may be time to come and take a look.
