Description
Brandy Bank House is a substantial former coaching inn dating from the 18th century, set in the Northumberland village of West Woodburn on the edge of the National Park. The property has been operating as a thriving, income-generating holiday let for a number of years - the furniture, website and future bookings are available by negotiation.
The Business
This is a genuinely profitable holiday let operation. Full income and cost figures are available to serious buyers on request. The property currently operates with significant scope to increase revenue further, including through pet-friendly bookings and more active yield management on off-peak dates. A new oil-fired boiler was installed in January 2026, and the EPC rating — currently E — is expected to improve once reassessed.
The Property
The accommodation extends to over 4,300 sq ft across two floors and sleeps up to 16 guests across eight en-suite bedrooms. On the ground floor, a spacious kitchen with central island and adjoining dining area is designed to cater comfortably for large groups. Two reception rooms and a games room complete with jukebox give guests plenty of communal space, while a ground-floor bedroom with external wheelchair access ensures the property is accessible to all. There is also a utility room, two WCs, entrance porch and boiler room.
The seven first-floor bedrooms are all well-proportioned doubles, each with their own en-suite bathrooms.
Externally, the property has a private garden and patio to the rear, a seven-person hot tub, and off-road parking for around ten vehicles to the front and side.
The Location
West Woodburn sits at the gateway to Northumberland National Park, surrounded by open countryside with immediate access to walking, cycling and wildlife. The area falls within the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park — one of the largest designated dark sky areas in Europe — which is a significant draw for guests. Kielder Water and Forest Park is within easy reach, as are the market towns of Bellingham (4.7 miles) and Hexham (19.6 miles). Newcastle city centre is around 32 miles, with the international airport approximately 24 miles away.
Services: Mains electricity, water and drainage, oil-fired central heating
Tenure: Freehold
EPC: E (reassessment pending following new boiler installation)
Business rates: The property is assessed for business rates rather than council tax.
Detailed trading figures are available to interested buyers upon request.
The property was formerly a bed and breakfast with the owner living on site, and it could easily be used for this purpose again.
