History - Newham Hall is a Grade II Listed former Country House built in the Jacobethan style and constructed in 1880 by Jack Mills the co-founder of Gjers Mills (Ayresome Ironworks) and one of the original Teesside “Iron Masters”. The Hall is attributed to the architectural work of GG Hoskins and is built on the site of an earlier Manor House.
Jack Mills purchased the Newham Estate in 1874 and built the Hall to be an impressive family home from where he also administered his business affairs. As part of the development, he preserved part of the existing moat to form a pond and ha-ha feature along the southern boundary.
The property remained in the Mills family until 1952 when the Hall, adjacent Coach House and Stables were purchased by local businesses Ridsdale & Co Ltd and Bureau of Analysed Samples Ltd.
The Hall was used as the Company offices and laboratories and the Coach House and other outbuildings as light engineering workshops. Care has been taken to preserve the unique features within the Hall and grounds, and this was recognised when Newham Hall was included in the updated edition of Nikolaus Pevsner’s North Riding of Yorkshire’s Guide to the Buildings of England. The Guide believes the architect to have been G. G. Hoskins whose work included many outstanding buildings in the North of England including Middlesbrough Town Hall which was constructed at the same time as Newham Hall.
Adjacent to the Hall are a range of contemporaneous outbuildings and workshops including former stables (not specifically Listed).
The stone and slate two bed Lodge House at the entrance to Newham Hall also dates from 1880 and is Grade II Listed together with the gate, gate piers and walls.

Situation - Newham Hall is situated approximately 3.5 miles to the north of the highly sought after market town of Stokesley just to the south of the residential suburb of Coulby Newham and approximately 7 miles south of Middlesbrough Town Centre.
Brass Castle Lane is situated approximately 0.25 miles to the south east and is one of Teesside’s most sought after and desirable residential addresses with Middlesbrough’s popular adjoining parkland 18 hole golf course.
Newham Hall Lodge lies to the southern end of the private driveway leading to the Hall. The property has excellent access to the B1365 Coulby Newham to Stokesley Road and the commercial centres of the North East as well as York and Leeds, both within commuting distance.
There is a good range of shops and services in Stokesley which is only 3.5 miles away. Stokesley is an attractive market town through which flows the River Leven before it joins the River Tees at Yarm. The High Street is lined with shops and a variety of eateries and has well thought of Primary and Secondary Schools. The town also has a leisure centre with swimming pool, health centre, police and fire stations. There is a weekly market every Friday and a monthly Farmers’ Market on the first Saturday of every month.
Darlington, Guisborough and Middlesbrough all have large retail parks and supermarkets. The nearest independent day school is Yarm School for boys and girls aged 3 to 18.
East Coast Mainline Rail services are available from Northallerton Station (18 miles) and Darlington (19 miles) with regular connections to London (about 2hr 20 mins). Teesside Airport is about 16 miles away.
The North York Moors National Park is within easy reach and offers a range of opportunities for walking, cycling and riding.

Newham Hall - Newham Hall is an imposing and impressive Grade II Listed former Country House dating from 1880 and is one of Teesside’s most important properties and the last of the original “Iron Masters” houses which remains intact and undeveloped.
Despite the Hall’s position it occupies a discrete and private position in a highly accessible location close to all amenities. The Hall has been well maintained by the current owners and custodians since it was purchased in 1952. It is built in the Jacobethan style and constructed of stone walls with Ashlar quoin work and dressings under a pitched slate and lead roof and provides accommodation over 4 storeys including lower ground floor, ground floor, first and second floors with a 3 bed flat to the second floor accommodation. In all Newham Hall extends to approximately 14,552 sqft and offers a “blank canvas” for reconfiguring the layout and accommodation.
The Hall exhibits a number of fine architectural and period features and is embellished with a projecting 4 stage Tower and further projecting porch to the front approach as well as rounded arch, pilasters, cornice, parapet, ball finials, balustraded parapet surmounted by the arms and crest of the Mills Family, octagonal tower, stone mullion/sash windows and dormers with kneelers.
Internally the Hall depicts decorative ceiling cornicing/frieze work with acanthus-enriched pulvinated frieze to the hall/ grand balustraded staircase, timber panelled walls, leaf moulded cornice work, parquet flooring, mullion/sash windows, Adam fireplaces and surrounds together with bespoke Gillow furniture and Adam style doorcases. The library, former drawing room and dining room/morning room are particularly attractive and well-proportioned rooms with views over the grounds and the adjacent parkland.
Newham Hall has served as Company Headquarters with office, lab space and workshops (Use Class E) and whilst this use is a possibility going forward the building could readily revert to its historic residential use either as a private residence (C3) or potential alternative uses including C1 Hotels, C2 Residential Institutions (Care Home), F1 Non Residential Institutions and F2 (subject to the necessary approvals).

Workshops / Outbuildings - Adjacent to the Hall are an extensive range of single storey brick and slate workshops/outbuildings with loft storage and later additions together with the former brick and slate stable block. The buildings extend in all to approximately 10,107 sqft and offer significant potential for conversion/development subject to the necessary planning and statutory consents. The workshops benefit from oil fired central heating, mains water and electric (3 phase supply). There is also a 3 tonne SWL hoist still in situ.
Additional buildings include a brick and mono-pitch profile tin car port (14.10m x 5.21m) and a timber and felt storage shed (7.29m x 9.91m).

Gardens And Grounds - The Hall is discretely positioned at the end of a shared private driveway and avenue of oak, chestnut and lime trees and enjoys a high degree of privacy surrounded by lawn gardens and mature trees including specimen Red Woods, Lebanon Cedar, Holly, Yew, Pine and Ash. The property enjoys views towards the Cleveland Hills and Roseberry Topping in the distance. The gardens and grounds are a particular feature and include a “Ha Ha”, pond and orchard together with an external retaining stone wall with balustraded parapet, elliptical headed niche and 2 flights of stone steps to the Hall.
The property benefits from extensive tarmac parking together with an adjacent post and rail grass paddock.

A particular feature is the chamfered mullion canted bay window with ribbed cyma-reversa swept lead roof.
