The property, accessed via a long gravel driveway and believed to have been built circa 1850, is currently on the market via Knight Frank at a guide price of £1.975 million.
Formal garden ‘rooms’ can be found within its 8½ acres, as well as an orchard, tennis court and lawns leading to a paddock and woodland.

Stocksfield: What you need to know
Location: The village is located near the south bank of River Tyne, about 14 miles west of Newcastle Upon Tyne. There is a train station located within Stocksfield itself and further stations at Riding Mill and Prudhoe. There are excellent road links via the A1 and M6 and Newcastle International Airport is a short distance away.
Atmosphere: The popular commuter village is home to a number of independent shops, a doctors surgery, post office plus a golf and tennis club. Neighbouring Corbridge offers further amenities including a popular delicatessen, artisan shops and restaurants.
Things to do: Sporting enthusiasts will enjoy the local tennis and golf clubs, whilst the surrounding Northumberland countryside is the perfect place to walk and explore. For those looking for a livelier atmosphere, head into Newcastle for its fantastic bar and restaurant scene.
