Spectacular estate in Northumberland
Acton Hall Stables is a magnificent small estate set in the heart of Northumberland, close to the county’s coastline and the popular town of Alnwick


Acton Hall Stables sits in 17 acres of glorious Northumberland countryside and is the perfect small estate. At its heart lies the main house, a seven-bedroom contemporary country house which, when it was restored, was awarded a North East Civic Trust award.
The house is perfect for people with an equestrian leaning: there’s a stone stable block, two-storey tack room and 12.5 acres of paddocks.
The sale includes a stretch of fishing for 2 rods extending to approximately 100m of single bank fishing on the “Groves Wood” beat of the productive River Coquet. Being situated less than a mile from Acton Hall Stables means that the owners or their guests are well positioned to enjoy time on the river fishing for salmon, trout and sea trout.
The market towns of Alnwick and Morpeth are just 7 and 12 miles away respectively while Newcastle-upon-Tyne is 28 miles.
The house is being sold through Sale and Partners at a guide price of £2.25m. Contact, 01668 281 611; www.saleandpartners.co.uk

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
