The property
Believed to date to c.1720, with later enhancements and renovations by the current owners, and reflecting the characteristics of Georgian architecture, Newmoor Hall is an exemplary country house which provides 4005 sq. ft of refined interior accommodation, where period detail is styled with modern undertones. Showcasing distinctive multipaned sash windows with stepped keystones and a stately portal at the entrance, the house offers a grand sense of arrival, with the spacious reception hall affording glimpses to the galleried landing above. Double doors open to an elegant sitting room, centred around a feature fireplace, with a second reception area beyond the staircase offering an alternative setting with a log burner for cosy evenings in. Continuing through the ground floor interlinking rooms there is a formal dining room with a staircase to the first floor and an adjoining versatile-use games room. The kitchen/breakfast room denotes an addition to the original structure of the building and presents with a vaulted and panelled ceiling for a light and airy feel. Fitted with contemporary cabinetry, stone work surfaces and a Belfast sink, the kitchen features a circular wood peninsula breakfast bar, and handy access to the rear courtyard. The cloakroom and Utility room complete the ground floor.

Two stairways rise to the upper level which comprises of five double bedrooms and two beautifully-styled bathrooms featuring freestanding, clawfoot tubs. The principal room benefits from access to a modern en suite wet room, and a hatch on the landing

Newmoor Hall enjoys a tranquil elevated position with far reaching views over the Northumberland landscape. The garden and grounds feature expanses of lawn interspersed with majestic trees, with manicured lengths of high and low level evergreen hedging providing a visually-pleasing formality. Timber gates open onto a swathe of gravelled driveway, with centre-piece, at the front of the house providing parking for several vehicles, with a second gate accessing a cobbled hardstanding area at the rear, which also leads to the annexe. A paved terrace with step level changes adjoins the south-east facing aspect of the property offering opportunities for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation whilst taking in the splendid outlook.
