An exquisite Northumberland Grade I Listed Georgian mansion house with a guest apartment, three carriage houses and a stable block set within 24 acres is being offered by GSC Grays with a guide price of £3,150,000.
Milbourne Hall, near Ponteland, was designed by the Scottish Architect John Paterson and constructed of Belsay Stone flecked with nuggets of iron and is believed to date back to 1807.
The Hall has an entry in Pevsner’s The Buildings of England who comments on the oval rooms and geometric architecture as ‘…ingeniously worked out so that nearly every room inside is oval’.
James Denne, Property Agent at GSC Grays said: “Milbourne Hall is one of Northumberland’s grandest family residences, uniquely arranged around an octagonal courtyard. The property has retained its grandeur, showcasing a wealth of character and architectural features, including a distinctive central rotunda crowned by a stunning dome. Set within beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds, Milbourne Hall is genuinely unparalleled in its grandeur and charm.”
The property is approached via a long sweeping tree lined driveway with the courtyard leading to the carriage houses, outbuildings, six stables, garaging, mixed woodland, paddock, formal lawn, flight pond, walled garden and garden room.
The Hall boasts eight bedrooms with impressive receptions rooms radiating from the stunning two storey rotunda salon. There is a formal dining room, kitchen with island, bright drawing room, octagonal library, family room, bathrooms, washrooms and cellar. The Hall has two historic fireplaces – one, wood of c.1750, Rococo style; the other white marble of c.1800.
The main house provides access to the two storey, three bedroom guest apartment which has a separate private entrance from the courtyard. The apartment has been designed to be self-contained but could easily be reincorporated back into the main house.
The three self-contained carriage houses in the north, south and west wings can be used for visiting guests or offer the option to generate a substantial income stream.
The gardens and grounds feature a formal lawn, mature trees, shrub borders, and a secluded walled garden with traditional planting and natural growth, creating a haven for wildlife. A freshwater flight pond attracts wildfowl at dusk, and there is an enclosed furrowed paddock. Within the walled garden, a summer house with water and electricity offers a charming retreat, while a woodcutter’s shed provides a practical workshop and log store.
The Hall is located 4 miles from Ponteland and under 12 miles from Newcastle, which offers A1 motorway access, East Coast rail links to London and Edinburgh, and Newcastle International Airport for international flights.
Milbourne Hall is on the market with a guide price of £3,150,000 through GSC Grays Richmond office 01748 897630.
