The Property
Originally part of the esteemed Stelling Hall development, East Lodge is a striking stone-built home of rare character, quietly positioned in a peaceful stretch of Northumberland countryside. Its handsome, symmetrical façade with mullioned windows and decorative stonework hints at the building’s heritage, while an impressive extension to the rear has transformed the accommodation into a warm, generous family home with expansive views over open fields to the south and east.

The interiors balance traditional charm with relaxed, everyday comfort. Two well-proportioned reception rooms sit to the front of the house—each with their own fireplace and distinctive character. One is richly atmospheric, with deep-toned wainscoting and a carved timber surround, while the other offers a calmer, more contemporary space, softly lit through colonial-style shutters.

To the rear, the property opens into a remarkably spacious kitchen, dining and living area—a room that invites both gathering and quiet retreat. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of oak cabinetry and stone worktops, with a central island and a range cooker. A generous pantry offers designated storage for kitchen supplies, keeping the space organised. A set of windows over the sink frame uninterrupted countryside views, while a wood-burning stove set within a substantial stone surround lends warmth to the seating area. The adjacent dining space is generous enough to host large groups, brought to life by statement wallpaper and a run of windows that draw in the garden’s greenery.

Through the kitchen you can access a beautifully glazed garden room with a second wood-burning stove and bi-fold doors out to the patio, seamlessly extending the living space into the garden. Completing the ground floor is a practical utility room with laundry plumbing, WC and a versatile room that is currently being used as a study.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly inviting, featuring vaulted ceilings, dual-aspect windows, and an open, serene feel. This retreat also includes the luxury of a beautifully appointed en-suite and a separate dressing room. The first floor is also home to three additional bedrooms, each with charming, sloped ceilings and distinctive window alcoves. Two of these rooms are further enhanced with built-in wardrobes and dedicated desk areas. The family bathroom is a thoughtfully designed space, featuring a spacious walk-in shower, a luxurious freestanding roll-top bath, and elegant timber flooring that adds a touch of sophistication and warmth.

Externally
The property benefits from a long private driveway with a gated entrance, providing ample parking and leading to a detached double garage. Within the garage, you'll also find self-contained accommodation, comprising of a downstairs shower room and a double bedroom on the first floor. This versatile space offers excellent potential for use as a private annexe, a home office, or a holiday let (subject to the necessary consents).

The gardens wrap around the house and are mainly laid to lawn, edged by mature woodland and open countryside. A paved terrace outside the garden room offers a sheltered setting for al fresco dining, while the orientation allows for light and open skies throughout the day. Though rural in feel, the property offers quick access to local amenities and regional centres—an ideal combination of seclusion and connectivity.

Two additional cabins are spaced discreetly within the grounds—each with their own potential as studios or storage.
