Property Description

A stunning opportunity to acquire a freehold Grade II listed former Country House dating back to 1870 and most recently used as a 25 bedroom Luxury Hotel, set within grounds of approximately 16 acres and boasting mature woodlands, lawns, private fishing lake and river with fishing rights. The property is in need of renovation, restoration and modernisation and would ideally suit an investor/developer to restore the stunning hall to its former glory. There are a wide range of options both residential and commercial available (STPP) and the property has the potential to have significant value added once works are completed. The Hall is located a mile from the historic village of Otterburn and is within the Northumberland National Park. We are informed that a scheme of asbestos removal has been undertaken. Prospective buyers are advised to make all necessary independent enquiries prior to placing their bid as this will be binding.
