Set within the rolling green hills just half an hour from the heart of Newcastle, this extraordinary countryside estate offers families a rare opportunity to reconnect, relax, and indulge in the ultimate luxury retreat. Designed to bring people together while offering ample space for privacy and comfort, this peaceful setting seamlessly blends contemporary elegance with the warmth and charm of home – all surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. 

The property spans two stunning residences: the Main House and a beautifully appointed Guest House, with space to comfortably sleep up to 33 guests. Whether it’s a multigenerational gathering, a milestone birthday celebration, or simply a long-overdue family getaway, every detail has been considered to ensure a stay that is as wholesome as it is memorable. 

From the moment you arrive, the sense of calm is instantly distinctive and unique. Framed by expansive gardens and uninterrupted countryside views, the estate offers a serene backdrop where children can play freely, adults can unwind, and everyone can enjoy the magic of shared time in a private, picturesque venue.

Inside the Main House, the interiors are effortlessly stylish and beautifully spacious. On the ground floor, a serene guest bedroom offers an inviting sanctuary, while the versatile dining room has been cleverly transformed to sleep additional guests, ideal for flexible sleeping arrangements. Upstairs, you’ll find the perfect balance of comfort and charm. The children’s bedrooms have been designed with both fun and practicality in mind: perfect for siblings or cousins sharing the space. Two additional bedrooms offer ample space for parents or older children, while the Master Suite provides a truly luxurious haven that you’ll wish you could enjoy permanently!

The adjacent Guest House offers additional privacy and comfort, with three thoughtfully designed rooms for a quiet, cosy nights’ sleep; ideal for children or teens who want to enjoy their own space while remaining close by.

Seven elegant bathrooms, each with sleek, modern fittings and tasteful design, ensure that everyone has room to get ready and unwind in comfort – no queues, no stress, just ease from beginning to reluctant end. 

The real joy of this property, however, lies in the experiences it offers. Spend warm afternoons relaxing in one of two luxurious outdoor hot tubs, where grown-ups can soak and unwind while the children explore the gardens. Adults can indulge in calming spa treatments with our experienced therapists, and the whole family can enjoy a delectable afternoon tea treat – with freshly homemade cakes, scones and sandwiches guaranteed to delight guests of all ages. Evenings come alive in the private cinema room, where the whole family can snuggle up with popcorn and enjoy movie nights in true style. And for moments of pure fun, the karaoke lounge invites guests of all ages to let loose, sing their favourite tunes, and create memories that will last a lifetime. 

Whether you’re playing games in the garden, enjoying long family meals together, or simply listening to the birdsong from the patio with a morning coffee in hand, this extraordinary home offers a truly unique family escape – a place where laughter lingers, the pace slows, and the beauty of togetherness takes centre stage. 

This is more than just a holiday home. It’s a destination for families to reconnect, celebrate, and find joy in the luxury of shared moments.
