Corryhill is a substantial Grade II listed country house set within c.12.4 acres of enclosed land, offering exceptional valley and hillside views. The house keeps strong period character — exposed beams, inglenook and decorative fireplaces, stone elevations and a prominent 1728 date-stone — combined with generous living spaces including a large kitchen-dining-sitting area and a principal bedroom with extensive fitted storage.
The setting suits buyers seeking privacy, open landscape and flexibility for outdoor use: formal gardens, a maturing orchard, extensive parking, a powered double garage and stone outbuildings with water and a borehole system. Practical strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good local links to Haydon Bridge and Hexham for schools, shops and rail connections.
Important practical considerations: the property’s Grade II listing means alterations will be restricted and may require specialist consent and expense. The solid stone walls are assumed uninsulated and the heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators — a potential ongoing cost and a factor if buyers plan energy upgrades. There are only two bathrooms for four double bedrooms, and council tax is above average.
Overall, Corryhill will appeal to buyers who value historic character, large private landholdings and dramatic views, and who are prepared for listed-status ownership and the maintenance or sympathetic updating that a pre-1900 stone farmhouse typically requires.
