Willimoteswick is a substantial, productive Northumberland holding offering exceptional agricultural, sporting and income potential across circa 455 acres. The package includes a Grade II* farmhouse, an adjoining renovated cottage, extensive traditional and modern steading buildings, and approximately 1.41 miles of South Tyne river frontage — features that will appeal to agricultural buyers, investors and lifestyle purchasers seeking an operational unit with immediate outputs.
The farmland is predominantly Grade 2 and 3, well cared for and capable of mowing, grazing and some arable cropping. Woodland parcels have been managed for commercial opportunity and the estate currently generates sporting and fishing income, with an existing annual fishing let and established shoot infrastructure — practical benefits that complement the agricultural receipts.
There are important legal and practical considerations. Parts of the buildings are listed or designated as a scheduled monument and the property has active environmental schemes (Higher‑Tier Countryside Stewardship to 31/12/2027). Energy performance ratings are low (EPCs E and F) and some restoration, maintenance and compliance works should be anticipated. Buyers should note public footpaths cross the land, the properties share private drainage, and purchasers must review title, scheme transferability and listed/scheduled restrictions prior to offer.
