Summary - OLD CHURCH, MORPETH, HARBOTTLE NE65 7DQ
6 bed 5 bath Detached
Spacious historic home with dramatic interiors and commanding valley views.
Grade II listed Gothic Revival former church, circa 1854
A striking Grade II listed former Presbyterian church converted into a dramatic family home, The Old Church offers over 4,000 sq ft of vaulted space, stained glass and Gothic Revival details set on about one third of an acre. The property’s principal bedroom with en‑suite and sauna sits above a mezzanine social area; downstairs provides five further bedrooms and four bathrooms — a layout that suits a large family or multi‑occupancy use such as serviced accommodation.
Character and countryside views are major attractions: tall arched windows, exposed beams, stone construction and long views across the Coquet Valley create a memorable living environment. Practical features include a large breakfast kitchen with a seven‑ring range, a substantial double garage and a courtyard/patio for outdoor seating. The layout’s generous room sizes and high ceilings allow flexible use and further internal subdivision if required (subject to listed‑building consent).
Important practicalities and constraints are clear. As a Grade II listed building any alterations will require specialist consent and are likely to add cost and time to renovation or adaptation plans. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal only average, reflecting the hamlet location. The wider area has above‑average crime statistics and indicators of local deprivation; buyers should factor in potential running and maintenance costs for an older stone property.
This is a specialist purchase for someone who values historic character, space and rural outlook and is prepared for the responsibilities of owning a listed building. For the right buyer it offers a rare, flexible home with strong visual impact and long‑distance views in a quiet village setting.
