Set within the private grounds of the historic Newminster Abbey Estate, The Stables is a spacious detached home that blends period character with generous modern living. The property offers four double bedrooms, three reception rooms including a dramatic orangery and adjoining garden room, plus a large double garage and extensive mature gardens — a rare package close to Morpeth town centre.
Internally the house is arranged over multiple levels with high, vaulted ceilings in the dining room, exposed beams, and a substantial orangery with a vaulted glass roof and log-burning stove. The kitchen is a sizeable, practical heart to the home with granite worktops and access to the garden; a versatile first-floor reception could serve as a home office, studio or extra living area. Ground-floor bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom add flexibility for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls with no fitted insulation (assumed), council tax is Band G and therefore relatively costly, and the address sits within a coalfield area which will need legal clarity. Broadband provision in the immediate area is limited compared with mobile coverage, and there are no active planning permissions for further works (checked July 2025). These factors are offset by mains gas central heating, double glazing installed post-2002, low flood risk and a chain-free sale.
This home will suit families or purchasers seeking a prestigious, characterful residence with substantial garden space and room for lifestyle flexibility. It also offers potential for sympathetic updating where desired — buyers wishing to alter or extend should factor in the lack of current planning approvals and the need for specialist surveys given the age and construction of the building.
