Broadgate Farmhouse
Set on the edge of the Northumberland National Park 20 miles north of Hexham, the raw natural beauty of the surrounding landscape offers sheer escapism – think time-out with a good book and an evening of star-gazing under clear velvet skies, or a walk on the wild side for more spirited hikes, bikes and country pursuits.
This 19th Century period property has been sensitively designed for comfort, but with grown-up sophisticated spaces for those who love to socialise and entertain. As well as extensive outside grounds, including 3 miles of productive fishing on the River Rede, Broadgate Farmhouse offers ample space to meet all the needs of your party.
A sitting room with wood burner is wonderfully atmospheric with deep heritage tones complemented by furnishings in wool and linen which add style, texture and warmth. This leads into a superb open plan kitchen with AGA and informal dining area with doors opening-up to the patio and garden beyond.
For more formal entertaining, an impressive drawing room has plenty of wow factor with stunning artworks from the owner's collection, ornate drapes, and a vast picture window which amplifies the sense of light and space. Similarly the formal dining room is an impressive space allowing you to host up to sixteen guests in comfort. Catering can be arranged locally with everything from fine dining options right down to picnic lunches, with service options too for those really looking for an added touch of luxury.
A sun room is a perfect spot for taking-in the sunset with a fine dram, while a utility/boot room is ideal for dogs and completes the main accommodation on the ground floor. A large hall leads up to four sumptuous en-suite bedrooms on the first floor, each soft and restful with classic period detailing and accents in rich Chinoiserie and toile.
The garden is fully enclosed and landscaped to take advantage of the sweeping views using Northumbrian stone which complements the surrounding land and the historic Roman sites of the area.
Complimentary fishing permits for three rods come as part of the package here, and in the right conditions, good runs of salmon and sea-trout can be experienced as well as wild brown trout on 3 miles of private water on the River Rede, a tributary of The Tyne. In addition, guided salmon fishing may be made available on the South Tyne on request.
After a day of outdoor pursuits, those seeking a touch of Michelin star foodie heaven need look no further than Restaurant Hjem which has achieved the coveted stamp of approval as the first Michelin starred restaurant in Northumberland. Sitting just thirteen miles from Broadgate in the village of Wall, guests can experience a fantastic tasting menu combining the finest Northumbrian produce with the flair and precision of Scandinavia.

FISHING ON SITE
The Owners of Cragg Estate and The West End Anglers are delighted to offer up to three rods for guests to enjoy fishing the Estate’s stretch of the River Rede. Although the River Rede is the main tributary of the North Tyne it is a relatively small river which is fed from Catcleugh Reservoir. Unfortunately, it can suffer from long periods of low water conditions but after heavy rainfall the river rises quickly and generally a few days of good fishing follow. The river holds a good head of wild brown trout with a 3/4lb fish being a good one, however, there are some much larger ones. Salmon and Sea Trout start to appear in early summer but runs of fish are very dependent on there being high water. Please contact us for further details.
