Far away from any hustle and bustle, this 19th Century home is set in 1000 acres on the Cragg Estate, in the heart of rural Northumberland's unspoilt countryside.

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 House & Steading benefits from 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.

A short step across the garden leads up to The Steading with two additional en-suite bedrooms – ideal for those seeking a peaceful nook away from the main house.

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.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION

For guests looking to holiday together but enjoy their own space, Broadgate House can be let in conjunction with Risingham House sleeping eight which sits 1 mile from the property.

If you require four bedrooms or less, there is a low occupancy option to book Broadgate Farmhouse (without the steading bedrooms and bathrooms) as a sleeps 8 property.

Location

On the banks of the North Tyne, the village of Bellingham features pretty stone cottages, ivy-strewn buildings, and a serene riverside setting. Perfect for nature lovers, Bellingham is surrounded by hidden waterfalls and an abundance of walking trails, making it the ideal spot for a peaceful weekend escape. After a good long walk, look forward to warming up by the fire in one of the village’s relaxed pubs or indulging in afternoon tea at one of the snug cafés.

Echoes of the area's history are dotted throughout the village, with highlights including St Cuthbert's Church and the nearby St Cuthbert's Well, locally known as Cuddy’s Well. Ramble alongside Hadrian's Wall or embark on the Hareshaw Linn Walk, which leads to a stunning 30-foot waterfall. The route, rich in flora and fauna, offers excellent birdwatching and wildlife spotting opportunities. For those interested in local heritage, the Bellingham Heritage Centre provides an insightful look into the area’s industrial and cultural past.

Just beyond Bellingham, the historic market town of Hexham awaits with its cobbled streets, quirky coffee shops, and award-winning restaurants. The village of Corbridge offers a variety of shops and dining options, while Matfen Hall boasts excellent spa and leisure facilities. Within easy reach of the well-preserved Roman forts of Vindolanda and Housesteads, Bellingham is also is the perfect base for families and history enthusiasts.

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. Guest are to bring their own fishing equipment; however, there are three rods available for use, free of charge. Please contact us for further details.

The Little Things We Love

The dream views and wide open spaces across the North Northumbrian heartlands.

Don't take our word for it...

Beautifully comfortable house and Steading. Stunning views of surrounding countryside. Plenty of room for extended family get- togethers. Lovely interior design, attention to detail and well equipped throughout. Very clean and welcoming. Well positioned for visits to Hexham, Corbridge, Cragside and Hadrians Wall.

Don't take our word for it...

We are a group of six couples who every year for the past 25 years have had a few days away together and over those years have stayed in some lovely properties. We all agreed that Broadgate house and Steading was the nicest we have ever stayed in. The furnishings and fittings were superb. Also the standard of cleanliness was excellent, please pass on our compliments to the owners and housekeeping staff.

Don't take our word for it...

We had a wonderful week at Broadgate House it is a great house and the picturesque valley it is situated in is ideal for walks, absolutely loved the river too and whiled away many a pleasant hour fishing from the bank and listening to the water. Perfect location for a family get together after the horrible past year we’ve had.
Mumford family, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

My family had a most enjoyable stay at wonderful Broadgate House. The house is spacious, extremely well set up and comfortable. Housekeeper most helpful. Position of house was great for Hadrian’s Wall and Kielder Water. Good walking and pubs nearby, The Gun in the next village was fab. We hope to visit Broadgate again.

Don't take our word for it...

Thank you for a wonderful stay at Broadgate House & Steading. It was the perfect place for a gathering of our clans and very special for us to all be together as it was our first Christmas since losing our Mum earlier in the year. Broadgate House was a touch of class and a beautiful space for us to relax and celebrate Christmas. It was extremely well equipped, warm and very comfortable. We're grateful to the housekeeper for presenting it so beautifully. We have had the perfect stay, thankyou.
Connolly family, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

The house is beautiful and a joy to stay in. The surrounding area is peaceful and tranquil with fantastic night skies and scenery. The local pub does decent food and beer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Webb party, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

A huge thank you to all at Crabtree and Crabtree for your efficiency and help, we had a wonderful week at Broadgate House last week celebrating three birthdays. A treat of a catered lunch in The Bothy made my Birthday extra special. The house itself was fabulous, a meal at Hjem was delicious, we went on beautiful walks around the estate including one to Bellingham along the old railway track and river. A trip to the Sycamore Gap tree stump was beautiful but sad. During the week two of our party fished the river hard, with a few brownies to show for it until the flood water took over, but they loved every minute. Thank you for a wonderful week in this utterly beautiful area.
