Old Granary House
The Old Granary House is set in the midst of Hadrian’s Wall country, where the River North Tyne meanders its way through undulating Northumbrian countryside towards nearby Corbridge. Sleeping seven guests in four bedrooms, the Old Granary House delivers rural seclusion, contemporary interiors and easy access to a wealth of local walks, bike rides, Hadrian’s Wall sites and charming towns.
A handsome stone house surrounded by rolling countryside, the tastefully renovated Old Granary House is ideal for groups of friends or families seeking a spot of blissful isolation without compromising on stylish accommodation. Stepping into the kitchen, you’ll discover an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that’s flooded with light from bifold doors, which open out onto a generous patio and enclosed garden with far-reaching country views.
A considered mix of the antique and contemporary keep this large ground floor space stylish yet comforting: sleek grey kitchen units contrast with a rustic timber dining table and cane chairs while antique sideboards and a roaring wood burner sit by modern ladder shelves and wrought iron tables.
The blend of old and new continues in the comfortable bedrooms found on the first floor. Size matters when it comes to beds and these do not disappoint, with the three ensuite double rooms comprising a super king and two king size beds. The fourth room, a single, accesses a family bathroom with a bath and shower over it.
As tempting as it will be to simply relax by the fire or on the patio, the Old Granary House claims a host of activities on its doorstep. Chesters Roman Fort (Britain’s best preserved Roman cavalry fort), Bathhouse and Museum sits almost literally next door while the celebrated Vindolanda Fort and Museum is just 15 minutes’ drive away. Another local favourite, particularly for families, is the National Landscape Discovery Centre, The Sill (10 minutes’ drive), while more urban pleasures can be discovered at the historic market town of Hexham (15 minutes’ drive).

Important Information
There are farm barns on one side of the property leading to the owners property which is accessed via a separate access and courtyard. The garden bounds on to a section of the owners garden, however while the owners are on hand to help with any guest queries, they are very respectful of guest privacy.
There is a one-bedroom holiday cottage adjacent to Old Granary House called The Hat Shop. This cottage is accessed via the owner's courtyard so does not share an access drive or parking area with Old Granary House. There is one small window from the sitting room of The Hat Shop, facing onto the lawn of Old Granary House. This can be seen in images 2,3, and 4 and is not anticipated to impact upon privacy in Old Granary House.
