Property description
Hepscott Hall was originally a pele tower built in the reign of Henry III. In 1603, two wings were added and it was altered in late C17 and early C18. Recently (circa 1985) it was altered again to compete with its modern neighbours. It is an imposing Grade II Listed building situated on the edge of popular village, close to Morpeth and is within easy reach of Newcastle. The property stands in gardens and grounds extending to approximately three quarters of an acre. The Hall is of significant historical and architectural interest and retains original features including leaded light and sash windows, inglenook fireplaces, timber beams and vaulted ceilings. The accommodation comprises a working reception hall/dining room with stone inglenook, lounge with stone inglenook and wood burning stove, study, cloakroom, farmhouse style kitchen, garden room, games room, five large bedrooms, one with dressing area and two bathrooms. Stone gate posts lead to the circular drive with spacious courtyard at the front of the hall with circular lawn and tiered fountain enclosed by high antique brick walls. The large sheltered garden to the rear of the property is predominately laid to lawn with borders, mature trees and a heated swimming pool with separate kitchen garden with derelict brick built dovecote.
