Room Information

The South Wing at Hindley Hall was purchased by the current owners in 1996 following the restructure and remodelling of this impressive estate into three principal wings of the main hall, which are utilised as private residential dwelling houses and a fourth wing which is divided into four apartments. The entrance into the hall and its grounds is highly impressive via a tarmacadam drive which connects through its own manicured grounds and tall mature trees to the private reception and drive of the South Wing. This driveway is circular and provides excellent car parking for many vehicles. The principal entrance of the South Wing is highly impressive with a stone vestibule leading through large oak panelled doors into the square reception hall with oak panelling and lovely wood flooring. Connecting from this area glazed double doors link to the family kitchen and breakfasting room with built-in appliances, cabinets and lovely tiling as well as great natural light. It has a utility and laundry room. There is a the sitting area with double doors connecting through to a courtyard terrace with a magnificent open view to the south over the formal lawned gardens and adjacent countryside. The drawing room is to the southern elevation of the house and is a very impressive room with tall ceilings, elaborately detailed cornicing and plasterwork and a delightful fireplace. The original dining hall is elegant and well proportioned with a superb staircase and main stairwell linking to the first floor above. From the dining hall access is gained to the lower ground floor and cellar rooms which have original wine bin stores. The family sitting room, a third principal reception room, is to the southern elevation with fabulous views to the south. The ground floor of the property does accommodate its own guest bedroom suite which is a large, tasteful double bedroom with an en-suite luxury bathroom with superb tiling. The main stairs connect to the first floor landing which is wide and bright leading onto four double bedrooms, the master with its own en-suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath and separate shower as well as a modern, contemporary suite enjoying good natural light. There are three further double bedrooms, one with its own en-suite bathroom/wc, which is also a very light and bright room. The main family shower room is a third area to have been refurbished with a modern suite with good quality tiling and an impressive double shower with lovely fittings. The South Wing at Hindley Hall is a very unusual and particularly rare property which is located only 1.5 miles from the local road into Stocksfield and therefore has great accessibility into Corbridge, Riding Mill and other nearby villages with excellent shopping facilities, especially Corbridge which is renowned for its high standards of retail and restaurants. The train station links easily into Newcastle to the east and Carlisle to the west and the A69 provides a very good road network throughout the area. Hindley is a very special location surrounded by stunning countryside, rolling hills and beautiful woodland. The hall itself and its redevelopment have been very successfully completed to a high standard and has created three luxurious houses which are complimented by the east wing with its four apartments. The grounds that surround the South Wing at Hindley are equally impressive with tall mature trees framing it entrance approach including two ancient Redwoods and a private sitting and garden area, hidden by a hedge boundary. The lovely south facing courtyard and terrace overlooking the formal lawned gardens enjoys excellent sunshine in the summer months. The South Wing of Hindley Hall is supported by oil fired central heating to the principal house with its own alarm system. Separate from the main house is a former gymnasium which is now utilised as a professional studio and working office. It would easily convert into a variety of other uses for residential and commercial purposes. To the ground floor there is an open veranda adjacent to the single plus garage which leads through to an open reception hall connecting at the rear to a storeroom, washroom facilities and a well planned kitchen. There are three professional offices to the ground floor, one used as a board room and the other two as private offices. The open tread staircase leads to the first floor over which provides an open plan studio accommodation for commercial purposes. It would easily accommodate a number of work stations and is very substantial in size being 38'5x 40'2 (12.09m x 12.16m). It is very well designed and fitted with Cat V cabling and power points as well as having its own central heating system with independent boiler and hot water. Hindley Hall and the surrounding area make this house very special indeed. The opportunity for a large quality dwelling and wing supported by its own commercial studio with a variety of alternative uses available is highly appealing in such a rural setting, supported by excellent villages not far away with the market town of Hexham with its Abbey and impressive shopping and schools. There is also easy access into Tyneside and Newcastle. This is a lovely home and viewing is strongly recommended.
