Prior Manor provides an outstanding, detached, stone built family home, originally constructed around 1880. This beautiful property retains many lovely period features and has been refurbished and renovated over the years by the current owners who have significantly improved the accommodation on offer. The gardens and grounds surrounding Prior Manor extend to 0.605 acres with open lawned areas, beautiful pathways, mature shrubs and fruit trees, lovely terraces and several al fresco dining areas, all framed by tall trees which give great screening and privacy. The delightful principal gardens enjoy a south and west facing aspect and have previously been open to the public as part of the Corbridge Open Gardens event. The grounds also include a former Coach House which is ideal for an independent relative, visiting friends and family or could also be rented out to provide an income stream.

Ground Floor: Fabulous entrance porch leading through impressive double doors into the reception hall with staircase to the first floor | Elegant dining room with period fireplace and lovely views overlooking the gardens | Highly impressive drawing room | Attractive craft room | Cloakroom/wc | Very impressive kitchen with a range of beautiful, hand painted period cabinets with granite worktops, attractive flooring and a gas fired AGA | Back lobby/boot room and rear entrance | The kitchen leads through to a garden room, a magnificent addition to the house, individually and very cleverly designed by a local architect and constructed to a very high standard.
