Historic Mill with links to Henry VIII, Northumberland

A fabulous six bedroom former Mill, with additional two bedroom cottage, gardens and approximately 70 acres of land in a rural Tyne Valley location.

Hallington Mill is a highly desirable country residence in a private but accessible rural location on the Northern edge of the Tyne Valley, within easy travelling distance of Newcastle upon Tyne, Carlisle, Edinburgh or the Scottish Borders.

The property comprises a well appointed former water mill, to which the Mill wheel remains in situ on the eastern gable, a detached two bedroom cottage and approximately 70 acres of pasture and arable farmland.

The main residence, Hallington Mill, provides spacious accommodation comprising four formal reception rooms and six bedrooms (three en-suite), combining well appointed modern comforts with period sales features, including timber beamed ceilings, traditional fire places and the some of mill’s former machinery.

Hallington Mill Cottage is an attractive detached stone under slate dwelling situated close to, but entirely separate from the main Mill. The cottage is believed to have been the Miller’s Assistant’s dwelling and provides well presented two bedroom accommodation which could be used as additional accommodation to the Mill, or as a self-contained cottage for letting, relatives or staff.

The Mill and its cottage are surrounded by formal gardens and informal grounds, with lawns, ponds and patio areas, whilst a largely ring fenced block of circa 36 acres of pasture, with additional land close by enables adaptability for equine, small holding or letting purposes.

James Abbott, selling agent at Smiths Gore’s Corbridge Office says: “The Mill is dated 1708, although a Mill has operated from the site since the mid-1600s, when records suggest that it was owned by Mr Philip Bickerstaff, the Clerk of the Poultry to King Henry VIII.

“The property is available in three separate lots or as a whole. It is a unique opportunity to purchase a historic corner of rural England.”

Hallington Mill is marketed for offers in excess of £1,300,000 for the whole.
