The Old Sawmill - A Four Bedroom Detached Residence - Sawmill Cottage- A Three Bedroom Cottage - The Bakery - A Two Bedroom Cottage - The Old Workshop - A Three Bedroom Cottage

Situated within approximately 8.5 acres of woodland and grounds is this lovely country steading offering a fabulous family home and three successful holiday cottages. Set within the grounds of Middleton Hall, The Old Sawmill and its cottages were the original outbuildings for the estate and now provide a lovely country home with excellent access to the Northumberland Heritage Coastline and villages.

The entrance leads through the main Middleton Hall and then branches off to the private road of The Old Sawmill, where a beautiful tree lined driveway leads down through a private gated entrance into the steading.

Situated to the east of the steading is the main residence, The Old Sawmill. On entering the property, a lovely entrance hallway offers access to a cloakroom WC as well as a boot room and leads to a fabulous open plan kitchen, living and dining room, with the kitchen offering German style modern cabinets and high quality integrated appliances. The living and dining room offers a full height ceiling with exposed roof timbers, glazed windows, and wood flooring, as well as a log burning fire. There is also access to a pantry/utility area that leads through to the children’s lounge.

To the east wing of the property, there is a formal sitting room which has great interior design and decoration, as well as double doors leading onto the terrace and gardens.

Returning to the main hallway, access leads to three double bedrooms, two of which share a stylish Jack & Jill shower room and the third having access to an ensuite shower room.

The principal staircase leads up into the tower, where the master bedroom is located, and this provides a large double room with ensuite luxury bathroom and distant views of Lindisfarne Holy Island.

Externally, the entrance to the property provides an open courtyard with parking for many cars, adjacent to the principal fishing lake, which has been further invested in with the removal of the silt works. This lake now offers an abundance of trout for fishing and a boat house.

Within the grounds of The Sawmill is another steading farm yard, which is divided into three holiday cottages, namely Sawmill Cottage, The Bakery and The Old Workshop.

Sawmill Cottage offers approximately 1370 sq.ft. of accommodation including an open plan kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances and a central island, three good sized bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite shower room, and a family bathroom. Sawmill Cottage has been used as a successful holiday let since 2015.

The Bakery offers around 967 sq.ft. of accommodation including an open plan kitchen/diner, two bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite shower room, and a separate family bathroom. There is also an attached office, which has its own access door from the rear. This property has been a successful holiday let since 2022.

The Old Workshop, the final property on the site, offers approximately 1247 sq.ft. of accommodation with three bedrooms, an ensuite shower room, a family bathroom, and a good sized open plan kitchen/breakfast room. The Old Workshop has been a successful holiday let since 2020.

All the cottages have outstanding internal presentation with modern fitted appliances, kitchens and bathrooms, and beautiful interior design. They all benefit from their own private areas and parking. 

Formal gardens are positioned to the central courtyard and access over the burn leads to a superb children’s woodland area, as well as a range of private woodland walks surrounding the property.

Also within the grounds, there is a newly refurbished stable block offering four stables for storage or livery, as well as a garage, workshop, poultry shed and a wide range of outbuildings, all situated within a log and timber yard.  

Finally, there is an old drying barn which could create another large property, with historic planning granted for a three bedroom cottage or equally could be used as a function room or potential wedding venue.

The property is located on the outskirts of Belford, a charming country village situated to the north of Alnwick, and is only 6 miles from the popular coastal village of Bamburgh, 8 miles from the famous Holy Island and only 13 miles from Berwick upon Tweed on the Scottish borders.

The Sawmill is a truly special property, which would be ideal for anyone looking for country living near the coast.  Viewings are strongly recommended to appreciate the full range of accommodation on offer.
