An Early Tee Time Before Breakfast, Tennis After Lunch, Cricket On A Summer's Evening. All yours to enjoy with this luxury first floor apartment in the grounds of John Dobson’s Grade II listed Northumberland estate.
There's something about driving through private gates, with woodland on either side and a Grade II listed hall up ahead, that makes the journey home feel worth it.
And when two championship golf courses, a cricket pitch and tennis courts are all yours to enjoy within the grounds, evenings and weekends tend to take care of themselves.
Longhirst Hall was designed by John Dobson - the architect responsible for Newcastle's celebrated Grey Street - and built in the 1820s for local landowner William Lawson.
After decades of varied use, it was carefully converted in 2015 into a collection of luxury 28 homes within the original estate grounds - including this superb first-floor apartment.
The kitchen and dining area is light, practical and well-equipped, with granite worktops, white gloss units and a full set of integrated appliances.
Oak flooring runs through from the kitchen into the dining space, where there's room for a proper dining table and a few chairs around it.
The living area opens directly off the dining space, with views out over the communal grounds.
The main bedroom is a comfortable double with views across the gardens. The second bedroom works equally well as a guest room or a home office - useful if you're working remotely or expecting family to stay.
The shower room is smart and stylish, with a wall-hung vanity unit and chrome fittings.
Outside, the grounds are the real talking point. Two PGA Championship golf courses are within the estate, along with Morpeth Cricket, Hockey and Tennis Club - so the question of how to fill a weekend answers itself fairly quickly.
Allocated parking is included, with visitor spaces available for guests.
Morpeth town centre is about a five-minute drive away for shops, restaurants and cafés. Morpeth station puts Newcastle just 15 minutes away by train, with direct services to Edinburgh and London when you need them.
This luxury apartment gives you the chance to live an active life in a genuinely historic setting, with the city close enough when you want it and easy to ignore when you don't.
