The Property

Measuring just over 5,000 sq. feet, this impressive Grade II listed home offers two south-facing reception rooms and a superb everyday living kitchen area at the rear. A striking entrance hall, complete with an oak staircase immediately leaves you under no illusion as to the high standard of fitting that runs throughout the property. Original mullioned windows and gothic-inspired features sit beautifully alongside contemporary oak panelling and polished stone floors. Careful attention has been paid to preserve and expose original ceiling timbers, which are believed to have once served a maritime purpose. Hartlaw Manor has a warm, homely layout and is immaculately presented throughout, featuring high-quality wooden sash windows in keeping with its heritage. Despite its rural location, the house benefits from a mains gas connection. Underfloor heating and excellent insulation have helped achieve an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of “C” — a rare accomplishment for a property of this age. Alongside the formal walled gardens, a paved rear courtyard offers a perfect sun trap for enjoying the late afternoon and early evening light.

Externally

Listed as “Garden and Paddock Walls to South of Hartlaw Farm Cottages,” these Grade II listed gardens reflect a scale and grandeur that hint at a time when the property was perhaps more than a simple farmhouse. Now laid to beautifully maintained tiered lawns, the gardens offer a rare combination of privacy and panoramic, uninterrupted views to the south. Historic records make particular note of the impressive gardens, describing them as “enclosed by high stone walls, which have heavy moulded and dressed coping stones…”

Hartlaw Manor boasts an enviable range of equestrian facilities, centred around the purpose-built American Barn-style stable block, which includes six boxes, a tack room, and a storage area. An additional shed provides extra stables or general storage. A charming doorway into the walled garden leads along a tarmac path to an outdoor, floodlit riding arena, measuring approximately 41m x 24m – an arena with a view. Although the owner no longer keeps horses, when the stable block is full, there remains ample grazing on the adjoining c. 23 acres of grassland.

Local Information

Hartlaw Manor is a ten-minute drive from the historic market town of Alnwick, which offers a wide range of schools, shops and local services. Thanks to easy access onto the A1, a journey into central Newcastle can be completed in a little over 40 minutes. Remarkably, the property is also only ten minutes from the stunning Northumberland coastline, famed for its beautiful beaches and dramatic castles. Occupying an elevated position, Hartlaw Manor enjoys some of the most spectacular views imaginable stretching south across the Vale of Coquet to Longhorsley Moor and as far as Cresswell Point.
