A choice of two cottages within this historic estate

Start day: Friday

Romantic Haughton Castle, a Grade 1 Listed building, dates from the peaceful era of 1260. The Castle faces parkland on one side, and a spectacular view across farmland with the North Tyne below. Cottage visitors may walk on the Estate land and particularly along the two miles of the quite beautiful North Tyne River which is part of the estate. A tennis court is available for use by arrangement with the owner.

Haughton Castle Farm House is situated upriver on a very small, quiet public lane approximately half a mile from the entrance to Haughton Castle. It has an elevated position approx 40 metres from the River Tyne. The attractive stone Farm House has lovely views over pastures and woodland down to the river and is centrally heated throughout. The lawned garden area has garden furniture, a barbeque and overlooks fields where sheep and Clydesdale horses will usually be seen grazing. There is a second small yard on the other side of the house with loose box which sometimes contains a horse.

The centrally heated Haughton Castle Lodge, situated just inside the gateway to the drive leading to the castle, is an attractive, single storey stone building with a pleasing outlook. It is sheltered and screened by the high stone Park wall and has a sunny garden and lawn (not enclosed), and a paved barbeque/sitting area on one side.
