Situated near the sought-after village of Stocksfield, Northumberland, Hindley Hall offers a unique opportunity to own a revered estate that neatly merges historical grandeur with modern luxury. Originally built between 1858-61, the property has since been beautifully updated to exacting standards, showcasing luxurious interior living spaces and magnificent landscaped gardens, grazing and private riverside woodland. The property’s exterior is unmistakably impressive, featuring stately architecture set against a backdrop of Northumbrian countryside and manicured gardens.Within the interior, Hindley Hall's grand entrance hall makes a strong first impression. Stone pillars punctuate the wooden walkway, illuminated by a spectacular chandelier, leading to a grand marble staircase. The living areas are elegantly designed; the adjacent open-plan kitchen/sitting room is equipped with high-end fixtures, including sleek deep plum cabinetry complemented by integrated appliances such as an oven, microwave, coffee machine, fridge/freezer, gas hob, and induction hob, along with a classic black AGA. A walk-in larder and utility room with comprehensive amenities service the kitchen.
The nearby sunroom is a standout feature and a tranquil retreat on the ground floor, featuring bi-fold doors that open wide to offer views of the Italian ornate gardens. The remaining ground floor reception rooms are all wonderfully spacious and finely crafted. A double-sided cassette fireplace, open to both the lounge and entry hall, provides a warm and inviting ambiance, and the impressive dining room houses a 12-seater Italian marble dining table for gatherings.
Further enhancing the home's appeal are bespoke features like the AV system, eco-friendly underfloor heating, and double glazing throughout.
The first floor houses several attractive leisure amenities, including a gymnasium complete with a steam sauna, infrared sauna, and shower. There is also a spacious games room with a full-size snooker table that provides access to a balcony overlooking the sublime garden and grounds.
The principal bedroom, notable for its spacious layout and uninterrupted views, is tastefully decorated in soft, neutral tones. It includes separate 'His and Hers' dressing rooms and two expansive ensuites featuring a double jacuzzi bath. Spread across the first and second floors, three additional bedrooms are thoughtfully distributed; each featuring the added luxury of an ensuite. On the second floor, a bespoke study/library designed by Neville Johnson creates a quiet retreat, ideal for privacy away from the home’s main areas. This could be repurposed as a fifth bedroom should the need arise.
Hindley Hall's features are numerous, and to really appreciate the breadth and extent of the property, we would recommend booking a viewing via our sales team.

At its heart lies a classic walled Italian garden, complete with patterned patios and an ornate fountain. Beyond, the property unfolds to expansive lawns overshadowed by an ancient sycamore and bordered by espalier fruit trees. A ‘ha-ha’ wall marks the boundary to 5 hectares of prime grazing land, divided into two fields. The inclusion of a day stable makes this area ideal for equestrian pursuits. The acreage also comprises an ancient woodland belt of oak, birch, and hazel, providing a haven for wildlife and a place for peaceful woodland walks.
Adding to the estate’s charm is a private riverside walk along Stocksfield Burn, offering a peaceful escape and a fenced conservation area with livestock-friendly hedgerows planted in 2023.
