Melrose St Dunstan’s, High Street Melrose, TD6 9PS Tel: 01896 807013 [email protected] knightfrank.co.uk Situation The village of Beltingham is situated in the heart of rural Northumberland, just south of the National Park, amidst some of northern Britain’s most dramatic landscapes. This is Reiver country, Hadrian’s Wall country - steeped in folklore and history. The hills and moors surrounding Beltingham are ancient, open, unspoilt and renowned for their wild beauty. The village nestles in an elevated position on the south side of the South Tyne Valley, where there is an altogether softer, more intimate charm, with lovely views to the north. Notwithstanding its rural location, Beltingham is readily accessible. It is approached from both east and west via the A69 road, connecting Newcastle and Carlisle; both cities can be reached by car within forty-five minutes. Just across the river from Beltingham House is Bardon Mill with its rail link to both cities and the east and west coast main lines. Hexham, the local market town, is ten miles to the east and has a full range of shops, services, medical facilities and schooling. The well-regarded private preparatory school at Mowden Hall is close by. Newcastle International Airport has a wide range of scheduled domestic and international flights. There are also scheduled flights from Carlisle Airport to London Southend, Belfast and Dublin airports. Beltingham is an ideal base for those wishing to take advantage of the wealth of sporting and recreational activities such as game shooting, fishing (salmon and trout fishing is available on South Tyne), riding and walking that are available in the area. Tourism plays a key part in the region. Hadrian’s Wall path, a national long distance path (84 miles long) running east to west, lies just to the north. Hadrian’s Wall itself has a number of ancient forts and visitor centres open to the public. Walking, camping and mountain biking are synonymous with the area. Directions From Newcastle take the A69 west. Approximately one mile east of Bardon Mill, turn left to Beltingham, crossing over the river and under the railway bridge and then fork right. Continue for approximately half a mile and turn right for Beltingham. Beltingham House is immediately adjacent to the church.

Description Although there may have been an earlier house, records show that Beltingham House as we know it dates from 1750 and is a fine example of a classical Georgian village house (with later additions). It provides exceptional family accommodation, together with well-proportioned, formal reception rooms. Of particular note is the gracious dining room and the open-plan drawing room/library, stretching across the full width of the house, which retains a wealth of period features such as the cornicing, fireplaces and the Georgian arch in the hallway. In recent years the house has undergone an extensive programme of repairs/modernisation/redecoration that includes new bathrooms and kitchens. Such is the layout of Beltingham House, it lends itself easily to being occupied as one house or as two separate dwellings. This gives plenty of scope for the west wing to be used for self-catering holiday and/or bed and breakfast accommodation, or as a “granny annex”. Currently Beltingham House is let successfully for self-catering holiday accommodation - http://beltinghamhouse.co.uk/ (See the floor plans for room layout and dimensions.)
