Situated close to the highly desirable historic village of Newton in the Tyne Valley, the estate provides a fabulous rural lifestyle whilst simultaneously offering convenient access to the popular historic market towns of Corbridge and Hexham, and Newcastle beyond. In its entirety, Westside Farm offers a six-bedroom farmhouse with landscaped gardens, a tennis court (with potential, subject to the necessary consents), land extending to approximately 150 acres, lakes with adjacent woodland and an historic boathouse along with a substantial individually-designed lakeside lodge, a large detached building currently used as an art gallery (with planning permission and woodland to the rear) and a large agricultural building (with planning permission, woodland and a field). There have been many private shoots enjoyed at Westside Farm in the past and the property has huge scope for a lifestyle business opportunity.

This handsome stone- built property is beautifully presented, providing spacious and versatile accommodation throughout. On the ground floor, large windows and two splendid garden rooms flood the property with natural light. The impressive kitchen provides a fabulous heart of the home, whilst further entertaining space is offered in the generously-proportioned drawing room, dining room and sitting room. A staircase to the first floor accommodation leads from the elegant entrance hall to a bright and spacious landing, providing access to the master bedroom, guest bedroom, two further bedrooms and family bathroom. Stunning southerly views of the surrounding countryside can be enjoyed from each of the bedrooms, whilst the master bedroom further benefits from an en-suite bathroom and the guest bedroom offers an en-suite shower room. From the guest bedroom, a connecting door provides access to an internal annexe comprising storage space and two further bedrooms, one of which is substantial and currently used as an office. A staircase to the rear of the property provides direct access to this part of the house which could be repurposed in order to extend the existing provision of formal first floor accommodation or remain self-contained to provide accommodation for guests or dependent relatives. EXTERNALLY Westside Farm is approached via a sweeping tarmacadam drive leading past leafy woodland to arrive at the main farmhouse where there is parking for multiple vehicles. Extensive gardens wrap around the property and are beautifully manicured with large expanses of lawn, a wide variety of plants, shrubs and trees. There is a tennis court with planning potential and a stone wall to the boundary. Stunning southerly views can be enjoyed to the rear of the property where a substantial stone flagged sun terrace overlooks the garden and farmland beyond, providing an ideal place to relax and entertain. A wooden summer house offers further opportunity for the enjoyment of the spectacularly tranquil setting. There is an attached double garage with electric roller shutter doors. Below the gardens and grounds there is adjoining land extending to approximately 30 acres. LAKES, LODGE, BOATHOUSE AND WOODLAND ADJACENT TO LAKE A tree-lined road accessible by vehicles meanders through woodland and past farming land to reach the principal lake and architect-designed lakeside lodge. This beautiful setting is further enhanced by total privacy and provides the ideal place for entertaining and relaxing. The lodge was constructed to a high specification by a Norwegian design & building specialist and offers a large sitting/dining room with a stunning multi fuel stove, a kitchen, bedroom and shower room. To the rear of the cabin an external door leads onto a substantial wooden sun terrace situated on the water’s edge. The lodge gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a box hedge border and a delightful wooden footbridge providing access to one of the islands. Further around the lake there is an additional wooden footbridge providing access to another island, which is located next to an historic boathouse which once housed a boat belonging to the Victorian heroine Grace Darling. This truly wonderful setting is further enhanced by the shelterbelt of historic woodland and walkways which contains a variety of beautiful trees, many of which go back centuries. GALLERY The Gallery is a large detached building with full planning permission secured for a change of use of the existing structure into a contemporary four-bedroom house (Northumberland County Council Planning Reference: 16/04192/FUL). The property will be configured to maximise the stunning open views of the surrounding countryside, with a central living space defined by an open plan kitchen/dining room positioned adjacent to a large living room. Externally the property will benefit from mature woodland, landscaped gardens and amazing views. AGRICULTURAL BUILDING Below the lake and woodland area is an agricultural building which measures 22.5 x 13.8m. It may be possible to convert this building into residential dwellings under permitted development rights and our clients are currently making the necessary enquiries.

There has been a congregation of Christians of a Baptist persuasion meeting in the Tyne Valley since 1652, making it the second oldest such church in the north east of England and one of the oldest surviving Baptist churches in the country. However, statistics such as this do not really give the full picture, for a church is not primarily an institution or an organisation, but a community of people who have chosen to serve and worship God together. The real story of Stocksfield Baptist Church is told in the lives of the men and women who for three and a half centuries have encountered God, experienced his love and become followers of Jesus Christ, expressing this new-found faith through believers’ baptism. They have given their lives to serving their Lord through sharing their faith and helping people in need, meeting together for worship and teaching.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

  • 1 Case Study: Scata Clt, Stocksfield
    CASE STUDY: SCATA CLT, STOCKSFIELD NORTHUMBERLAND SCATA Community Land Trust is based in Stocksfield, a commuter village in the Tyne Valley, 13 miles west of Newcastle. It has built 7 new affordable rented homes in partnership with a major North East housing association. Stocksfield is a relatively high value area. Land prices and house prices are higher than many of the surrounding villages and it has always proved very hard to provide new affordable homes here. The SCATA scheme has managed to break the mould - providing the first affordable rented homes to be built in the village for twenty five years. SCATA has its roots in a proposal in the 2009 Broomley and Stocksfield Parish Plan to create a not-for-profit body that could do things for the village that could not be done by the Parish Council, and to do these things in a way that recycled any surplus for direct community benefit. A Steering Group was established with two Parish Councillors and a number of interested parties from the village including the community association, churches, the G.P. Surgery and individual residents. This group first met in March 2011. Four years later, SCATA’s seven new homes were built and occupied. Supported by a start-up grant from Northumberland County Council and on-going support from Social Enterprise Northumberland the Steering Group met regularly to explore opportunities. Given the priorities in the Parish Plan, it was quickly agreed that the initial focus should be on affordable rented housing. Two potential brownfield development sites emerged to give impetus to the project.
