Overview
A rare opportunity to purchase a Georgian stone built property dating back to around 1840. Spital Hall is accessed through private gates up a sweeping gravel drive way and met by two stone pillars at the entrance. This elegant family home is set in circa 5 acres of well-manicured private gardens with mature trees.
The entrance hall with original oak panelling gives access the billiards room. The grand reception hall provides access to three of the six reception rooms: a dual aspect family room with log burner, a study room, which doubles as a library and a grand drawing room with the original fireplace and ornate features. This room is flooded with natural light from the impressive bay window which has a westerly view of the grounds. The three reception rooms all have access through glazed doors out to the conservatory which leads seamlessly out to the south-facing gardens.
A splendid kitchen/breakfast room with clean white modern base and wall units finished with granite work surfaces and integrated appliances, oil-fired Aga and central island, allowing access to the traditional panelled dining room with original features and ornate fireplace where formal dinner parties can take place and to the the relaxing Orangery, ideal for enjoying breakfast. The Orangery is flooded with natural light from the large glass atrium and has splendid views of the gardens. On this floor are a pantry, utility storage and the rear entrance with the useful boot room with access to the triple garages, cellar and wine store.
The stately staircase leads up to the galleried landing with a feature dome skylight, the principal bedroom with its own spacious dressing room and ensuite shower room. A further four double bedrooms (one ensuite), a separate family bathroom and additional WC complete this floor. There is a second set of rear stairs from the ground floor also leading up to the second floor with a further six rooms which could be reconfigured to make use of this ample space.
This property has 5 acres of land.
Outside
The gardens are of outstanding beauty and well maintained. They extend extensively to circa five acres and have a mature woodland to the southern boundary. The current vendor has explored adding a second dwelling completely private from the main Hall. The property also benefits from a separate brick stable block with original Carron Company iron stalls for up to three to four horses and original tilin. The block could be used for other hobbies. To the rear are three garages with electric up and over doors and ample parking for additional vehicles.

The property is located just outside of the small village of Mitford, a short distance from the bustling market town of Morpeth. The village has a local pub, a parish church and a village hall, while all of the day-to-day amenities, including supermarkets, are available in Morpeth. There are excellent road links in the area, with the A1 just a mile from the property, and mainline train services available from Morpeth (17 minutes to Newcastle).
