The Folly- Middleton Hall Estate

This charming Victorian folly on the Middleton Hall Estate a few miles from the stunning Northumbrian coast has been fully renovated from top to toe to create a unique couple’s retreat.

Charming Victorian folly inspired by Italy
Thought to be inspired by a trip to Italy made by the original owner of the estate, this idyllic bolthole comes complete with a mini Italian-style garden and sits adjacent to the pretty mill race once used to create electricity for the estate.

Inside, the beautifully-presented and wonderfully quirky accommodation comprises a cosy seating area and well-equipped kitchen on the ground floor with doors leading to an outside dining area, a first floor bedroom with a balcony overlooking the garden and a fabulous bathroom on the top floor complete with the workings of the building’s original clock.

Guests can enjoy the 30 acres of secluded, wooded grounds which make up the wider estate and are a haven for wildlife including deer and red squirrels. Why not try a spot of fishing; the lake is stocked with carp, sturgeon and tiddlers.
