Property description
AVAILABLE TO RENT FROM OCTOBER 1ST 2026.
Robinsons are delighted to offer to the rental market this truly impressive fully furnished home, set within the historic Grade II* listed Stanhope Hall. This exceptional five-bedroom residence beautifully blends rich heritage with refined contemporary style. Dating back in part to the 12th century, the home retains an abundance of original character, including exposed stonework, timber beams, mullioned windows, elegant fireplaces and beautifully panelled walls. Positioned on the edge of the charming market town of Stanhope, the property enjoys immediate access to the stunning landscapes of the North Pennines National Landscape.
At the heart of the home is the magnificent 32ft split-level drawing and dining room, a striking space centred around a grand Tudor inglenook fireplace. High ceilings, original wood panelling, window seats and an impressive arched studded door create a warm yet dramatic setting for both entertaining and everyday living. A separate sitting room, featuring exposed stone walls and a wood-burning stove, provides a cosy and inviting retreat.
The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with fitted cabinetry, wooden worktops, a butler sink and space for modern appliances, combining practicality with timeless style.
Arranged over the upper floors are five beautifully presented bedrooms, each benefitting from its own en suite. Two generous double bedrooms are located on the first floor, while the second floor offers three further bedrooms, including two spacious doubles, providing versatile accommodation ideal for families or those requiring additional guest or home office space.
Externally, the property enjoys private parking for several vehicles and beautifully enclosed gardens to both the front and rear. A gravel terrace and raised deck beneath a timber pergola create elegant spaces for outdoor dining and relaxation, while the lawned gardens are designed for ease of maintenance.
Location - Stanhope is a picturesque and well-connected town offering everyday amenities including independent shops, cafés, pubs and schooling, with further facilities available in nearby Bishop Auckland and Consett. Surrounded by some of the North Pennines’ most spectacular scenery, the area is renowned for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, while excellent road links via the A68 provide convenient access to Hexham, Newcastle and beyond.
