Crabtree & Crabtree is excited to unveil a stunning new luxury self-catering country escape: The West Wing at Stagshaw House, Corbridge, Northumberland.
This enchanting, meticulously restored three-bedroom Georgian-style wing of a Grade II listed house is nestled in the heart of Hadrian's Wall country, with origins dating back to the early 1500s. The retreat offers sweeping views of the lush Tyne Valley from beautifully landscaped gardens.
Owned by the Straker family since 1868, the West Wing has been elegantly renovated by the current generation. It features a private entrance through a dedicated garden, welcoming guests into a grand entrance hall with original parquet floors, an intricately carved staircase, and vibrant interiors designed by Birdie Burnell. Birdie, who has lived at Stagshaw House with her family since 2019, has played a significant role in updating the main house, and her love for antiques and historical heirlooms is evident throughout the property.
The sunlit kitchen and dining area exude rustic elegance, while the sitting room boasts exquisite hand-painted Chinoiserie wallpaper, a beautifully carved fireplace, and sweeping garden vistas framed by 12-pane windows.
The bedrooms are appointed with luxurious Hypnos beds and artisanal textiles, including a stunning Bergère headboard rescued from France. Birdie's grandmother's antique French sleigh bed has been reupholstered in elegant Guy Goodfellow linen and is now crowned with a canopy discovered in the attic of Stagshaw House, adorned with Chelsea Textiles fabrics.
Guests can unwind in the west-facing garden, explore the estate's rhododendron-filled woodlands, or visit the tranquil chapel, offering the perfect blend of historic grandeur and modern comfort.
Ideal for families and small groups, The West Wing promises an unforgettable retreat, where every moment inspires relaxation and discovery amidst the captivating landscapes of Northumberland.
Sleeps 6 | 3 Bedrooms. 4 nights available through Crabtree & Crabtree from £860. To book, visit crabtreeandcrabtree.com or call 01573 226 711.
