National property consultancy Bradley Hall’s Durham office has been appointed to market Four Acres, an exceptional nine-bedroom contemporary residence at Hartford Bridge, Northumberland, with a guide price of £3.95 million.
Set within approximately four acres of private grounds overlooking the woodland canopy at Plessey Woods, Four Acres combines striking contemporary architecture, bespoke interiors and extensive leisure and entertaining facilities, creating a distinctive family home in a secluded countryside setting.
Lauren Gill, Branch Manager at Bradley Hall’s Durham office, said: “Four Acres is a truly distinctive property, combining contemporary architecture and exceptional interiors with the privacy and tranquillity of its woodland setting.
“The scale of the home, its bespoke entertaining spaces and extensive grounds make it an impressive offering for buyers seeking a substantial family residence in the North East, with the added appeal of being surrounded by nature while remaining within easy reach of the region’s key towns and cities.”
Approached through electric gates and a sweeping private driveway, the property makes an immediate impression with its combination of natural Burlington Lakeland stone, cedar cladding and expansive glazing. Built around a substantial steel frame, the residence has been designed to maximise natural light and create a strong connection between its contemporary interiors and the mature trees and greenery beyond.
Inside, the scale of the architecture continues with dramatic double and triple-height spaces, a striking bespoke staircase and extensive glazing framing views across the gardens and surrounding woodland.
The main living accommodation has been arranged to balance everyday family life with large-scale entertaining. At its heart is a substantial open-plan kitchen and breakfast room, centred around a contemporary island and complemented by integrated appliances and a separate larder. Adjoining living and dining spaces provide flexibility for both relaxed family gatherings and formal occasions.
A dedicated entertainment room and bar, designed and fitted by specialist commercial interiors company Swandene, creates a further focal point for hosting guests. The property also benefits from a substantial home gym with an adjoining shower room, alongside practical accommodation including a utility room, boot room and plant room.
The nine-bedroom layout includes an impressive principal suite, complete with a bespoke dressing room, en-suite bathroom and balcony access. The dressing room features extensive fitted storage and a central island, while the bathrooms incorporate Porcelanosa fittings and high-quality granite and marble finishes.
Further accommodation on the upper floor includes a substantial family room, offering flexibility for use as a cinema room, games room or additional lounge.
Technology and comfort have been integrated throughout the residence, with underfloor heating across the ground and first floors, air conditioning in the principal bedrooms, smart lighting controls and a professionally installed network supporting high-speed fibre broadband.
Outside, the grounds provide a private setting for outdoor living and entertaining. The principal residence opens onto a generous south-facing paved terrace, while a landscaped sunken seating area arranged around a central fire feature creates an additional space for relaxing and hosting guests. Mature trees and established planting provide natural screening, reinforcing the property’s sense of privacy and connection with the surrounding landscape.
A substantial detached garage and ancillary building, extending to approximately 1,478 sq ft, provides further versatility. In addition to garaging, the building incorporates bedrooms, a sitting room and bathroom facilities, offering potential for guest accommodation or extended family use, subject to any necessary consents.
Despite its secluded feel, Four Acres is conveniently positioned between Morpeth and Cramlington, with road links via the A1, A19 and A189 providing access to Newcastle and the wider North East. Nearby Plessey Woods Country Park offers woodland, meadow and riverside walks, adding to the appeal of the property’s natural setting.
Four Acres is being marketed by Bradley Hall’s Durham office with a guide price of £3.95 million.
