Description

A renovated Northumbrian stone home designed to offer groups a beautiful space to relax, celebrate and explore all Northumberland has to offer with a wheelchair friendly downstairs bedroom and shower room The space Hollin House is the rear wing of Highgreen Manor, which was built in 1894 by Sir Charles Morrison- Bell Bt., who owned coal mines in Co. Durham. The architect was CW Ancell, and his design for the Manor combined two separate dwellings on the site into the building that exists today. Hollin House was originally a farm worker’s house. It was likely built in the early 19th century, possibly before and would have been very simple structure, probably two rooms upstairs and two downstairs rooms, with later additions. When it became part of the Manor it was further extended to serve as accommodation for domestic staff but after WW2, when many of the staff had left, it lay empty for many years until the 1960s when it was split into 2 dwellings for farm workers on Highgreen Estate. In recent years the property was once again empty and much in need of attention. So William & Cynthia Morrison-Bell embarked on a major restoration project, working with Newton Architects, which was completed in 2022. The result is the bright and spacious property offering stunning group accomodation over five bedrooms, five bathrooms including a wheelchair friendly downstairs bedroom and wet room. While many older features have been retained, such as the large fireplace in the sitting room, elsewhere there is a decidedly contemporary feel, with special attention to detail. The main entrance and staircase are good examples, the latter using wood from the Estate to create a unique and eye catching feature.
