4 THE PROPERTY Turpin s Hill House sits amidst picturesque Northumberland countryside, in an area given great historic interest by nearby Hadrian s Wall.

5 EXTERNALLY To the south-facing front of Turpin s Hill House there is a sweeping gravel drive and large parking area, with a colourfully-planted bed creating a turning circle. Viewing the house from the front affords the chance to appreciate the quality of the local Northumbrian stonework. A paved path leads between rose beds and the manicured lawn to the west of the house, where a stone patio with power sockets and lighting offers superb outdoor entertaining opportunities. A mixture of apple, pear and plum trees bring a distinctive touch to the gardens. To the rear, mature woodland provides shelter to the gravelled driveway and double garage. Benefitting from power, lighting and remote upand-over doors, the garage offers ample parking for two vehicles and useful storage shelving. The land which lies to the front of the house is well-maintained with quickthorn hedging around the boundary and amounts to just over 18 acres. The land has water from a natural stream in the south east corner and a trough to the west side fed from the estate pump house.
