A Northumberland farm extending to approximately 220 acres has gone on the market for £1.3 million, offering a traditional farmhouse, extensive agricultural buildings and pastureland around six miles south of Hexham.
Known as Lords Lot, the property is being sold as a whole by private treaty. The freehold holding is offered subject to a Farm Business Tenancy, or FBT, which terminates on May 15, 2027.
A traditional farmhouse near Hexham
Lords Lot Farmhouse is a detached, stone-built Northumbrian farmhouse beneath a slate roof. The accommodation includes four double bedrooms, a family bathroom, two reception rooms, a kitchen, a pantry and a cellar.
Estate agents Galbraith Hexham said the farmhouse occupies an elevated position with “far-reaching views” across the surrounding countryside towards the North Pennines and beyond.
The property has a generous garden on the eastern side, enclosed by traditional stone walls. A further paddock to the west, the agents said, “could be incorporated as a back garden.”
A separate stone-built outbuilding adjoining the farmhouse contains the boiler, while a further structure provides coal and log storage.
Land, woodland and farm buildings
The holding includes approximately 211.67 acres of land in a ring-fenced block of predominantly south-facing pasture. According to the estate agents, the ground provides productive grazing and mowing land suited to livestock enterprises.
The soils are described as slowly permeable, seasonally wet acid loamy and clayey soils, supporting permanent pasture across the holding.
Woodland accounts for approximately 5.56 acres. It consists of mature conifer plantations established as shelter belts, providing natural screening and protection across the farm.
The farm buildings include a traditional stone range, a Dutch barn, two large livestock sheds, a lean-to, covered sheep pens, a tin shed and a polytunnel. Galbraith said the buildings offer “the opportunity for alternative uses, subject to obtaining the relevant consents.”

Lords Lot is in a rural setting in South Northumberland, approximately six miles south of the historic market town of Hexham. The town provides primary and secondary schools, independent and national retailers, leisure facilities, cafés, restaurants, Hexham Abbey and Hexham General Hospital.
