Described in Pevsner’s Architecture of Northumberland as “a late 18th Century House built to a good quality with close fronted stonework and hipped roofs, its main feature being a central round headed stair window to the south frontage and a larger arched recess,” Newton Low Hall is indeed a charming Grade II property. Well maintained by its current owners, the building still retains many beautiful period features including working shutters, ornate cornicing and feature fireplaces.
