Tucked away in
Corbridge
A former family workshop, now a quiet place to stay among the trees.
Close the gate.
Make it yours.
The workshop opens up to exposed whitewashed roof trusses and a bespoke kitchen.
Everything considered.
The Old Workshop belongs to Sally and Tim, the people behind Dockleaf Developments. They brought the same thinking here: good materials, proper joinery and clever use of space.
Two private en-suites positioned at opposite ends of the workshop, giving everyone space of their own.
You don’t have to do anything.
You can just switch off.

The playroom that stayed
Upstairs, the original playroom has been kept almost as it was, with its road-pattern floor and Joe’s Garage still in place. It’s now a playful space for younger guests, overlooking the living room below.
Roman Corbridge
Known to the Romans as Coria, Corbridge supplied the forts along Hadrian’s Wall.
Today, Corbridge and the Wall are close by, with Hexham Abbey a little further west.
A 3rd-century Roman beaker, found in a rubbish pit at Corbridge and decorated with a hound chasing a deer.
