Shortridge Hall, Warkworth

Shortridge Hall is a magnificent Grade II Listed hall located in an idyllic situation combining both rural and coastal views. The property, which was acquired by the current owners in 2002, was built in 1898 by W.L. Newcombe of Newcastle for Mr. R. Deuchar, a local brewer and property speculator.

The property is constructed of squared stone with ashlar dressings, under a graduated Lakeland slate roof and has undergone extensive refurbishment in recent years, extending to approximately 1,528m2 (16,447ft2). The sympathetic renovation combines high quality fixtures and fittings with traditional features throughout.

The original character has been retained with panelled wooden doors, wooden floors, ornate cornicing and French windows. The windows to the ground floor have glazed top lights emblazoned with the Deuchar arms and motto “Verus ad Finem” which continue the history of this fabulous property.
