Key features of the three-storey establishment include its "welcoming" bar and lounge area with adjoining dining room, ten en-suite guest bedrooms, a "versatile" function room, allocated parking, "generous" rear terrace with outdoor seating and its "prime" market town location in Hadrian's Wall Country.

"Steeped in history and positioned at the very heart of Haltwhistle, The Manor House Inn is a long-established coaching inn that today combines the atmosphere of a traditional pub with the comforts of a ten-bedroom guesthouse and the appeal of an established restaurant and bar," said the agent.

"Internally, the inn reveals a sequence of welcoming spaces that accommodate the needs of a modern operation. The entrance hall, with its flagged floors, exposed timbers and traditional detailing, leads through to the dining room, a generous setting for hosting, anchored by a stone fireplace and exposed beams.

"The adjoining bar and lounge area offers an inviting, informal atmosphere, while a function room beyond provides further capacity for events and gatherings. The commercial kitchen, utility spaces and extensive stores are all well-appointed to support the smooth running of the business.

"The upper floors are arranged as ten en-suite bedrooms, offering flexible guest accommodation. Individually presented, these rooms balance comfort with character, featuring sash windows, thoughtful decorative touches and modern en-suite bathrooms with a mix of baths and showers. Their configuration and scale provide scope for continuation of the existing business or, subject to consents, adaptation for other potential uses.

"To the rear, a generous terrace and beer garden provide outdoor seating, well-placed to capture footfall from visitors returning from the nearby walking trails. Enclosed outdoor seating areas provide space for both casual drinks and more organised gatherings. Four allocated parking spaces are available for the use of the inn, accessed via a right of way, with the land itself remaining in third-party ownership."
