Embleton Hall

Built in 1730 by Thomas Embleton, it was later bought by the Fenwick family in 1780.^[1] An extension to the east of the building is also from the 18th century as is a further extension which was added in 1893.^{[clarification needed][2]} It remained in the Fenwick Family until it was acquired by Trevor Thorne, a former banker, and his wife in 1986,^[3] who turned it into a small hotel.^[3][4] There was also a restaurant serving lunchtime food.^[5] It was then bought by a couple from Tynemouth in 2013 for £875,000, with the Thornes continuing to live in the stable block.^[6]

The building was listed as a Grade II listed building in October 1953.^[2]

The two-storey stone building has slate roofs. The five-bay old house which now forms the west wing has rusticated quoins and pilasters and a frieze at the doorway. There are sash windows. The west front, which now forms the entrance, has a projecting porch with a pediment.^[2] The interior includes panelling in some of the rooms and stone or marble fireplaces.^[2]

The house stands within 5 acres (2.0 ha) of grounds including deciduous woodland. It also has a tennis court.^[7]
