A magnificent Grade II listed detached manor house, set in a stunning walled garden circa 0.6 acres in the centre of Wooler and adjacent to the 18th century St. Ninian's Roman Catholic Church - the impressive six bedroom house, circa 1780, has extensive accommodation set over three floors (5955 sq.ft) and offers versatile reception and leisure space, currently a family home and historically a Bed & Breakfast Guest house.

Fairfield Hall, built in stone with a slate roof, has an imposing double fronted facade, and is approached via a stone pillared & gated entrance to a large gravelled driveway area, within the historic perimeter walls to the grounds. The beautiful south facing walled garden is set to the front of the house, lawned with a mature orchard, patio terrace seating areas, large greenhouse and outbuildings - to the rear of the house is a further enclosed courtyard area, accessed via separate gated access, with a large double length store/outbuilding.

The former Presbytery to St. Ninian's RC Church, is Grade II listed along with the garden wall & gate piers and has retained a number of original features including; attractive stone steps to the front with railings, leading up to a 6 panelled door with side lights and an elliptical fanlight with Adam style tracery, twelve pane sash windows with shutters and tripartite windows to the rear, original internal panel doors and moulded ceiling cornice.

The period house, a family home for the current owners for over 20 years, has seen an extensive programme of refurbishment and upgrading that includes the removal of the former render of the Hall to expose the beautiful original stonework, the re-pointing of the main house, stone boundary walls internally and externally, along with roof works. The gardens have been landscaped with seating areas created for outside dining and entertaining, the former garage reconstructed in stone as a useful workshop/store lending itself to a variety of uses and new gates added to the rear driveway entrance.
Internally, there is a superb handmade kitchen with beautiful bespoke full floor to ceiling cabinets, a new gas boiler fitted in January 2025, and the whole of the lower ground floor has been refurbished and reconfigured, creating a large laundry room, a wine room, gym and shower room, TV room, a library and snooker room.
