Items from a recently-sold Northumberland Georgian country house designed by eminent North East architect John Dobson have been auctioned.
Meldon Park in the Wansbeck valley near Morpeth was built in 1832 for the Cookson family and has been their home for seven generations. The 10-bedroom hall, listed grade II-star, together with its Dobson-designed listed stable block and 36 acres of parkland, was placed on the market by James Cookson and wife Emily.
Estate agents Savills listed the property at £3.5m and it has been sold as a private residence. Around 150 lots from Meldon have been auctioned at Jim Railton’s Wooler auction rooms this weekend, with a similar number in another sale on March 20.
