Hexham House, Gilesgate
Hexham House is a Grade II* Listed Building Link
Built in 1723 to the north of Hexham Abbey grounds, Hexham House was surrounded by perimeter walkways and picturesque woodland paths.
In 1928, having been extended on either side, it was bought by the former Hexham Urban District Council and the grounds were opened to the public.
In more recent years, it has served the town as a base for council staff in the days of Tynedale District Council as well as the county council.
After lying empty for several years since it was vacated in 2012, and failing to attract a private purchaser, it has now been subject to a £1.5m redevelopment by Compass Developments NE Ltd. on behalf of Northumberland County Council to provide a Registry Office, wedding venue, and 7 luxury holiday apartments.
