Additional Notes

Large house known as Shoreston Hall, which lies to the north of Seahouses. The property has evolved in an ad-hoc manner over time and now comprises of a number of elements that are in varying conditions. The existing structures on the site include the main hall, an adjacent single storey building ('The Office'), a glasshouse/potting shed ('The Potting Shed'), and a detached garden room ('The Crow's Nest'). The hall itself is not listed but the gate piers and railings are. An application was permitted to provide 8 new homes on the site (7 net additions) in April 2025 (23/04329/FUL). The works comprise the conversion of the main hall not 5 flats, and then the conversion of 'The Potting Shed', 'The Crows Nest', and 'The Office' into 3-bed houses. Works yet to commence, but the overall scheme is considered deliverable in the coming five years.
