They say: Impressive country house, extensively remodelled and refurbished to provide a luxurious family home in a fabulous coastal location. Marsden Hall blends modern and old, contemporary and period. You could commute to Newcastle, 10 miles away
We say: On the market since last summer. The price has recently been cut from £1.5m. An unusual location for a statement country house, but it might tempt a Geordie footballer
