Robson Green's idyllic riverside cottage is a fisherman's paradise! Since April 2016, the Grantchester star has been living with his partner, Zoila Brozas, but prior to meeting his girlfriend, the TV star had already discovered his forever home.

In a 2019 interview with The Sunday Times, the actor opened up about his tranquil home in Hexham, Northumberland, which is also where he was born. "In 2012, I moved to a 250-year-old ferryman's cottage at a place called Watersmeet, where the North Tyne and the South Tyne converge," he began.

I think I've got the balance right now." As for his interiors, Robson describes the design as "rustic and minimal."
"In my living room, I have a log-burning fire, three sofas, pictures by local artists and an enormous television with a fantastic sound system," he said. "My nearest neighbour is 650ft away, so I can play Hotel California on my guitar in my underpants."

Zoila, Robson admits, is a far superior cook and has made the most delicious meals for dinner. Describing the open-plan space, Robson revealed that he has handmade oak cupboards as well as four fridges.

"It's spectacular to see them. I also have a telescope because I love gazing into the night sky. In Northumberland, we have some of the darkest skies in Europe."
It's not the first time that Robson has spoken of his home, as well as his love of Northumberland. Chatting to The Mirror in 2021, the father-of-one said: "One of the things Northumberland has which very few places in Great Britain have is space and beauty. You can walk for hours and not see a soul, just the Northumberland National Park."
In a 2016 interview with Reader's Digest, Robson explained that while he's tried to live in cities, he's "never been comfortable" in them. "I find all that concrete too grim," Robson admitted.
