A Northumberland millionaire is selling his £16m country estate and giving every penny of the proceeds to charity. Brian Burnie is open to offers for the Doxford Hall Hotel and its 10 acre estate near Alnwick. He hopes to use the profits from the sale to establish and pay for a Macmillan cancer nurse for north Northumberland.
