About this property
Resting in the charming market town of Middleton-in-Teesdale, County Durham in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is Low Thearns. This wonderful, stone-fronted cottage benefits from off-road parking, close proximity to local amenities and two well-appointed bedrooms, perfect for couples, small families or friends looking to explore the surrounding area. Be welcomed by a homely living/dining area where you can warm your feet by the crackling woodburning stove before heading into the fully-equipped kitchen to help whip up tasty meals for the whole group. Gather around the dining table to tuck in or if the sun is shining step outside to indulge in an alfresco affair in the enclosed garden; be sure to pop open a bottle of fizz to toast your retreat. When stars fill the sky, head inside to wash away the day in the ground-floor shower room before choosing between the king-size or ground-floor twin to catch your rest. Low Thearns lies paces away from local convenience stores where you can pick up necessities to help ease your self-catered stay or treat your loved ones to a delicious meal at the Teesdale Hotel or the Forresters Bar and Restaurant. The property lies on the fringes of the North Pennines which is bursting at the seams with a variety of walks and trails including idyllic trails leading to Summerhill Force and Gibson’s Cave, Easter Beck, Cauldrons Snout and the famed High Force Waterfall which drops a dramatic 69 feet. History is woven throughout the encompassing countryside; marvel at Barnard Castle, traverse the ruins of the fabulous Egglestone Abbey or admire the imposing, medieval Raby Castle which houses art and tapestries. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is also easily accessible by a short scenic drive and is home to a myriad of attractions and the iconic three peaks challenge which the brave among you may try to complete! Make unforgettable memories at Low Thearns.
