About this property
This outstanding property is surrounded by the most impressive countryside views just outside the village of Eggleston, six miles from Barnard Castle. With spacious rooms, high quality fixtures and fittings and an external leisure suite, this detached holiday home is ideal for a family or a group of friends looking to discover Teesdale or celebrate a special occasion. The main open plan living area is modern yet homely with high ceilings and feature beams. There is a well-equipped kitchen area, a breakfast bar and a more formal dining area where evening meals can be enjoyed. A comfortable sitting area is set around a woodburning stove and there are high arched windows looking out over the farmland and patio doors which allow you to take meals outside to be enjoyed alfresco. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, both of which have an en-suite wet room, and with wider doors these are perfect for those with limited mobility. The central staircase then takes you up to the first floor where you will find three more bedrooms, each enjoying the breathtaking views, and a second sitting room which is ideal for relaxing in the evening with one of your favourite films or a good book. The second floor has two final bedrooms with sloped ceilings and Velux windows which look out to the hills beyond, a delightful scene to wake up to. Outside there is a lawned garden and a paved patio with a large stone sitting and dining area. There is also the spectacular bonus of an external leisure suite which has a hot tub, sauna and a yoga and pilates studio. Children and adults alike will be in their element as there is also a games room with a pool table, TV and games console. With all this available at the property you may find you never need to leave as these features are perfect no matter what the weather! If you can drag yourself away, walkers will adore this area as footpaths run in every direction and open up miles of countryside that is waiting to be explored. The village of Eggleston is a fantastic base with one local pub and restaurants in the village, which are just 100 yards away, serving home-cooked food, as well as shops being available within 3 miles. Middleton-in-Teesdale and Barnard Castle are nearby and have a host of attractions and facilities.

.all 3 generations were catered for by the available facilities. The welcome treats though unexpected were a lovely thoughtful gesture appreciated by us all ! Everything you could need was available and it was immaculate throughout. We were all really impressed and nobody wanted to leave lol so we are all sorting schedules to return next year for a longer period of time. A credit to the owners who kindly popped in to make sure we were happy with everything not long after we arrived which was also really appreciated. If you are considering this property for your break away all I can say is donât hesitate you will not be disappointed!!
