About this property
The middle of three beautiful farm conversions, nestled in a quiet spot in the pretty countryside, this charming property offers a wealth of beautiful places to explore on established footpaths and cycle routes, and further afield by car. Walk to the pub for a drink, while nearby Bishop Auckland, home of the annual Kynren spectacle, offers supermarkets, shops and restaurants. Buy local produce from the weekly farmers market in historic Barnard Castle with more great amenities. Enjoy miles of beautiful walking and cycling trails in Hamsterley Forest, visit the bird sanctuary or try fly fishing at Witton Castle and head to Raby Castle for a stroll amongst grazing deer. Visit family at the university in the nearby cathedral city of Durham. Walk through the gate into the enclosed patio area and step into the open plan kitchen/diner; there are a couple of bar stools where you can sit with your morning coffee and listen to the radio. You can relax in the kitchen while preparing your meals using the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. There is a dining table and seating for six to enjoy your meals together and sit with maps and guidebooks planning your days out.
