House in County Durham

A delightful and stylish detached cottage situated in an enviable location, a stone s throw from Barnard Castle s bustling high street (0.5 miles). The market town of Barnard Castle is a real gem, situated in the unspoilt countryside of Teesdale in County Durham. It stands on the site of an ancient Roman fort which crosses the river and offers fantastic independent shops, pubs and cafes, as well as a weekly market and stunning walks along the River Tees. A short walk from the cottage is the impressive Bowes Museum (1 mile), with its colourful collection of European art. Nearby attractions include Egglestone Abbey (2 miles), Egglestone Hall and its walled gardens (7 miles), the historic Raby Castle (8 miles) and the breathtaking High Force England's highest waterfall (15 miles). Why not visit the historic market town of Richmond (15 miles) or the northern Dales village of Reeth (13 miles) for a slice of Yorkshire life? The beautiful city of Durham (25 miles) and its magnificent cathedral are also well worth a visit. This tastefully furnished detached stone cottage offers castle views from the front of the cottage and convenient parking to the rear. Step inside the inviting accommodation, hang up your coat and make yourself at home. The kitchen is generously equipped with all the essentials so you can create a lovely family meal with produce from the local farm shops or market. Once the food is ready, gather around the table to plan your next adventure. Venture into the lounge, a relaxing place to unwind in the evening on the comfortable sofas and watch family favourites on the Smart TV. There s also a convenient ground floor cloakroom and WC. When sleep calls, climb the stairs to find two lovely bedrooms, the first being a king size bedroom with plenty of storage space as well as glimpses of the castle from the window. The second bedroom is a single room with an additional pull out single bed great for children. The first floor is complete by a modern family bathroom with a bath with shower over and WC.
