The impressive kitchen/diner is stylish and generously equipped, complete with a feature spiral staircase and a breakfast bar for those leisurely mornings sipping coffee and planning your day. Two of the bedrooms are tucked on the ground floor along with a shower room, and the master bedroom upstairs has vaulted ceilings and a superb bathroom. Outside, the garden is a wonderful space on sunny afternoons.

Home to the Kynren festival, Bishop Auckland, 5.5 miles away, is brimming with independent shops alongside a castle, a 150-acre deer park and several art galleries and museums to tempt visitors of all interests. For those who are looking to reconnect with nature, the North Pennines are a beautiful place to explore with your waggy-tailed companion, starting at the southern gateway of Middleton-in-Teesdale, 15.5 miles away.
