  • A charming, newly refurbished for 2023, three storey townhouse

Property code: 92351

Bring together friends and family in this spacious townhouse in the attractive town of Alston. The property is in the heart of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the surrounding, heather-clad landscape is a paradise for dog walkers. The historic market town of Penrith is 20 miles away and the majestic Ullswater is within 30 miles. After a long dog walk, relax in the cute, enclosed courtyard with a glass of wine.

The elegant, three-storey townhouse has been beautifully renovated, combining original features with contemporary design. On the ground floor, you’ll find a stylish, open-plan lounge/diner with sumptuous sofas and a wood burner-effect electric fire creating the perfect dozing spot for your canine chums. There’s also a wooden dining table for hosting dinner parties and family celebrations. A separate kitchen houses everything you need for a self-catering break and ample space for the dog beds. The first floor is home to two inviting bedrooms and a family bathroom and on the top floor, you’ll find two further bedrooms and a shower room. The outside courtyard is fully enclosed, so the woofers can happily potter around whilst you dine in the sunshine.

Take a stroll with the pups around the cobbled streets of Alston, admiring the historic buildings and picking up local specialities – such as some delicious Alston cheese – from the cute artisan shops. The South Tynedale Railway starts in the town, and you and the hounds can ride the heritage steam locomotives through the picturesque South Tyne Valley. There are some fabulous walks in the area, including Ashgill Force waterfall (5 miles) – a cool, shady spot that’s perfect on a summer’s day. Further afield, enjoy a day trip to Ullswater, where you can ride on the iconic steamers or join the Ullswater Way.
