Take two beloved canine pals along to this pretty property tucked away down a private lane on the owner's equestrian centre – ideal for couple, friend and family holidays overlooking the Durham countryside. Situated in the small Weardale village of Sunniside, you are in the heart of the Durham Dales and less than 10 miles from the edge of the North Pennines. Surrounded by picturesque countryside, there are walks from the front door. Nearby, historic Durham (9 miles) beckons with its stunning cathedral and quaint streets lined with plenty of four-paws-friendly eateries and Wharton Park for a run around.
A delightful barn conversion offering a haven of warmth, comfort, and tranquillity with its spacious open-plan layout, seamlessly blending kitchen, dining, and living areas. The contemporary kitchen boasts plenty of appliances, inviting you to cook up a storm. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining area with its cosy ambience, the perfect spot for sharing a delicious meal. You can sink into the plush sofas in the living area while your hounds sleep at your feet: unwind with your favourite book or watch the latest blockbuster on the Smart TV. Two spacious bedrooms – a double and a twin – provide ample storage areas and offer a restful night's sleep. Outside, to the rear of the property is a private enclosed patio, a peaceful oasis where you can sip your morning brew taking in the fresh country air. During warmer months, fire up the BBQ and indulge in al fresco dining.
Let your pups take the lead as you explore Hardwick Park (17.5 miles), complete with designated dog exercise areas so your hounds can have a good run. Bowlees Visitor Centre (23 miles) has something for all ages, where you can walk to visit Gibson’s Cave. For pups who never leave a stick unfetched, head to Hamsterley Forest (17.5 miles), a 5,000-acre oasis of discovery.
