Take the lead and book this accessible barn conversion, carefully designed to suit families or friends looking to explore the North Pennines. Follow scenic walks with evenings in the hot tub as canines play in the enclosed garden, or gather by the wood burner for a cosy night in.
This Grade II-listed cottage features a reverse-level layout to make the most of its fabulous views. Inside, original character blends with modern conveniences to ensure a comfortable stay. Follow your pups straight in to the first floor, where floor-to-ceiling glazing and patio doors draw in natural light and showcase the surrounding scenery. The open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen create a welcoming home from home, with comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a wood burner for cosy evenings with your mutts snuggled nearby. Extensive granite worktops and an array of contemporary appliances, including a microwave and a dishwasher, make cooking easy, and there’s room on the tiled floor for canine bowls. One of the three bedrooms, wheelchair-accessible and featuring a TV and an en-suite shower room, is also located on this level. Downstairs, two further bedrooms, each with TVs and en-suite shower rooms, provide flexible sleeping arrangements, alongside a handy family bathroom. The fabulous garden is a major draw for your four-pawed friends, featuring a lawn where they can spend all evening sniffing and playing. There’s also a spacious patio with furniture for meals in the sunshine, and a hot tub for starlit soaks. Private parking for three cars is another bonus of this excellent property.
