Tucked away on a working livestock farm near the village of Wolsingham, this delightful barn conversion is full of lovingly preserved original features and comes complete with a cosy wood burner and a private patio garden overlooking the fields beyond. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills and picturesque countryside, enjoy a memorable family retreat to the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, accompanied by one or two furry friends. The cottage exudes rural charm, showcasing exposed stone walls and beamed ceilings. Designed with a reverse-level layout, the first-floor living space offers sweeping views of the surrounding countryside from every angle. The well-equipped kitchen stands ready for you to whip up delicious home-cooked meals and then gather around the dining table, enjoying panoramic views that enhance the dining experience. After dinner, settle into the plush reclining sofa, warmed by the crackling heat of the wood burner with Rover curled up at your feet. When bedtime beckons, descend the stairs and take your pick between a snug double bedroom or a spacious super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom, providing flexible sleeping arrangements to suit your preferences. Outside on the patio, a charming picnic bench invites you to savour your morning coffee while taking in the sight of farm animals grazing nearby. The cottage serves as an ideal launching pad for exploring the region's natural beauty, with fantastic walks right from your doorstep. Within easy reach, the historic Durham City Centre (13 miles) awaits, boasting a magnificent cathedral and streets lined with inviting shops, cafes and pubs, many of which warmly welcome four-legged friends through their doors. Alternatively, explore the rugged coastline of Seaham Beach (26 miles), where playful pups can frolic year-round with no seasonal restrictions.
