Set on a working farm on the outskirts of Byers Green village, this converted barn offers a peaceful rural retreat just half a mile from local amenities. With countryside walks, cycle trails, and fishing opportunities in the River Wear right from your doorstep, there's plenty to explore. The historic city of Durham with its magnificent cathedral is less than 9 miles away, while Auckland Castle, Raby Castle, and the immersive Beamish Museum provide memorable day trips. From July to September, the spectacular Kynren open-air show is a must-see attraction during your stay.
Step inside this single-level holiday home to discover a spacious entrance area perfect for storing outdoor gear after countryside rambles. The bright, airy open-plan living space features exposed beams, high ceilings, and abundant natural light. The kitchen includes an electric hob/oven, fridge, dishwasher, and microwave, while a separate utility room houses the washing machine. Relax in the cosy lounge area with comfortable sofas and a Smart TV, or gather around the dining table with views across the surrounding countryside. Four bedrooms provide flexible options for your stay, two king-size rooms (one with an en-suite shower and WC), one double, and one twin ideal for younger guests, complemented by a family bathroom with bath, shower, and WC.
Outside, a private enclosed garden overlooks lush green pastureland, offering the perfect spot for family barbecues on warm summer evenings. Garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ are provided for alfresco dining, while the farm setting with sheep and cattle adds to the authentic rural experience. Ample off-street parking is available directly at the property, and families will appreciate the thoughtful inclusion of a travel cot and highchair. Dog owners are welcome to bring up to two pets to enjoy countryside walks together during your stay, though please note they are charged at £20 each per week.
