Situated between the Lake District and Northumberland National Parks, County Durham, and the North Pennines AONB, this appealing holiday home is perfectly placed for exploring not one, but four magnificent counties. Just 4 miles away, the country’s highest market town, Alston, offers a wealth of northern English charm, complete with ancient architecture, winding streets and expansive moorland rich in wildlife and diverse flora. The famous Pennine Way runs directly through the town, presenting endless opportunities for cross-country adventure, and guests can easily choose a section of the route to explore the surrounding countryside. From here, journey towards Dufton (18.5 miles), heading over Cross Fell (11 miles) along the way. Hartside Pass, just 10 miles away, is a challenging yet rewarding destination for walkers and cyclists, boasting sweeping views across the Solway Firth to Scotland from its elevated vantage point.
Beautiful décor has been thoughtfully used throughout this limestone cottage, blending traditional farmhouse charm with sweet features and elegant furnishings. Despite its classic character, the kitchen offers a contemporary finish, complete with modern fixtures and all the appliances needed to cater for the group. From here, step into the separate dining room, a welcoming space to gather and raise a glass at mealtimes, before moving through to the inviting lounge. Designed for slow mornings and restful evenings, the lounge features soft seating arranged around a wood burner and a Smart TV, creating the perfect spot for relaxed conversation, music or a cosy movie night. Completing the ground floor is the first of four bedrooms, a lovely king-size room located beside a wet-room-style shower room. Upstairs, you’ll find the remaining accommodation, including three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. These bedrooms comprise a super-king-size, an additional king-size and a double, each thoughtfully styled with its own unique character.
Outside, follow the sun around the house and make the most of outdoor spaces at both the front and rear. The enclosed, courtyard-style garden to the rear offers plenty of seating for relaxed outdoor moments, while the front garden is laid to lawn, providing space for children and pets to play freely.
