The Old Powerhouse - Plawsworth near Durham

The Property

Durham 3.5 miles. A delightful detached cottage, nestling in the owners’ 3 acres of beautiful landscaped gardens, in the scattered rural hamlet of Plawsworth, under 4 miles from Durham city centre. Originally this Plawsworth cottage was a power house supplying Southill Hall with electricity, but has now been lovingly restored to provide first class accommodation, and a perfect romantic retreat. This Plawsworth cottage is luxuriously appointed throughout, with a mezzanine level double bedroom overlooking the main sitting area, and a compact ground floor room with adult bunks. The lovely ground floor sitting area has a stripped wooden floor and sumptuous, comfortable sofas. The small but well-equipped kitchen area has everything you could require to rustle up a delicious gourmet meal. To the rear of this cottage in Plawsworth there is a decked area with table, chairs and BBQ, an ideal spot for chilling out and taking in the countryside with only the rabbits, owls and the occasional pheasant to disturb you. This Plawsworth cottage is in a brilliant location for discovering south Northumberland, just a 4 mile drive to Durham city with its cathedral and castle, and 3 miles to the Roman town of Chester-le-Street. A little further afield there are many exciting day trips to Beamish Museum, the Durham Dales, Newcastle upon Tyne, Hadrian’s Wall, the Heritage Coastline, Cragside at Rothbury and the North Yorkshire Moors. With easy access to the A1 yet in a peaceful location, you couldn’t find a better spot for relaxing than this cosy Plawsworth cottage.
