Description
The Old Sawmill is a beautiful house resting in Burnopfield, Durham, offering ample off-road parking with EV charging, a private enclosed garden, and a woodburning stove that adds character to evenings indoors.
Well-suited to larger families or groups, this generous property balances sociable living with flexible sleeping arrangements across its four bedrooms.
Step inside to discover a kitchen/diner that forms the heart of the home, where meals can be prepared and shared while plans for the day unfold, with a Smart TV adding an extra layer of convenience.
The sitting room invites relaxed gatherings, centred around the woodburning stove, while a pool table introduces a playful element for downtime together.
The ground floor also hosts a spacious family bedroom with its own en-suite, making it ideal for mixed-age groups.
Upstairs, three further double bedrooms each benefit from their own en-suite facilities, including one with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower, creating a sense of privacy throughout the house.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden becomes a natural extension of the living space, with a lawn, patio, hot tub, and pizza oven setting the scene for long afternoons and evenings outdoors.
Burnopfield itself offers everyday ease, with a shop and pub just a short walk away.
Close by, Rowlands Gill provides access to woodland walks and the popular National Trust Gibside estate, known for its landscaped grounds and historic features.
The Causey Arch, set within scenic woodland, is another nearby highlight, drawing walkers and photographers alike.
A short drive leads to Stanley, where Beamish Open-Air Museum offers immersive family-friendly days out, while Newcastle upon Tyne sits within reach for museums, shopping, and dining when city life calls.
After full days exploring the area, return to The Old Sawmill to enjoy space and time together.

What guests are saying
The Old Sawmill was amazing it catered so well for a large group.
The house and garden are gorgeous, everything you need and every room was a wow. The hosts were great and we had a brilliant weekend of relaxation
The Old Sawmill is ideal for a multi-geneartional family holiday.
Interior accommodation is to a high standard, with a spacious kitchen/dining area and similar sized lounge. Ample parking. Amazing hot tub. Two points for owners to consider: 1.the outdoor paving requires attention 2.the access is a shared drive (not made clear, new owners of next door moved in during our stay and removal lorry had to block entry/exit as could not reverse in).
The house was beautiful, it was comfortable, in a great location, it was clean and had pretty much everything needed for your stay.
Highly recommend this gorgeous home to anyone, the owners did a little welcome basket too which is such a nice touch, there were shops 1 minute walk away with a nice bakery. A massive country park about 20 mins drive as well as The Angel Of The North a similar distance. The hot tub was great and the log burner inside is a nice extra, I would imagine it would be lovely in the winter. The only negative I would give is that the beds upstairs are doubles and can be a little snug if your used to sleeping on a king at home and the front bedroom is quite noisy with traffic but I wear ear plugs so it didn’t effect me. The bathrooms are absolutely stunning and the toilet downstairs has some special features ;-). Don’t hesitate and get it booked is all I will say.
