Set within the centre of Wolsingham, a delightful town in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Durham, is this stone-built property, Lavender Cottage.
Well-positioned near an array of everyday essentials, and just a stone's throw away from nature-filled attractions, the cottage is an ideal base for a family, sleeping up to three guests and one well-behaved dog.
Parking up on the roadside, venture into the characterful property, displaying original beams and traditional furnishings.
Arriving in the living/dining room, you'll be welcomed by a woodburning stove, perfect to light on those colder nights, along with a TV and DVD player to keep the entire family entertained.
Moving through to the kitchen, prepare your meals and keep on top of your laundry, with all the expected appliances, before setting the table and enjoying a homecooked meal.
Discover the private and secluded garden to the rear of Lavender Cottage, bordered to the rear and one side with dry stone walls and on the other side by three large conifers.
The homestyle interior continues on the first floor, where you'll find two charming bedrooms, both with private en-suite bathrooms, easing your morning routines; a double and a single room will be available, offering somewhere for the entire family to rest and refresh.
Beyond your home-from-home you will find a mix of amenities to benefit from, including evening meals at Buon Appetito, and your favourite tipple at any of the local pubs, whilst your self-catering needs can be fulfilled at the SPAR.
If you are a lover of the outdoors there is plenty to explore including Hamsterley Forest and Spurlswood Beck Waterfall; the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Beauty which is a landscape of moors and hills, valleys and
meandering rivers and streams dotted with picturesque villages and market towns including Barnard Castle and nearby Stanhope.Those with an interest in history will enjoy tours of Brancepeth Castle, Durham's Oriental Museum, and immersive exhibits at the Head of Steam Darlington Railway Museum.
Raby Castle Park and Gardens, Auckland Castle Deer House, and Tees Valley Railway Walk all display the stunning landscapes within the county, from manicured gardens to ever-growing woodlands.
