Step back into the past in a beautifully restored 17th Century weaver's house in Barnard Castle's conservation area. The river Tees flows 50m away and yet the cottage is just a few minutes from local shops and restaurants.
 
Accommodation The house has enormous character with old beams, panelling, cast iron fireplaces, flagstone floor and pine doors. You can enjoy the open fire in the kitchen/diner and relax in the secluded patio garden. Both double bedrooms have their own en-suite bathroom. The rooms are full of antiques and books, and there is a sherry decanter and other little touches that will help you to unwind and switch off. Please note that the resident ghost is only visible to children. Location - Barnard Castle has the world famous Bowes Museum (French Chateau design), a 12th century castle ruin (English Heritage), the ruins of Egglestone Abbey and other stately homes and historic buildings nearby.
- Many of the houses are Georgian or earlier and the little back lanes have not changed much for centuries.
- The town is an excellent base for walking (on the Teesdale Way and close to the Pennine Way), fishing, canoeing, and visiting antique and other individual shops in the town.
- You also have easy access to the Lake District (1 hour), York (75 mins.), Durham City (45 mins.), Beamish Museum (75 mins.) and to the Yorkshire and Durham Dales.
