The Experience

Once home to William Hedley, creator of Puffing Billy, the house has masses of room to spread out, with several living areas (snug, piano and library room, billiard room, dining room, drawing room – some with open fires, all with comfy seating) plus a large kitchen with a sofa for chatterers. Find stone-flagged floors, wide windows and all the kit you might need to cook up a storm, but a chef can be hired if you prefer.

Bedrooms (four huge ones with en suite bathrooms on the first floor and two slightly smaller up in the attic sharing a bathroom, but with a games room and their own little kitchen) have sumptuous fabrics, glorious countryside views and a grand feel.

Step out to smooth lawns, a dining pavilion, walled garden, orchard and woodlands, all bathed in birdsong and faultless for long summer evening walks, games, barbecues, picnics. Bring your dog – there’s a super outdoor bath just for them and they’ll adore the countryside.

We think you'll love

  • Spending time together but also have the space to escape – the attic is perfect for teenagers and older children
  • Having so much to do in the house if the weather is poor – play snooker and other games, watch a film, read a book by a roaring fire
  • The great outdoors and being surrounded by so much nature – sit around the large firepit and watch the stars come out

Reviews

To stay here in a private group will give everyone a chance to be together and also have some splendid solitude or paired time. There’s plenty of space to breathe and enjoy the sheer splendour of country house living. I love how each room has its own character and feel, its own view. You will feel delighted, relaxed and special in this hidden gem just six miles from the university city of Durham.

Location

The neighbourhood

You have your own 15 acres for endless walks, but you're near to Northumberland for castles and beaches, Teesdale with its magnificent waterfalls, and Durham for a spot of culture, eating out or shopping. Durham Cathedral (Cuddy's resting place) is stunning – book a tour to make the most of it and climb the 325 steps to the top of the central tower for gorgeous views.
