Offering an appealing blend of old and new, this end-terrace cottage in County Durham’s delightful countryside has been lovingly updated to create an exceptional retreat for couples or small families. Set in West Blackdene, a tranquil hamlet with the River Wear gently tumbling past the property, the stone-built cottage sits directly on the long-distance Weardale Way and close to the C2C Cycle Route – inviting you to explore the North Pennines designated National Landscape on foot or by bike. For local amenities, head to St. John's Chapel (1.5 miles) and Stanhope (9 miles), a bustling market town where you can also board the Weardale Railway, an 18-mile heritage line stretching from Bishop Auckland (24 miles) to Eastgate (6 miles), showcasing beautiful scenery along the way. Further afield, attractions include High Force waterfall (9 miles) and the characterful towns of Middleton-in-Teesdale, (13 miles), Barnard Castle (23 miles) and the fabulous Raby Castle, Park and Gardens (26.5 miles). Expertly renovated with care and attention, this traditional cottage preserves plenty of original features while offering all the modern comforts of home. Enter through the stable door into the modern, farmhouse-style kitchen, where shaker cabinets, a deep Belfast sink and rustic details add country charm. From here, step into the lounge/diner, where plump cushioned sofas are set around the wood burner in the original stone fireplace – the perfect cosy spot when evenings turn chilly. A Smart TV offers easy entertainment for relaxed nights in. Upstairs, two inviting bedrooms – one king-size and one double – both boast river views to wake up to each morning. A stylish family bathroom completes this floor, featuring a walk-in shower and a luxurious free-standing bath. Tucked into the eaves, a final snug space with comfortable seating and a desk offers a quiet spot to unwind or catch up on work. Outside, a bench and a folding table are set at the front of the property, alongside parking for one car in the shared parking area. Sit with a morning coffee or evening sundowner, listening to birdsong and the gentle trickle of the river as you soak up the peace of this idyllic location.
