Durham

Tucked away down a leafy lane by the upper reaches
of the River Tees, 'Riverdale Cottage' is a Grade II listed building which
was once a farm stable. This Victorian farm out-building was originally
built around 1860. Then, in 1996, the property was lovingly renovated
to provide a cosy one bedroomed detached cottage with romantic couples
in mind.
Refurbished
to a very high standard, the cottage has a sunny southwest facing lounge
with French doors leading onto the garden, perfect for watching the sun
go down. There's also a fully fitted kitchen/diner, double bedroom
with fitted furniture, new fully tiled bathroom with shower over bath, separate WC
and full central heating and double glazing. Your own off-street
car parking is a real bonus on market day, when being so close to all the
activity means parking is at a premium on Wednesdays and holiday weekends.
Only
a two-minute walk away is the town's bustling Market Place, alive with
the comings and goings of the local Dales folk. Although near the centre
of activity, this cosy cottage is unique in being a haven of peace and
quiet, only yards away from the banks of the River Tees and the medieval
Castle walls. The property has been decorated and furnished to a high
standard with every amenity you could wish for.
The
secluded garden is a real suntrap and is an ideal place to sit out and
watch the sun go down. If you are quiet, squirrels, rabbits and the wild
doves may even come to join you. Walk out to Barnard Castle and you'll
find the centre of Dales life - dozens of pubs, restaurants, museums,
galleries and specialist shops are within a couple of minutes' walk. One minute
in the other direction and you are in Flatts Wood by the banks of the
River Tees - great for walkers and ramblers.
