Located in a peaceful hamlet within the grounds of the former Derwent Valley Railway Station, this semi-detached holiday home offers direct access to the popular Derwent Walk right from the garden. Perfect for families, friends, and dog walkers, the cottage provides breathtaking viaduct views and is ideally positioned for exploring the region. Local amenities are less than 2 miles away in Rowlands Gill, while attractions like Gibside Hall (3 miles), Beamish Living Museum (7 miles), Newcastle's vibrant Quayside (10 miles), and the historic city of Durham (15 miles) are all within easy reach.
Access is via a farm-style track, and while internet is available, it can be intermittent due to the rural location, perfect for those looking to disconnect and enjoy the tranquil countryside setting. Step inside to find a welcoming hallway before entering the light and airy lounge with wood flooring, comfortable seating, and an electric wood-burner style heater creating a cosy atmosphere. The kitchen/diner features everything needed for holiday cooking, including an electric oven and hob, built-in microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher, with a dining table perfect for sociable meals. A conservatory provides another relaxing space with lovely garden views. The sleeping arrangements are spread across both floors, with a ground-floor double bedroom and spacious en-suite shower room (with washer/dryer), while upstairs you'll find a pretty twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room.
Outside, the enclosed garden features a patio area ideal for al fresco dining and a section of the original station platform, creating a unique space to enjoy visiting birds and garden views. There's convenient off-road parking for one car on the driveway plus an additional allocated space in front of the property.
