About this property
Enjoying panoramic views across the heart of the rolling County Durham countryside, this truly quirky converted boat is the ultimate romantic retreat, ideal for couples keen to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Known as the gateway to Weardale, the market town of Crook (2.5 miles) centres around a designated conservation area and boasts a selection of shops and a weekly market that showcases some of this area’s best local produce. Keen outdoor explorers can explore the surrounding Weardale, which sits in the North Pennines, a unique landscape of peaceful moors and river walks awaits. Sitting at the heart of Durham's World Heritage Site, dive into hundreds of years of history with a guided tour of the magnificent Durham Castle, 12 miles away, before heading into the city centre to stroll beside the river.
Brimming with extra-special homely touches and boasting wonderfully bold hues that perfectly complement the colours of your surroundings, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/sleeping layout of this bolthole embraces the stunning local landscape. The curved ceiling exudes character, whilst the lovely picture windows flood the space with natural sunlight and frame magnificent views; enjoy the enchanting scenery from the comfort of the plush armchair after rustling up something delicious in the quaint kitchenette. The cosy double bed, tucked away in its own quiet spot at the back of the living space, beckons tired travellers at the end of a busy day’s exploration. The TV is ideally positioned for lazy morning lie-ins and late-night films. Stylish and sophisticated, the contemporary shower room provides everything you need to kick-start a new day’s adventure.
Soak up your rolling countryside views on the decked balcony, which features a glass balustrade that maximises your delightful views, the perfect spot for al fresco dining with your morning coffee. There is private parking available for one car.
