About this property
This stone-built cottage sits in an end-terrace location, overlooking the breath-taking countryside of the North Pennines AONB in Cowshill. With a number of scenic walks and cycle paths from your doorstep, 1 Braeside is an ideal spot to base an outdoor adventure break with your friends or family. A delightful porch welcomes you upon arrival, a wonderful place to sit with your morning coffee and enjoy the landscapes nearby. Step through into a homely sitting room with a TV/DVD and a wonderful multi-fuel stove, which makes this country cottage desirable all-year-round. A beautiful and spacious kitchen/diner also lies on the ground floor, boasting rustic stone flooring and glistening, modern units hosting a good range of appliances. A carpeted staircase brings you to the first floor, where you can find a family bathroom as well as two bedrooms. The master king bedroom benefits from an antique dressing table and a fabulous feature fireplace completes the layout delightfully. Cowshill's village pub rests just a short walk away, making an excellent return after a day of trekking the surrounding countryside. St John's Chapel is just over two miles away, benefiting from a couple of pubs, a shop and a café. For a wider range of amenities, head to Stanhope, one of many lovely towns in the area, others include Middleton-in-Tees and Alston. The majestic city of Durham is within driving distance and is certainly worth a visit. A well-located cottage brimming with character.

Loads of walks on doorstep for dog. The walk round reservoir was easy and very scenic. Cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed for a few days away. Wi-Fi and satellite tv was an welcome bonus.

Some weird noises from the hot water system about 530, but otherwise everything was great!
