About this property
The Tiny Home is a welcoming shepherd’s hut resting in High Leven, Durham, offering a thoughtfully designed escape with a hot tub, outdoor decking, and a well-planned open‑plan living space. Perfect for couples or small groups seeking something a little different, this compact retreat blends characterful design with modern convenience in a peaceful village setting. Step inside to discover an inviting open‑plan living area where the kitchen and sitting space flow seamlessly together. Natural light filters through the space, creating a bright atmosphere for slow mornings with a coffee or relaxed evenings after a day of exploring. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing simple meals, while the sitting area provides a snug spot to unwind and plan the next adventure.
A contemporary shower room sits on the ground floor, offering a refreshing space to start or end the day. Climb up to the two mezzanine double bedrooms, tucked neatly above the living space. These elevated sleeping areas add a sense of novelty and make clever use of the hut’s layout, creating a unique place to retreat once the day draws to a close. Outside, the decking becomes a natural extension of the living space. Sink into the bubbling hot tub under open skies, enjoy a quiet drink in the fresh air, or simply take in the calm surroundings of the Durham countryside.
