Burnopfield
Durham
Bijou, beautifully renovated former paper mill in the heart of the Derwent Valley. Ideal for couples(with room for a travel cot or child's bed). This charming detached stone building, nestled in woodland, dates back to the mid 1700's and is perfectly placed for exploring the Derwent and Tyne Valley,and the cities of Newcastle (10 miles) and Durham. With easy access to Beamish Museum, Tanfield Railway, Hadrians Wall and the well known market towns of Hexham and neighbouring Corbridge, with their art galleries, cafes and host of country shops.
Half a mile down a small woodland track, this unusual stone mill renovation will suit nature lovers and style lovers alike. A real rustic bolthole, its tranquil woodland setting means that guests might sit in the conservatory and watch a deer in the woods or a red kite flying above and it is only half a mile from the famous Derwent Walk which takes ramblers the length of the valley. Internally the renovation has been completed with attention to detail to the highest standards by the owners who live in the neighbouring property.

You enter through a glazed sitting area into a spacious open-plan living/dining and kitchen. Oak flooring runs the length of the ground floor accommodation.

The painted kitchen has been handmade and boasts a large ceramic butler style sink, fitted ceramic hob, oven and dishwasher, freestanding fridge/freezer and washer/dryer. There is a dining table to seat up to 4 with Seagrass chairs .
The staircase leads up to the bedroom area with dual aspect windows, white painted furniture, bespoke wardrobes fitted to the eaves, painted in subtle tones and a grand feature king-sized bed.
A contemporary style bathroom leads off the bedroom with a large double-ended bath and free-standing shower cubicle.
Double doors from the conservatory to a patio with outdoor furniture and barbecue, gravelled and planted area and cobbled parking space.
