What you will love about this home

Our house is an old period house built pre 1700's and used to be the village pub. Our garage used to be the village petrol station & the Barn in the garden used to be the village chapel & so the house comes with lots of history.

The Barn that is a separate building to the main home in the garden is now used as separate living quarters which we rent out or can be part of the exchange if agreed. We have a playroom at the end of the barn in the garden which we have converted to a large play room with pool table and bed settee, toilet & surround sound TV for watching films & playing on the play station.

The main house has the lounge, dining room, toilet, utility room & kitchen on the ground floor. The kitchen consists of all modern western appliances, fridge / freezer, fan forced oven, utility room with washer & dryer, microwave, and large dining table. The kitchen leads onto patio doors to the patio in the garden.
The 1st floor has 2 double & 1 single bedroom all with ensuites.
The top floor has the Master bedroom, bathroom & dressing room.

The back garden is large with pond, and garden house for outdoor eating. There are plenty of garden furniture & BBQ & outdoor fire. The house has central heating throughout, driveway for 1 car & garage full of bicycles & children’s outdoor toys, sports equipment, outdoor table tennis stored in the garage.

We are happy to car swap too - we have an electric Vauxhall Mocha.

We have had 8 successful house swaps - Spain, London, Croatia,Bali and Florida USA and can give you their email addresses for good references. We will take care of your home as if it was our own. We also love pets & so we are happy to look after yours. We have a cat which would require feeding if possible or our neighbour is happy to look after her.

Durham is a small university city in the North East of England, UK. The city is small with a cathedral, castle, river, lovely walks & the coast is only a 20min drive away. Newcastle which is a major city is only a 10min train journey away & the historic city of York only a 40 minute train ride away. Edinburgh is 2hr train journey, London 3hr train journey.

Durham City is full of restaurants & is well catered for tourists & is a very safe city.

It takes an hour to drive to Northumberland where you can find gorgous remote beaches such as Crastor and SeaHouses. Alnwich is worth a visit with the gardens and castle where Harry Potter learned to fly on his broomstick.

Beamish outdoor museum is only a 20 min drive where you step back into thenVictorian era.
