Perfectly positioned in the village of Soulby, between the North Pennines and the Yorkshire Dales, this modern home is ideal for groups of up to five people. Surrounded by inspiring walking routes, it’s a light-filled home with plenty of space, superb facilities and a wood burner to warm you as you relax after days in the fresh air.
The house blends modern design with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area is its sociable hub, with plush sofas gathered around the TV. The high-quality kitchen (which has both a microwave and a dishwasher) makes catering for a group effortless, whether you’re gathering at the dining table, perched at the kitchen island or taking your food outside. The snug, which features a double-sided wood burner, offers a quiet retreat and has a sofa bed if required. Also on the ground floor are a charming single bedroom and a wet room. A spiral staircase leads up to the first floor, where you’ll have two generous king-size bedrooms: one with a Juliet balcony and cleverly concealed en-suite, the other with stunning views. Completing the interior is a family bathroom. The garden looks out across the river and includes dining areas and a lawn. Dog owners may use the enclosed paddock for exercising, and you’ll have private parking for three cars.
From the door, you can head out on numerous walks, including a riverside footpath to the summit of the Nine Standards and East Gill Force waterfall (13 miles). In Kirkby Stephen, 2.5 miles away, there are excellent options for shopping and eating out, or you could embark on the famous Coast to Coast walking trail. For a day out, the heritage Stainmore Railway is just 3.5 miles away, while both Lammerside Castle and Pendragon Castle are within 7 miles.
