Also pick up footpaths and trails close to the house, including the 12-mile Lanchester Valley Way and the 5-mile Lanchester Roman Walk circular walk, which crosses the site of Longovicium Roman Fort.

Let yourselves into the inviting, open-plan kitchen/dining room and put the kettle on to enjoy a cup of tea with a stottie cake you have bought on a trip out. Find everything you need to prepare holiday meals for your party with your own ingredients, as well as a Smart TV and a wine fridge. Dine in here or set the table through in the conservatory/dining room for special, celebratory meals. Find you have a choice of lounges, each with a Smart TV, to spread out into. Also at ground-floor level, are a play bedroom for children, a WC and a utility room, with a washing machine and dryer.
