Brian

Much better than expected
This mid terrace house was immaculate and much larger than expected. Open views at front and rear. A house in a very interesting hamlet that was 100 years ago a thriving pit village .... but now one can only see open fields and woods. Good food at a pub a few doors down the road. We enjoyed Beamish and Durham which are less than 10 miles away. The house has a service road in front making parking easy. The play area across the road was suitable for teenage ball games as well as young children.
