Escape to this idyllic country retreat on the edge of the village of Talkin, with walking and cycling trails right on the doorstep. It’s ideal for a peaceful getaway for couples, friends or a family wishing to explore the North Pennines, while having a lake, boat hire and tearoom on tap!
This beautiful Victorian property has been lovingly transformed into private residences with stylish and elegant furnishings. Off the hallway is the bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room overlooking the lake, with a striking coal-effect electric fire. This inviting space has a Smart TV, comfortable sofas, and window seats where you can read and enjoy the wonderful view. The contemporary kitchen is separated from the lounge by a chic island and combined with the dining area, provides a space for socialising and catching up on the day's events. Upstairs, there are two bright and spacious bedrooms with views across the lake – a super-king-size and a king-size with an en-suite shower room. Along the hallway is the family bathroom with a TV, so you can watch your favourite programmes while having a relaxing soak! Outside, the private elevated patio area with seating overlooking the shared gardens and lake, is the perfect place to unwind on a fine day.
