About this property

Positioned in the heart of the pretty Teesdale village of Staindrop, in rural County Durham, rests this remarkable three-bedroom Grade II listed holiday home, Deanery View. Brimming with an effortless blend of both contemporary and traditional décor, Deanery View makes an excellent base for a family retreat to the country. Marvel at the quaint, stone-built exterior of this lovely abode before stepping over the threshold to begin your staycation. A handy bench seat greets you in the hallway, ideal for taking a seat when unlacing your muddy walking boots following a day of exploration. Moving through the property, be charmed by the sitting room, thoughtfully laid-out with a sumptuous corner sofa and arm chair gathered in front of the warming fire, providing a lovely spot to unwind with a family favourite on the television at the end of an action-packed day.

When stomachs start to rumble, make your way through to the open-plan kitchen/diner, where delightful nautical blue cupboards house a range of conveniences to assist with your self-catering needs; a handy dishwasher helps keep your space neat and tidy. Uncork a bottle of wine and serve up the fruits of your labour at the nearby dining table, or make meal times an alfresco affair by venturing outside for a sociable seat in your private garden. The snug provides the perfect space for little ones to catch up on their favourite shows as the adults soak in the last of the evening sun on the patio.

When the day draws to a close, climb the stairs to the first floor to catch your rest in one of three bedrooms, with the king-size master benefiting from access to it's own en-suite to help beat the morning queues! Completing the property is a convenient ground-floor cloakroom along with a stylish family bathroom, fit with both a bath and an overhead shower, giving guests the choice to indulge in a blissful soak in the bubbles or wake-up with an invigorating rinse. Take advantage of your central location and tuck-in to a delicious meal out at one of the many eateries that rest on your doorstep; fuel the days excursions with a hearty breakfast at The Country Tea Shop & Restaurant or enjoy a well-deserved pint at The Wheatsheaf Inn at the end of a tiring day of exploration.

Those that prefer to dine from the comfort of their holiday home can stock-up at the handy convenience store. Be sure to visit the medieval Raby Castle which is a short walk from Deanery View. It sits just outside the village, steeped in rich heritage dating back to the 14th century and enveloped by a tranquil deer park, Raby Castle makes an idyllic location for a day out. Take the short drive to the bustling market town of Barnard Castle and explore all the town has to offer, boasting a wealth of shops and tea rooms, along with The Bowes Museum and the stunning architecture of Barnard Castle.

The market town of Darlington also sits within easy reach, where visitors can tour the fascinating exhibitions on display at the Head of Steam Railway Museum, wander through the peaceful wetlands of the Drinkfield Marsh Nature Reserve, or catch a live performance of opera, theatre or music at the Darlington Hippodrome. Nestled between the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the North York Moors National Park, you're in an outdoor adventures paradise, with miles of open moorland, ancient woodland and craggy peaks waiting to be explored. Treat your loved ones to a long-overdue escape from reality with a retreat to Deanery View.

Staindrop is a pretty Teesdale village resting amongst the picturesque countryside of County Durham.

    The property is larger than I expected from the photographs online, and was surprised to find a lovely snug as well as the main lounge….both equipped with TV. The kitchen is large, and well equipped. I was pleased to see an air fryer in the kitchen, as it’s something I use a lot at home. Plenty to see and do in the area, so a highly recommended place to stay.

  • Lisa

    Very luxurious and comfortable with the most amazing master bedroom we've ever seen!!. The garden was perfect if you have a dog too, fully enclosed and safe and lovely to sit in. We had a lovely long weekend in Staindrop which is beautiful and some lovely walks. Village needs a decent pub though and some good eating places but for us for a few days it was not a problem.But thoroughly recommend the house.

  • Ian
