About this property
A charming, stone-built, terraced cottage situated in a wonderful position just outside the village of Allenheads. The cottage dates back to 1854 and much of the original charm and character has been retained. The spacious accommodation is very well equipped and furnished. The cottage is surrounded by spectacular moorland and boasts a garden which runs down to a small stream. The garden is accessible to the rear of the property, where there is a shared pathway running between the property and the private garden.
Situated in the heart of the North Pennines, in beautiful Allendale, the village of Allenheads is reputed to be the highest village in England and stands over one thousand, four hundred feet above sea level. Once an important lead-mining area the village now hosts an interesting display of former life in the settlement in the Allenheads Heritage Centre. Surrounded by beautiful heather-clad moorland, the area is well known amongst walkers, nature lovers and bird watchers. In addition to the town's own heritage centre, the Beamish Open Air Museum is nearby – showing a recreation of a mining community. Other attractions within easy driving distance include the fascinating city of Durham, Hadrian's Wall and the attractive market towns of Allendale, Alston and Hexham. With so much to see and do, one visit isn't likely to be enough!
