A charming rural retreat yet only 5 miles from Gateshead’s Metro Centre and its huge variety of shops, eating places and cinema, this traditional converted granary certainly offers the best of town and country. Affording lovely walks and cycling through open countryside from the door, it adjoins the owners’ home, overlooking their riding school where lessons and treks can be arranged. Within 2 miles, the Beamish Open Air Museum offers a fascinating day out, Newcastle and the cathedral city of Durham are a short drive and the Northumbrian coast is within an hours drive away. Pub and shop under 2 miles.
