27 West Green

About this property

27 West Green is a stunning terraced cottage resting in the village of Heighington. With a local shop and pub, pretty village green, and access to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this is a beautiful home for friends, families, or couples looking for a charming retreat to Durham. Settled into a picturesque village, this pretty home welcomes you with a front seating area with mature shrubs adding a pop of colour and an eye-catching blue door. Enjoy evenings in the simply delightful sitting room, with pale green walls and the added ambiance of a crackling woodburning stove. The kitchen is a beautiful space filled with natural light, boasting contemporary furniture and ample amenities, a truly opulent space to cook up a storm.

The dining room continues the character of this abode, with wooden roof beams threaded throughout, exposed stonework, and glass double doors opening up onto the rear garden. The rear garden is enclosed and allows your four-legged companion to play in the evening sunshine as you enjoy a tipple and plan your next adventure. As the stars appear overhead, head up to the bathroom and enjoy either a warm shower or a soak in the tub, before cosying up for the night into one of the well-presented bedrooms, choosing between a stylish king-size with a TV and a plush double. Heighington is a lovely village offering a local pub right beside the property, as well as a village shop, and a village green for picnics, punctuated by daffodils in the spring time.

Heighington makes a brilliant base for exploring the region, with nearby towns such as Darlington, Bishop Auckland, and Newton Aycliffe offering shops, eateries, and attractions. Visit highlights like Locomotion Railway Museum and Hardwick Park. Bishop Auckland is home to the impressive Auckland Palace, as well as a local golf course, and Raby Castle, Bernard Castle, and the ruins of Bowes Castle allow guests to delve into local history. The city of Durham is a must-visit, offering botanic gardens, as well as quaint shops, cafes, and pubs to browse at your leisure. At the North Penines National Landscape there are scenic walks including those at Low Force Waterfall, or alternatively spend a day exploring the stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

27 West Green is an idyllic retreat to Durham.

Heighington is a small village in the unspoilt countryside of Teesdale, in County Durham, 15 miles from Barnard Castle, 20 miles from the magnificent cathedral city of Durham. Consisting of a small group of traditional cottages, four pubs and a Norman Church, and boasting lovely views of the surrounding Dales countryside, Heighington is a great rural base for this part of the northern Dales. Barnard Castle is known affectionately as 'Barney' by residents and visitors alike, and boasts shops and eateries laid out over cobbled streets, yards and back lanes. A trip to Durham with its majestic castle and cathedral is a must, as is a visit to the wild and rugged northern fells of Yorkshire and Cumbria. Nearby attractions include Raby Castle, Eggleston Abbey, Rokerby Hall, Hadrians Wall and Northumberland Coast. In 2006 Heighington was judged from amongst 11 other villages around the UK to be the BBC's Perfect Village.
