Dating from the 18th Century, High Forge in Beamish is a charming detached property with formal gardens, paddock and outbuildings, situated in a delightful countryside setting adjacent to a stream and woodland. Despite its tranquil location it offers good road access to Chester le Street, Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne. Following conversion and restoration from three cottages, the property offers very spacious accommodation which includes two large Reception Rooms and five Bedrooms. The central Hall leads to a Shower room/wc and also to the farmhouse Kitchen/Dining Room which extends the full depth of the property. The two 18ft Reception rooms both feature multi fuel stoves and fireplaces. To the rear there is a Utility and Store. An Inner Hall leads to five double size Bedrooms and the family Bathroom. Externally there are attractive mature gardens, a large parking area, and a separate vehicle access leading to the Double Garage, Car Port and wood sheds. The property overlooks its own Paddock to front, and beyond to countryside and woodland.
