Spring Cottage

The Oak & Brick

Seven minutes by car from Durham city centre, this former rectory plays host to a most luxurious home that feels a world away from urban life. In the rolling fields of County Durham lies a village called Witton Gilbert. At its heart, you’ll find local pubs, shops, and a bowling green, but a five-minute walk will take you up to your vast manor. Enter through majestic,  wrought-iron gates, up your private drive, to the bright blue front door – a cheery invitation to welcome you inside. With modern, velvet furniture in the living space illuminated by enormous bay windows, the gold detailing truly shimmers in the afternoon sun. Pad across the plush carpet to the flagstone floors of the kitchen, where you can rustle up a wholesome Sunday roast on the bottle-green Aga. The dining space has ample room for the whole family, with a rustic table made from huge planks of wood, for a nod to country living. On a balmy summer evening, you might even want to trade the dining table for a picnic on the lawn, followed by a game of tennis on your private court (and a gin and tonic after sunset).

The Ecclesiastic

Look no further than Serene Haven for a peaceful retreat in County Durham. A beautiful, modern bungalow located in the remote village of Westgate, you'll be ideally located to enjoy stunning views of fields, and you are just moments away from local scenic walks.

Fieldview Hideaway

This delightful home is the epitome of Scandi style. Wherever you turn, you’ll see light spaces unbothered by clutter coupled with clean lines and cosy furnishings. Despite its simple style, there are features that jump out at you – yes, we’re talking about the inglenook fireplace that adds a little flair to the kitchen, and the exposed wooden beams that give character to the spa-like bathroom. Speaking of the kitchen, this has to be our favourite spot. If you have someone keen to show off their culinary skills, they’ll find everything they need in this sleek space. While dinner is cooking, the rest of the group can prop themselves up at the breakfast bar, uncork a bottle of wine and let the conversation flow. This sociable space ensures no one misses out.

A home for all seasons, in chillier months, cuddle up on the corner sofa in the evening and find yourself a flick to watch. When the sun is shining, you’ll probably prefer to have dinner or drinks alfresco and soak up a little Vitamin C.

Durham is just a short fifteen-minute drive away from your home in West Rainton and well worth a visit. A vibrant city which bursts with life, it still maintains its history and you’ll find yourself wandering the cobbled streets, popping into independent shops. Another must-see is the stunning Norman architecture on display at Durham Cathedral. With so much to enjoy, it’s nice to remember the charming home you have to return to after a busy day.
