Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Just going by the interior, you would never be able to guess that this home was once a nineteenth-century corn mill. The dominant palette of muted greys feels particularly en vogue, while there are luxurious touches in every room you peek in, from the statement stone fireplace and the p-shaped bathtub to the large glass door in the living room that bathes the space in natural light. Step out these very doors and you'll reach an outdoor terrace from which you'll be able to get a sense of the home's heritage. Whereas the River Derwent running by the address would have once been essential for grinding down the crops, its only purpose today is to act as a peaceful accompaniment to an alfresco lunch. Follow this river in one direction and you'll reach the vast North Pennines AONB with its hilly walking routes and historical mining landmarks. The other way sees it flow into the eponymous river at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, which can be reached in just over half an hour by car and offers plenty of galleries, restaurants and nightlife options

Local guide
About The North Pennines
It’s official – the North Pennines are beautiful. Designated an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a UNESCO geological heritage site, this undulating area of North Yorkshire has spectacular scenery and a landscape that could tell the story of aeons gone by. Tiny stone-house villages and hamlets dot the valleys and cluster around babbling rivers – Bowlees is particularly idyllic and is home to the North Pennines information centre....
