About this property

Nestled in the heart of Middleton-in-Teesdale, County Durham lies the delightful, three-bedroom terraced cottage of 15 Market Place. Boasting a prime position within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with easy access to the Yorkshire Dales National Park as well as a range of local amenities, 15 Market Place makes a wonderful dwelling for a group or family of five looking for their next adventure in the north of England. Step into your charming new home-from-home, where you will be welcomed into a stylishly decorated sitting room where you can enjoy your favourite TV shows. Rustle up lovingly prepared meals in the fully-equipped kitchen, which features a dishwasher and handy washer/dryer, ready to savour at the dining table in front of the crackling embers of a woodburning stove, or even outside in the private yard where an external cloakroom can also be found. Ascend the stairs up to the first floor, where you can wash away the day with a refreshing shower before wrapping yourself in a toasty towel courtesy of the heated towel rail. When sleep calls, choose from three beautifully-presented bedrooms, including a double with TV, a second double, and a single. Explore the local village, home to a good range of shops for picking up essentials, traditional pubs, and restaurants where you can treat your loved ones to a tasty meal when you fancy a night off from cooking! Take advantage of your superb location within an AONB by venturing along one of the many scenic walks or cycling trails on offer, including leisurely strolls along the River Tees or more adventurous hikes up to the nearby High Force Waterfall and Summerhill Force & Gibson’s Cave. Those seeking the thrills of the outdoors can embark up the imposing peaks of Cross Fell, Thack Moor, soak up the scenery along the 268-mile Pennine Way, or take to the ski slopes at Yad Moss. Head over to Barnard Castle, home to an impressive English Heritage Castle of the same name, The Bowes Museum, an excellent golf club and the wildlife rich Deepdale Nature Reserve. Venture into the Yorkshire Dales National Park where you will find the natural wonders of Janet’s Foss and Malham Cove, Bolton Priory, Pendragon Castle or watch the Flying Scotsman zoom past across the Ribblehead Viaduct. However, you choose to spend your next visit to County Durham, be sure to choose 15 Market Place as your base.

Nestling by the banks of the River Tees is the pretty Pennine town of Middleton-in-Teesdale, which lies in the heart of Teesdale, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

    Everything you need, excellent facilities, convenient to the local pubs, shops and cafes. Easy parking Property was great for cocker spaniel with great walks straight from the door either along the river, or up onto the hills in less than 5 minutes with options for short and long circular walks, we will return in the future and would recommend.

  • Joanna

    The cottage was located right in the centre of Middleton-in-Teesdale, so it was very e ll located and handy for the shops, pubs and restaurants. It had a lot of character but was very modern and tastefully decorated inside. It has two good-sized double bedrooms and a small single room, each one very comfortably decorated. It had everything you’d need and a good patio for the dog and sitting outside. We were lucky that the weather was gorgeous the weekend we stayed so that made it even better. Well done to the owners. We loved it!

  • Neil

    Central location; an hour away from most towns. Nice little village. Fish and chips V good. Pie and chips even better. House has been well thought out. Kitchen is small but has everything needed. One of the best properties we’ve stayed in. Easily fitted an adult family of 5 in kitchen and lounge, and TV in each room was a bonus.
