3 bedroom accommodation in Houghton Le Spring, near Durham
The Barn at Stoneygate Farm is beautifully converted, now a spacious and welcoming bungalow offering stunning views over the countryside.. 1 step to entrance.

Living room: Smart TV, Woodburner
Kitchen/dining room: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher, Washing Machine, Tumble Dryer
Bedroom 1: Kingsize (5ft) Bed Ensuite: Cubicle Shower, Toilet
Bedroom 2: Kingsize (5ft) Bed
Bedroom 3: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds
Bathroom: Bath With Shower Over, Toilet. Oil central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Initial fuel for wood burner included. Travel cot available. Welcome pack. Back garden with sitting-out area. 3 pets welcome, to be kept on a lead at all times (farm country). Private parking for 4 cars. No smoking. Please note: No stag or hen parties.. This charming property, converted 20 years ago, sits on a family farm that has been lovingly tended by four generations for over 120 years.
With off-road parking conveniently located right at your doorstep and all rooms on one level, the Barn is designed for comfort and accessibility. As you step inside, you are greeted by a large open-plan kitchen and dining area, where a generous dining table sits at the heart of the space, perfect for gathering family and friends for meals. The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped, catering to all your culinary needs. Adjacent to the kitchen, the cosy lounge invites you to relax on two comfortable sofas around a multi-fuel stove, with a large TV for entertainment. Local artwork adorns the walls, adding a touch of the area’s culture and heritage. The Barn features three well-appointed bedrooms. The first double bedroom, just a step down from the lounge, is a bright and welcoming space with windows on every side offering views of the private enclosed garden. Glass doors lead directly from the bedroom onto a patio with outdoor seating, perfect for soaking up the sunshine. The hallway leads to two additional bedrooms: a large king bedroom with a step-up to an en suite walk-in shower, and a twin bedroom. The property is complete with a spacious family bathroom.
Ideally located for exploring the region, The Barn is just 4 miles north of Durham City, with its renowned Cathedral and castle, and 6 miles from the fascinating Beamish Open Air Museum. To the east, you’ll find miles of beautiful beaches. Stoneygate Farm offers horse riding facilities and private woodland trails, and by prior arrangement, you can bring your horse to stay in the stables for an additional cost. With seven golf courses within a 30-minute drive and a wealth of nearby attractions, there’s something here for everyone.
