Heatherbrae in Middleton-in-Teesdale currently operates as a high-end holiday let but it could be converted to a private home
Set in the North Pennines AONB, Heatherbrae is a former hotel and current high-end holiday let.
The country house occupies an elevated position within landscaped gardens and grounds of around 2.3 acres just outside the village of Middleton-in-Teesdale close to Barnard Castle. As well as views of the unspoiled countryside, there is also a tennis court, several outbuildings and a flexible adjoining annexe.
Access to the property is via a gated entrance which will take you past the tennis court and treehouse with a balcony, peeping out from the woodland. Formal terraced gardens wrap around the front and the side of the house, while there are also well-maintained lawns with flower beds, plantings and a paved footpath.

The reception has exposed ceiling beams and a wide staircase up to the second floor. The principal reception rooms are said to be large but with a grant yet warm and inviting atmosphere.
Bay windows and French doors open up to views of the North Pennines AONB whilst allowing in lots of light, and there are reminders of the property history with decorative cornicing and a feature fire place. Also on the ground floor is the open plan kitchen and dining room, which has a wood burning stove on a stone plinth and a large pantry.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms on the first floor, including a large suite. Another floor up and there are three more bedrooms with a more contemporary finish and modern décor, one of which is the largest suite in the house.
In addition to seven bedrooms in the main house, there’s a flexible annexe arranged over two stories too, with a cosy living room and dining area. It can be used independently of the main house, or accessed internally as part of a single property.
The paved terrace around the property has space for dining and entertaining outdoors, while there are hot tubs outside both the main house and the annexe.
Heatherbrae, Middleton-in-Teesdale, County Durham, is being marketed by Finest Properties and has a guide price of £1,350,000.
