Located in the picturesque town of Alston, Cumbria, this refurbished detached stone property offers a charming retreat for up to six guests. Nestled in the North of England, Alston is notable for being the highest market town in England, perched at about 1,000 feet above sea level. The town's rich history dates back to the 17th century, and it features attractions such as the highest narrow gauge railway station in England, which serves as the starting point for the scenic South Tynedale Railway. The surrounding area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with access to the Pennine Way walking trail and the A686, celebrated as one of the Ten Great Drives by AA Magazine.

For those seeking adventure, the property is conveniently located near Hartside Fell, which offers a challenging 29-mile climb and is part of the renowned Coast to Coast Cycle Route. Alternatively, guests can unwind in the private hot tub situated in the enclosed garden, where the serene ambiance is complemented by the soothing sounds of local birdlife. This perfect blend of adventure and relaxation makes the property an appealing destination for various types of travelers.

Upon entering the home, guests are greeted by a small lobby that provides access to a convenient WC, or they can opt for the side entrance that leads directly into the open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area. This spacious room features a tiered design, with steps leading from the kitchen to the dining area and down into the lounge. The lounge is bright and inviting, highlighted by an arch window, a wall-mounted Smart TV, and a cozy wood burner set within an elegant stone fireplace. Patio doors from the dining area open up to the enclosed garden, enhancing the indoor-outdoor flow of the space.

The first floor boasts three en suite bedrooms, including two super king-size options and a twin bedroom that is ideal for children, all equipped with wall-mounted Smart TVs for entertainment.
