Hamsterley Pastures, Hamsterley, Bishop Auckland, DL13 4 bedroom detached house For Sale in Bishop Auckland

Introduction

Description

The rural village of Hamsterley is set on elevated ground between the picturesque valleys of Weardale and Teesdale and is renowned for its peaceful surroundings and traditional character. 

With beautiful countryside on the doorstep, one of the villages greatest attractions is its proximity to Hamsterley Forest, a vast woodland offering scenic walking routes, cycling and mountain bike trails. It is also an ideal base for commuting, being close to the A68 with fast access to the A1(M) and the major commercial centres of the northeast. 

The village itself benefits from a strong sense of community, a traditional village green, primary school, public house/restaurant and village hall. 

A wider range of schools, shopping and recreational facilities can be found within the neighbouring towns of Bishop Auckland, Wolsingham and Barnard Castle.  

Built to an exceptional standard by Forric Homes, featuring premium fixtures and fittings throughout, the property also benefits from air source heat pumps, ensuring a sustainable and cost effective living environment.
