Situated in a truly unique location within the hamlet of Redford which is nestled in the trees of Hamsterley forest approximately 3 miles from Hamsterley village itself. Hamsterley Forest is a delightful 2000 hectare oasis, sprawling along the sides of a sheltered valley and offering endless footpaths, bridleways and cycling tracks. Nearby, Hamsterley village is a pretty and sought after village offering a small primary school, highly regarded pub/restaurant and a well-used village hall.
Wolsingham and Barnard Castle are nearby market towns offering a range of local shops and services, including a bank, post office, health centre, chemist, greengrocer, supermarket, butchers, schools, pubs and restaurants. Bishop Auckland also offers a much more extensive range of supermarkets whilst Durham (18 miles), Darlington (20 miles), and Newcastle (31 miles) provide additional restaurants, shopping, health and cultural opportunities. All three lie on the central east coast rail line with regular connections north and south with London. (please note all distances are approximate).
