Tucked away in the market town of Barnard Castle, just paces away from amenities and attractions, is this one-bedroom cottage, The Print Shop.

This stone-fronted property makes an ideal escape for a couple seeking an adventure with much to see and do.

Follow the narrow corridor leading to your holiday home, where you will discover the entrance hallway, with a contemporary shower room to your right to freshen up after your journey.

Adjacent to the shower room is the well-presented double bedroom, offering a TV for a movie night beneath the covers and storage to house your belongings.

Climb up the stairs to find the open-plan living space, where you can kick back and relax on the plush sofa and flicker through the TV or open up a book to keep you entertained.

Step over to the contemporary kitchen area; here you can make use of the two-ring hob and integrated microwave to prepare mouth-watering dishes; afterwards, there is a dishwasher for a fuss-free clean.

Dine together at the table for two to savour a romantic meal and why not uncork a bottle of wine to make a toast? When sleep calls, venture to the ground floor and climb into your pyjamas before enjoying a hot chocolate in your double bed.

Awaken with a home-cooked breakfast courtesy of the kitchen appliances before heading out on foot to explore your surroundings.

The Print Shop is just moments away from the heart of Barnard Castle, where you will see the grand building of The Bowes Museum to learn about the past, Barnard Castle Golf Club to test your swing, and the medieval castle ruins, which the town is named after.

Jump in the car to view the impressive estate of Raby Castle Park and Gardens or why not head into the large town of Darlington to visit the Head of Steam Darlington Railway Museum? The city of Durham is also within easy reach, home to a Romanesque cathedral, an imposing castle, and the Oriental Museum to immerse yourself in the past.
