Finchale Abbey, first floor apartment within an historic 11th Century Farmhouse.

  • A stunning property within an 11th Century farmhouse, this first floor apartment has been recently modernised to a high standard while keeping within the strict guidelines that are in place when restoring a listed property.

    The property has three bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as a beautifully fitted kitchen and a large living room.

    The bespoke handmade oak kitchen, has fully integrated appliances with a rangemaster cooker, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer.

    Second bedroom twin single beds.

    Third bedroom has a bespoke handmade high sleeper double bed and an additional single bed.

    All of the bedrooms benefit from window seats to be used to enjoy the beautiful views.

    The living room is a stunning room with sash windows to three sides and the bespoke hexagonal dining table sits in the bay window giving views over the river. (This sash bay window still contains the original glass and during renovation this was protected by English Heritage and refurbished.) The room has a TV with Sky and DVD player.

    The family bathroom has a corner bath, double shower, WC and basin with views over the priory and river.

    There is also a separate WC.

    Owners of the property own fishing rights over a two mile stretch of the river Wear which is a prime salmon and brown trout river and visitors to the property are welcome to fish in the river during their stay. (Environment agency rod licences must be held.)

    We advise children over nine only due to close proximity of the river.
