Tune into nature or why not relax a little at the health-enhancing Spa facilities of Matfen Hall This is an area steeped in history with vast open spaces and soaring skies, matched with a dizzying array of walking and biking trails where you can start your journey of cultural discovery right on the path of Hadrian’s Wall. The Gingan really does deliver on all levels with plenty of entertaining space and four bedrooms and three bathrooms (two en-suite) which will suit both groups and families alike. The property has spacious accommodation across two floors with a versatile living area, a ground floor bedroom and bathroom, and a fabulous open aspect across the surrounding countryside. The property benefits from an eco friendly heating system supplied by an efficient ground source heat pump with underfloor heating through the ground floor along with a wood burning stove, meaning this property is always wonderfully toasty whatever the weather. The main access leads into an impressive hallway leading into an elegant dining area with large refectory table which seats ten guests comfortably but which can also seat up to twelve for more informal entertaining or candlelit suppers. This extends into a sunlit open plan kitchen with integrated appliances, high quality granite work surfaces and a separate dining area for relaxed breakfasts or lunches. Double doors lead out onto a patio area with garden furniture and a spacious enclosed lawned garden. The original ‘gin gan’ is a spectacular feature of this property, with its traditional wheel-house or round house offering a respectful nod to its past life when donkeys or horses were the gin (engine) to the threshing barn. With its slate roof, stone walls and traditional spoked beams, it is beautifully complementary to the light-filled, contemporary interior overlooking the garden. Add a wood burner, generous seating and rich kilim rugs to the mix and you have a perfect space for hunkering down after a day of exploring. A ground floor bedroom adds some extra flexibility with en-suite bathroom and dressing room, while upstairs, three beautifully appointed bedrooms and two further bathrooms (one en suite) add the final luxurious flourish. For families or groups wishing to holiday together the adjoining Granary (sleeps 4) can be let in conjunction with the Gingan offering accommodation for up to 12 guests. There is a shared games room with ping pong table and storage for bikes and outdoor gear adding a versatile space for wet-weather days, teenagers, or evening entertainment for all.
