This Georgian property was built in 1810 and part of the Lampton Estate until the 1960s and has now been fully renovated to a very high standard
I am a business man that enjoys meeting people and loves baking and cooking.
We are located in between Durham and Newcastle are just a few minutes drive to the A1 so perfect for visiting local attractions such as Beamish Museum and others. We are only 20 mins from the airport and can offer car storage and arrange transport to and from the airport.
