Entire home in Rookhope, United Kingdom

4 guests · 2 bedrooms · 2 beds · 2 bathrooms
Located just outside the sleepy village of Rookhope, Red Brick Barn is a postcard perfect holiday home with plenty of charm. Nestled within 40 acres of the striking North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you’ll soon forget the stresses of everyday life here.

Whether you’re looking for a tranquil getaway or a dog friendly adventure, this converted barn will certainly provide the ideal base for your stay.
The space
Red Brick Barn is a beautiful detached property packed with character. Inside you’ll find a living room complete with a log fire, two double ensuite bedrooms, an open plan kitchen diner and outstanding panoramic views of the countryside.

With low ceilings and a warm colour palette, the living room is homely and snug. Relax on the large, corner sofa with a good book or play games with your loved ones. As it gets colder outside, fire up the log burner and enjoy a cosy night in. Please note all logs are provided for your stay. Traditional in style, the space also includes a wooden dresser, benches and side table.

Head through the archway and you’ll find the open plan kitchen diner. With light coloured walls and mint green tiles, the kitchen has a bright and airy feel. Wooden cabinets and a Belfast sink add a country style which fits perfectly with the nature of the barn. Fully equipped for all self-catering staycations, you’ll have access to an oven, hob, toaster and kettle during your stay.

Ideal for socialising, the open plan kitchen diner allows your guests to gather and chat whilst others cook. With a round wooden table and four chairs, there is ample space for your party to enjoy meals together. Please note a highchair is also provided for little ones.

Also located on the ground floor is a spacious WC.

Outside you’ll find a gravelled area with outdoor furniture and incredible views of the countryside. A real treat, this outside space is an added luxury. You can enjoy al fresco dining with your party and drinks outside as the evening draws near. There is also a fire outside in the seating area so you can enjoy this space all year round.

Take the stairs up to the first floor and you’ll find two double ensuite bedrooms. Bold in colour, the first bedroom has buttercup yellow coloured walls to create a positive and cheery space and the second bedroom has deep purple soft furnishings and a striped carpet. You’ll enjoy your sleep at Red Brick Barn as both double beds feature crisp white linens and plush bedding. Please note one bedroom can be made up as a twin if this is more suitable for your stay.

Each bedroom has a clean and modern en suite with a walk in shower, WC and basin.

To operate the shower in yellow bedroom, please lower the shower head to floor level and allow hot water to come through. Once running place shower head as required. If more wood or fire lighters are needed they are in the old stable with wood doors on driveway.

I've just returned from a 2 night stay at this beautiful place. The farmhouse was spotless and cosy, lovely and warm at night with the wood fire going. Lots to see near by, fantastic for our dog Bruce who would of stayed if allowed. Thankyou again Andrew for being a great host.

Our family had a excellent stay on this beautiful rural home. The owners who live nearby and offered priceless local recommendations. They even showed my daughter their farm animals, she loved grabbing a fresh egg from th coupe. It is a rural and quite location with beautiful pubic footpaths just out the door. The kitchen was fully equipped and a fire started upon arrival. The house was perfect for exploring the area. Thank you for such a lovely stay! Would stay here again!

Beautiful quaint cottage located in the hills. The view was amazing and the rolling hills of the north pennines for miles. This is truly a secluded place away from it all. We had a few clear nights while staying and the nightsky is breathtaking with all the stars as it is soo dark. Lots of walks locally and a short drive away. Lots of farmshops around county Durham within 45mins drive. We loved driving around and taking the time to get to places as it is such a breathtaking county!
