Half a mile down a small woodland track, this unusual stone mill renovation will suit nature lovers and style lovers alike. A real rustic bolthole, its tranquil woodland setting means that guests might sit in the conservatory and watch a deer in the woods or a red kite flying above and it is only half a mile from the famous Derwent Walk which takes ramblers the length of the valley. Internally the renovation has been completed with attention to detail to the highest standards by the owners who live in the neighbouring property - although please note that guests are assured of complete privacy and independance with their own private outdoor space and the property is some distance from the main house.
Accommodation
You enter through a glazed sitting area into a spacious open-plan living/dining and kitchen. Oak flooring runs the length of the ground floor accommodation. The styling, perhaps best decribed as a sort of 'comfortable chic', has muted rustic tones characterising the living area, with a log burning stove and classically styled sofas. The painted kitchen has been handmade and boasts a large ceramic butler style sink, fitted ceramic hob, oven and dishwasher, freestanding fridge/freezer and washer/dryer. There is a dining table to seat up to 4 with Seagrass chairs .
The staircase is open plan leading to the galleried bedroom area with dual aspect windows, white painted furniture, bespoke wardrobes fitted to the eaves and painted in subtle tones and a grand feature king-sized bed.
A contemporary bathroom leads off the bedroom with a large double-ended bath and free-standing shower cubicle.
Double doors from the conservatory to a patio with outdoor furniture and barbecue, gravelled and planted area and cobbled parking space.

Location description
Many are amazed that such wonderful and unspoilt countryside can be found so relatively close to the city. The Derwent Valley is well known to cyclists and walkers - the coast to coast cycle route, also known as the Derwent Walk, http://www.gateshead.gov.uk/Leisure%20and%20Culture/countryside/sites/derwent.aspx passes within 1/2 mile of Paper Mill.
The valley has also recently become known for the latest release of Red Kites, which have made themselves at home in the area and have bred in the past couple of years. Red Kites can be seen circling The Old Paper Mill woodland on a regular basis.http://www.northernkites.org.uk/ Also see The Red Kite Trail
To the west, the beautiful Tyne Valley offers more walking opportunities and the town of Hexham with its famous Abbey and antique shops are less than 30 minutes away. Other notable attractions nearby are Tanfield Railway (run by local enthusiasts), the historic Causey Arch viaduct and the beautiful City of Durham, a must-see for historians, architects and shoppers alike! http://www.durhamtourism.co.uk/home.html
Gateshead's Metro Centre http://www.metrocentre.uk.com/ - shopping heaven or hell, depending on your viewpoint - is a mere 15 minutes by car and Newcastle http://www.newcastlegateshead.com/cityguideIndex.php with its many shops, restaurants and famous quayside is within 10 miles. See our Area Information pages for further information
