6 Cottages - East Briscoe FARM lies 2 miles outside the Teesdale village of Cotherstone in a beautiful, rural, south facing position. Cotherstone is a delightful village situated where the River Balder joins the River Tees 4 miles from Barnard Castle. It is a thriving village with a general store and 2 pubs which serve meals.

The FARMHOUSE and adjoining barns have been converted to form seven cottages, 1 of which is occupied by the owners. Constructed of local sandstone, the buildings retain many ORIGINAL FEATURES typical of the farms of the North Pennines, with some OPEN FIREplaces, BEAMED ceilings and original stonework.
The cottages have accommodation of a high quality, heated by adjustable electric storage heating with supplementary gas or OPEN FIREs. There is a large garden area and ample parking space. Visitors are free to wander over the 13 acres of adjoining fields, woods and riverside. There is approximately 1 / 4 mile of free trout fishing for guests on the River Balder. Pets are welcome to Studio, Barn and Low Barn Cottages, provided dogs are kept on a lead at all times outside the cottages except in the field set aside for pets exercise.

Lying within easy reach of the whole of the North of England, East Briscoe makes an ideal base from which to walk, cycle or tour this beautiful region.
