Zoe MacDonald
The Apartment at Finchale is the first floor of this listed building which has been recent modernised and refurbished to a high standard while being sympathetic to the original character of the property. The property is jam packed full of original features such as the panelled living room with bespoke handmade oak table that was made to fit in the bay window that gives views over the river to the handmade oak kitchen and original beams that can be seen peeping through the roof in the hallway. theres even a priest hide in the second bedroom. Being within the grounds of the ruined 11th century priory there is history all around!
My grandparents bought the property as a working farm in 1951 and lived here for many years, the property now owned by my mum and uncle has now been transformed into luxury self catering accommodation on the first floor while the ground floor is still used as the reception and small shop/cafe for the family touring park.
Finchale is within easy reach of the historic city of Durham but remote and quite enough to be a quiet and peaceful retreat!
