Bradley Hall is delighted to welcome to the market this exceptional four bedroom stone built equestrian home, beautifully set within the scenic countryside of County Durham. Boasting a characterful stable block and an expansive oneacre paddock, The Forge at 4 Billy Hall Farm offers an idyllic lifestyle opportunity for families, equestrians, and countryside enthusiasts alike.
This charming stone-built residence offers the perfect blend of rustic elegance and modern functionality. Internally, the property showcases beautiful original features such as exposed timber beams, natural stone accent walls, and solid wood flooring throughout. The main living room is warm and inviting, complete with French doors leading to a private rear garden and a log-burning stove set into a striking stone fireplace, creating a perfect space for relaxation
and entertaining alike.

The kitchen is a true highlight of the home, designed for both style and practicality. It features a range of bespoke wall and base units finished with sleek granite worktops, along with an integrated dishwasher, integrated fridge,
double oven, and induction hob. Adjacent to the kitchen, the spacious dining area retains a welcoming farmhouse aesthetic with exposed stone walls and ample natural light via a skylight.

Externally, the property enjoys a wealth of features ideal for outdoor living and
country pursuits. A double garage and additional allocated parking provide
ample space for vehicles, while a central courtyard and a well-maintained rear
garden offer peaceful outdoor spaces for relaxation or entertainment. The adjoining paddock and two-stable block make this home particularly attractive to those with equestrian interests or those simply seeking additional land.
