Description - Durham Heifer offers a lifestyle and business prospect with a myriad of further opportunities depending on the purchaser. The property has been tastefully redeveloped by the current owners to provide a substantial five-bedroom family home, a newly renovated and self-contained one bedroom apartment, an on-site café with modern commercial kitchen, and a family camp site operating under a Camping and Caravan Licence, with extensive facilities.

The main house has been refurbished to a high specification and offers versatile living accommodation over two floors.

Upstairs, the property has four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys an en-suite shower room and walk in dressing room, further bedroom with en-suite shower room, two additional double bedrooms, and a family bathroom with free- standing bath.

Connected to the family home is a well-presented café providing 24 covers indoor and 34 covers in the external courtyard and beyond. There is front and rear aspect doors, wood burning stove and counter. At the rear is a commercial kitchen and three storerooms.

The current owners have also created a spacious self-contained flat which comprises; entrance hall, living room, kitchen, bathroom and double bedroom. This is accessed independently from the rear.

External And Camping Facilities - The main house is accessed via a private gated driveway with an extensive drive/ parking area with a storage shed.
