This stunning 17th century cottage is situated on the banks of the River Derwent in Shotley Bridge.

Mill Race Cottage offers charm and character within a picturesque location and offers accommodation arranged over three floors, comprising on the ground floor, a modern kitchen dining room with sliding doors to the patio area, cloakroom w.c., and a large lounge with an open fire. On the first floor is the main entrance hallway and two double bedrooms, both with ensuite. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms and a bathroom. There are three allocated parking spaces for the house and a decked patio area overlooking the river.

Mill Race Cottage is one of the few remaining period properties situated in the re-development area of the riverside in Shotley Bridge, which dates to the 17th century and the famous sword makers. Shotley Bridge has local shops, restaurants and primary schools and is well positioned for access to Blackhill and further to Consett town centre approximately two miles distant. Newcastle and Durham are both within 15 miles - via the A694 and A691 highways - making it an excellent location from which to commute, while there are countrywide walks and cycle routes nearby, including the Derwent Walk and Coast-to-Coast cycle route.
