South Cowton, Northallerton

Situation and Amenities
South Cowton benefits from an array of country walks and bridleways close by, including the Coast to Coast trail. The property is only 3 miles from Scorton which is an extremely sought-after village with an active community, a well-regarded primary school, a popular village shop, garage with additional shop, two pubs and a medical centre.
Situated about 5 miles from the A1 at Catterick, the property has easy access to the major commercial centres of Yorkshire and the North East. The historic town of Richmond, with its historic castle and market square, is about 8.7 miles away.
There is a primary school located in North Cowton and a number of secondary schools in Richmond, Northallerton and Darlington.
The nearest airports are Teesside International Airport (14 miles), offering a growing number of domestic and international flights, whilst Leeds Bradford and Newcastle are both about an hour’s drive away. The area is particularly well connected by road and rail and is therefore commutable to Durham, Newcastle, York, Stockton and the wider Teesside area. The property has excellent links to both the A1(M) and A66, with the A1 corridor dividing the Yorkshire Dales from the North York Moors National Park, both of which are easily accessible and offer many opportunities for exploring the great outdoors.
Accommodation
Hawthorn Barn offers an outstanding opportunity to acquire a highly individual, single storey home that blends contemporary architecture with timeless rural character. A spacious entrance hall, flooded with natural light, creates a generous sense of space on arrival and sets the tone for the quality found throughout.
