The Rock House Estate is about 100-acres, with five holiday homes ranging from a large family farmhouse (ref. 80161) for fourteen to a cosy nook for two (ref. 80160). Set at approximately 450m above sea level they all enjoy exceptional panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The estate has its own enclosed woodland and a children’s adventure playground opposite Rock House Farm (ref. 80161).
The North Pennines around Alston are classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area is still relatively undiscovered and is ideal for country pursuits without the crowds. Visit the nearby lead mines, the steam railway at the market town of Alston (location for ’Oliver Twist’), Hadrian’s Wall and the scenic Settle to Carlisle railway.
It is a central point - Carlisle, Durham and the Lakes are all within an hour’s drive. For the more energetic there’s the C2C cycle track, fell walking in the Pennines and along the Pennine Way, and horse riding nearby, as well as many other winter and summer sporting facilities. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
80158, 80159 and 80160 are in close proximity to one another and can sleep up to 12 guests when booked together; 18995 and 80161 are a short walking distance away and can sleep a further 4 and 14 guests respectively.
