About
The Space
On the first floor is The Morton, where the kitchen contains one rather special feature - a beautiful shelf lined cupboard, so historically important it is independently listed.
Beautifully crafted – and immensely practical in its new use as a pantry – this is one of the oldest original features in the entire building.
Neighborhood
Nestled in the heart of the historic County Durham, Whinney Hill offers the perfect base to explore the rich heritage and stunning landscapes of the area. Located just a short distance from the iconic Durham Cathedral and Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, guests can immerse themselves in the city's medieval charm and vibrant cultural scene.
The neighbourhood is peaceful and welcoming, with quaint streets lined with local shops, cosy cafes, and traditional pubs.
For those seeking outdoor adventures, the picturesque River Wear offers scenic walking trails and serene spots for picnicking. A short drive will take you to the breathtaking Durham Dales and North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, ideal for hiking, cycling, and wildlife spotting.
Whether you're seeking a quiet retreat or an active getaway, this Durham neighbourhood provides the perfect blend of history, nature, and modern convenience.
