Annexe 1

Brandon is a quiet village within easy reach of Durham's historic centre, where the cathedral and castle overlook the river. Annexe 1 sits in a small courtyard of five recently refurbished holiday properties, with its own parking and access to shared garden furniture. The setting is walking and cycling country, though city attractions are a short drive away.

The annexe is a single ground-floor space combining living, dining and kitchen areas, with a double bedroom and shower room. You have a smart TV, electric cooking, microwave and fridge; wifi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included. A welcome pack is provided. The courtyard is shared with the other properties on site, and there is an electric car charging point available. Smoking is not permitted inside.

This suits couples or solo travellers looking for a base near Durham. The layout keeps everything compact and practical, from the open-plan living to the heated towel rail in the bathroom. Two cars can park on site.
