500 acre Durham farm

Hello, I’m James and I have a room in my farmhouse which will be available now, so let me know if you’d be interested.

It's a very nice place to live. There are four big bedrooms, a huge lounge with a wood-burning stove, a decent-sized kitchen, a big bathroom and a utility room with a washing machine, drier, fridge and freezer.

We also have our own gym with a spinning bike, cable machine etc. and a home cinema in the lounge. And there's 500 acres of land to run around on!

I live here with my brother, David, and it's actually the house we grew up in until back in 2001 when it went back on the market. I‘m currently doing a Master’s in Politics at Durham and a PhD in Psychology next year. I like a lot of podcasts, music, film, tennis, dinner parties and entrepreneurial stuff; David likes football, gaming and general outdoorsy stuff. I think we're very easy to live with, but naturally I would say that.

I should add, you really need a car to live here. The nearest bus stop is over a mile away, which isn’t bad when the weather’s nice, but basically means you’re stranded for most of the year.

There are loads of animals too. I rescue battery hens and the farm has a stable so we're surrounded by horses. We also have a border collie puppy called Des who lives in the house, but he's very relaxed and well-behaved.

Anyway, please get in touch if any of this appeals to you.
