Low Shipley, which has spectacular views and access to the Teesdale Way, has been developed to include a range of rural enterprises which take full advantage of the beautiful location and features a traditional stone-built farmhouse, three cottages and a further building for conversion.
John Coleman, Head of farm and land sales, GSC Grays said: “Low Shipley Farm provides outstanding amenity and environmental value due to its superb location alongside the River Tees. The farm has developed into a diverse rural business, seamlessly integrating holiday lettings and a caravan park with its traditional farming operations.”
The property, with access to the Teesdale Way, lies opposite the pretty village of Cotherstone and about 5 miles north of Barnard Castle and under the current arrangements, the principal enterprise is the caravan park which can be occupied between the 1st March to 30th October each year.
