Gatherings

Everyone under one roof, without feeling crowded

Grandparents, parents, children, cousins and friends coming together in one private country house — with space to gather, play, eat, rest and reconnect.

Time Together That Feels Rare

The Moments That Matter Most

Families are busy. Diaries fill. Children grow. Generations spread across distance. The moments when everyone can be together are more precious than we often realise.

Heather Brae gives those moments a setting: a large kitchen, long dining table, open fires, hot tubs, gardens, games room, tennis court and countryside all around. It is the kind of house where people naturally gather, then drift into their own rhythm, then come back together again.

Togetherness Without Crowding

In a house this size, there is room to be together and room to be apart.

The kitchen is for those who want to be at the centre of things. The sitting room is for those who want to read. The garden is for the ones who need to move. The terrace is for those who simply want to sit and look at the valley. Different generations can find their own rhythm without anyone feeling crowded — and without anyone feeling left out.

Outside Space

2.5 Acres for Children to Explore

Heather Brae's private grounds give children room to run and play while adults relax on the terrace with a view of the valley. The tennis court, hot tubs and outdoor seating mean the outside space works as hard as the inside.

For families who want to explore further, the Pennine Way, High Force and the wider Upper Teesdale countryside are right on the doorstep.
