Angerton South Moor is a period property with countryside views, available for a 12-month let.
Adam Waugh, co-owner, has set off on the Sail Around the World Race, solo-sailing 28,000 nautical miles in a 19ft boat he built in his garden shed, despite having no previous boat-building experience.

Sam Gibson, from the estate agency Galbraith, said: “This is probably the prettiest house available to rent anywhere in the north of England.
“The interiors have been beautifully redecorated and are wonderfully presented, offering excellent entertaining space and all the character you would expect from a country home of this period.”
