One of the superking double rooms can be adjoined with a smaller room, which sleeps up to three children. Both rooms have an en-suite. | Submitted
6. Eye-catching interiors
The owners sourced items from a range of different periods, from Victorian to modern, to give the home a unique identity that reflects the many decades it's lived through. | Sunderland Echo
