The Shooting Box is a former 18th Century Shooting Lodge, with parts dating back to the 16th Century, located in a beautiful elevated position, tucked well away from the road, in the picturesque village of Edmundbyers. The magnificent and substantially extended stone built country house enjoys stunning open aspect rural views, with beautiful formal gardens, mature orchards and a one acre paddock, as well as a separate two bedroom detached Coach House, ideal for extended family, holiday or residential letting.
