FIRE fighters are still at the scene of a large blaze at a County Durham farmhouse this morning.

Two crews remain at the building, understood to be Bowlees Farm off the A689 near Wolsingham.

Fire fighters were called to the property at 10pm last night.

Crews from Stanhope and Crook attended, and called for more assistance.

At one stage, there were five fire crews at the farm.

Last night's severe weather conditions are believed to have hampered crews getting to the scene.
