Dieses Wunderschöne Familienhaus Wurde 1766 Erbaut Und Kombiniert Perfekt Hervorragende Schulen Und Pendlerfreundlichkeit

Upon entering the property, the panelled hallway gives way to flagged floors, original fireplaces and exposed beams. The lounge is fitted with bespoke glass-fronted cabinets and a range of lovely shelves. A large open fire finishes the effect and provides a cosy focal point for family gatherings.

A smart kitchen provides the means for a modern lifestyle and a place for everything. It does so without over-intruding on the cherished features that one expects to find in a Grade II listed property. A characterful dining room, with a log-burning stove sits immediately adjacent to the kitchen, providing the perfect dining space for family and friends.

This property has 6 characterful bedrooms and an attic, providing storage and flexibility, depending upon requirements. Currently, four are used as bedrooms, are exceedingly spacious, and have lovely views of either the village green or the fields behind. Bedrooms five and six are very much utilised; one is a busy office with the capacity to house a large desk, and multiple screens. The other is employed as the family music room which acts like an upstairs sitting room. This has the capacity to be made into a very impressive master bedroom. This is a house that just keeps on giving flexibility for all your needs.

The kitchen leads out to a beautiful back garden, which has been carefully crafted into a manageable yet verdant space. Stone flags, lovely seating and rendered high walls are a winning formula and, being south-facing, provides a suntrap and the required means to relax.

The property sits on the edge of a traditional, village green which is lined with ancient horse chestnut trees offering a wonderful setting within which the house is offset. The rear of the garden has vehicular access, via a residents-only courtyard, and there is a private place to park if required. However, the village green in front of the property invariably provides ample on-street parking, making this rear private parking space less utilised. Being within easy reach of the A1 and 15 miles from Darlington, which has a mainline station to London Kings Cross, adds further meaning to the picturesque location of this beautiful property.

The green in Staindrop, also known as ”the fanlight village”, is nestled 1.5 miles from the grounds of Raby Castle, itself a regenerated and refurbished affair with a multitude of gardens parkland and walks to explore. Speaking of castles, one only has to travel another 4 miles to see the historic market town of Barnard Castle, which gets its name from the castle around which the town has risen. Within this historic town, there are many restaurants and artisan shops, which frame the beautiful cobbled market place. Within walking distance of this market place is The Bowes Museum, built in the style of a French chateau and set within 22 acres of landscaped gardens, where you can watch the 252-year old mechanical swan in operation. Barnard Castle is supremely served by a plethora of sporting and cultural outlets, including the tennis club, cricket club, rugby club, leisure centre to name a few. There are many outstanding musical and amateur dramatics events produced by the Teesdale Operatic Society, The Castle Players, The Choral Society and others creating an enriched environment in which to settle.

All in all, this is is superb property in a convenient location, served by highly-rated schools, and set on the edge of an AONB where you and your family are sure to flourish.
