Lussuosa Casa Indipendente, Costruita Nel 2024, Con 5 Camere Da Letto, Ampio Parcheggio Privato, Caricabatterie Per Veicoli Elettrici E Una Doppia

Situated on the North side of Barnard Castle, 18 Merlin Drive is well-placed for a convenient lifestyle, enjoying an easy escape to major commuting routes avoiding town congestion. This is ideal for London commuters, with a mainline to London Kings Cross just 15 miles away. You can be from Darlington to London in under two and a half hours. With great broadband and Wi-Fi connectivity, this is also an ideal location to work from home.

As you enter the household, the spacious hallway sets the tone throughout the property with a continuous flow of light and beautiful flooring. The entire house has been decorated in neutral hues, harnessing the light flowing in through double-glazed windows and bi-fold doors. Spaciousness is the main offering, with a large kitchen and separate utility, a big rear garden with its own patio, and a vast lounge with an enviable entertainment wall. This house is ideal for entertaining, whilst providing a memorable home for your family.

The double garage provides ample storage for all of life’s necessities, such as garden tools and DIY paraphernalia. A downstairs cloakroom and push-sprung cupboards under the stairs, cleverly provide for all the family’s immediate needs on entering the heart of the household.

In any household, the kitchen is the heart of the home. At 18 Merlin Drive, this is absolutely the case. The kitchen is spacious and practical with a large selection of wall and base units, but that practicality is enjoyed all the more as it comes blended with luxury fittings and materials. In short, this is a high grade, sleek modern kitchen that is sophisticated on the one-hand, but able to cope with a very busy young family on the other. This kitchen has all the makings of a high quality, high-functioning modern home.

It is hard to describe the vast amount of natural light that enters the bedrooms upstairs, but suffice it to say that the landing and all the bedrooms are bright and airy, and a very good size. All have a sense of living a luxury lifestyle with oodles of storage space and a well thought out flow.

Barnard Castle is a busy thriving market town originally built around the castle that gave the town its famous name. Awash with a plethora of interesting architecture, and traditional cobbled marketplace, the town never ceases to thrill the eye. Set near the River Tees, Barnard Castle is in ”Teesdale”. Teesdale is famous for its dramatic landscapes and powerful waterfalls, like High Force and Cauldron Snout.

Families thrive in Barnard Castle; there is plenty to get involved in, from musical outlets to sports clubs. A purpose-built museum called The Bowes, is built in the style of a French chateau, and is set in formal gardens within walking distance of the town centre. This offers a remarkable space and a paradise for walkers and runners alike. There are circular routes through idyllic countryside, along riverside pathways where you can enjoy spotting a heron, a dipper or a kingfisher.

Children thrive in Barnard Castle; the town offers a caring supportive environment from nurseries to senior schools. The town also has some major organisations to get involved in at any age, such as the ”Teesdale Operatic Society”, which puts on musicals, and ”The Castle Players”, the amateur dramatics club who put on a vast variety of plays performed all year round. Nearby at Grassholme Reservoir there is an observatory or you could catch a sail at the Reservoir’s own sailing club. If you are a lover of the natural world, then Teesdale is a celebration of dark skies and a range of protected species.

The very well-equipped high street caters for nearly all your needs with a wide range of independent and bigger-branded shops, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets.

In short, Barnard Castle appears to have it all; from the sophistication of its schools, rural beauty and historic architecture, art galleries and culture, to the industry of modern farming and successful connectivity, blue chip companies and good transport links. In short, Barnard Castle is a fabulous place to live.
