This detached two-bedroom bungalow on Clint Lane suits someone looking to downsize without sacrificing space or countryside views. Single-storey living is arranged for easy daily use, with a sitting room, kitchen/dining area, utility room and an attached garage. Large front and rear gardens plus a paddock (approx 0.15 acres) give outdoor scope without being overwhelming.
The elevated position delivers genuine panoramic rural views and a peaceful, semi‑rural setting close to Bowes village. Practical features include oil‑fired central heating, full double glazing and a driveway providing off‑road parking. Broadband and mobile signals are reported strong, and the property has very low local crime and no flood risk.
Buyers should note the bungalow dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has cavity walls likely without added insulation. There is clear scope and value in sensible energy and comfort improvements (wall insulation, heating modernisation). Accommodation is well maintained but traditional in style and offers only one shower room, which may suit downsizers but could limit multi-occupant families.
Outbuildings and the paddock provide hobby, storage or small‑scale equestrian potential, and the elevated plot may appeal to anyone wanting a peaceful base with good road links (A66) and Barnard Castle around five miles away. Overall, this is a practical, well‑situated bungalow with strong rural appeal and realistic upgrade potential.
