Summary - 5 Bridge End DL12 9BE
5 bed 4 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious five-bed with annex and scenic castle outlook.
Approximately 2,000 sqft of versatile living space
Self-contained one‑bed annex — income or multi‑generational use
Grade II listed — listed consents likely required for alterations
Superb river and castle views from the property
Two courtyard gardens and a large plot
Two allocated off-street parking spaces
Medium flood risk — check insurance and mitigation costs
Higher local crime rate — consider security measures
This substantial Grade II listed semi-detached house offers about 2,000 sqft of flexible living arranged over traditional rooms and high ceilings. Five bedrooms plus a self-contained one‑bed annex make it well suited to an extended family, a live-in carer arrangement or rental income from the flat. The property occupies a large plot with two courtyard gardens and enjoys attractive views over the river and nearby castle.
The house retains period character in a scenic village setting but has practical considerations. As a listed building, any alterations will need consent and specialist attention; the stone walls are likely uninsulated and some upgrade work may be required. The property is served by mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown) but buyers should budget for conservation‑sensitive maintenance and possible improvements to thermal performance.
Location is a strong selling point: a quiet small‑town position with good local schools nearby and excellent mobile and broadband connections. There are two allocated off‑street parking spaces and nearby leisure and tourist amenities. However, there is a medium flood risk for the area and recorded higher local crime levels, so prospective buyers should check insurance costs and local security measures.
In short, this is a rare, versatile period home for a buyer who values character, space and views and who accepts the responsibilities of owning a listed, older property. It will particularly reward families or multi‑generational households able to plan sympathetic repairs and improvements.
