Freehold and sold chain-free for a quick purchase
Compact one-bedroom layout, approx. 473 sq ft
No off-street parking; narrow street and very small plot
Double glazing (pre-2002) and mains gas central heating present
EPC Rating C; solid stone walls likely without insulation
Area shows above-average crime and wider deprivation indicators
Suitable for refurbishment or short-let investment (Airbnb potential)
This compact one-bedroom end-terrace on George Street offers period character and a central Barnard Castle address. The stone facade, sash-style windows and a cosy reception room give immediate charm, while the layout is efficient for single buyers or couples seeking a town-base near Bowes Museum and Witham Gardens.
The property is sold freehold and chain-free, with mains gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C—making it habitable now with straightforward cosmetic updating. The yard provides a small enclosed outdoor space and gated side access, useful for bins or bikes.
Practical considerations: the house is small (c. 473 sq ft) with no off-street parking and a very small plot. Construction is solid stone with assumed no wall insulation, so buyers should expect some energy improvements could help comfort and running costs. The area shows higher-than-average crime statistics and wider local deprivation indicators; factor these into rental or resale plans.
For a first-time buyer this is an affordable entry to town-centre living with potential to increase value through targeted modernisation. Investors may find short-let (Airbnb) appeal given the location, but should allow for refurbishment, energy upgrades and management of a compact property.
