Summary - 9, LOW STARTFORTH ROAD, BARNARD CASTLE DL12 9AU
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Compact two-bedroom cottage close to Barnard Castle amenities and schools.
Recently renovated throughout, ready to occupy
A freshly renovated two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage offering compact, move-in ready accommodation in Startforth. At about 490 sq ft this property suits first-time buyers seeking a manageable home with period charm and contemporary finishes. It is offered with no onward chain for a quick sale.
The house blends traditional stone exterior character with modern interiors — double glazing, gas boiler and radiators, parquet flooring and updated shower room. Its corner position and proximity to Barnard Castle town centre (around a ten-minute walk) place shops, leisure and good schools within easy reach. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are excellent, supporting remote working or streaming.
Buyers should note the small overall size and inherently limited storage typical of older cottages. The walls are traditional sandstone/limestone and are assumed to lack built-in insulation, which may affect heating costs despite the gas central heating. The wider area records higher local crime levels, a material consideration for some purchasers.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, affordable starter home with character and modern systems in place, but it will suit buyers comfortable with a compact layout and an older stone-built property that could benefit from targeted insulating upgrades.
