A compact two-bedroom end-of-terrace in the centre of Barnard Castle, offered chain free and sold at auction. The property retains period character — bay window, stone fireplace and original facade — and suits buyers seeking a refurbishment project or investors targeting a town-centre flip.
The ground floor has a living room with bay window and fireplace, plus a kitchen with direct access to a covered alleyway and shared rear courtyard. Two first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom with an older suite complete the layout. Rooms are small to average and ceilings are low to standard; the overall footprint is about 629 sq ft.
The house requires renovation: updating the bathroom, kitchen and general decoration is needed, and the stone walls are understood to have no insulation. The EPC is band D. Heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown. There is no flooding risk and mobile signal is excellent.
Location is a mixed picture. Barnard Castle is a historic market town with cultural attractions, good schools nearby, shops and transport links. However, the property sits in an area described as deprived with above-average crime statistics. The freehold tenure and low council tax band may help running costs, but buyers should factor refurbishment costs and local market demand when considering this as an investment or home.
