This Grade II listed second-floor apartment sits directly on Barnard Castle’s market square, offering immediate access to shops, cafes and attractions. The building’s high ceilings, sash windows and period detailing give the principal rooms strong character and a roomy feel. The property is currently operated as a holiday let, so it can be bought as an income-producing asset or as a lock-up-and-leave home.
Accommodation includes an open-plan living/dining/kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom across an estimated 818 sq ft. Gas central heating is in place and the layout suits both short-term rental and owner-occupation. Nearby schools and town amenities increase its appeal to holiday-makers and local tenants alike.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold and Grade II listing restricts works and may complicate changes or conversions. The building’s stone façade shows weathering and would benefit from cleaning/repointing; internal wall insulation is not evident. There is no private garden or off-street parking, and the area records above-average crime and local deprivation indicators — factors to weigh for long-term letting or resale.
Overall this is a characterful central apartment with ready-made short‑let potential and clear scope for an owner who values low-maintenance town-centre living. Buyers who need extensive refurbishment, significant layout changes, or unrestricted reuse should factor in listing consents and possible conservation costs.
