Summary - Thringarth Farm, Thringarth, Middleton-in-Teesdale, BARNARD CASTLE DL12 0NU
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Large character home with paddock, garage and stunning reservoir views.
Elevated barn conversion with views over Grassholme Reservoir
Set high above Grassholme Reservoir, this handsome converted barn offers very large family accommodation across multiple reception rooms and four double bedrooms. The site extends to about 0.6ha (1.48ac) including a paddock, detached four‑car garage with workshop and a timber outbuilding — ideal for hobby vehicles, stables or small‑scale equestrian use.
The house mixes traditional stone character with modern comforts: underfloor heating to the ground floor, a well‑equipped kitchen with AGA, a cinema room, gym and useful fitted study. Environmentally, a roof‑mounted PV system with a 9kW battery reduces running costs; mains electricity, spring water with UV filtration and oil‑fired central heating complete the services.
There are practical considerations buyers should note. The main house is long leasehold (Mickleton Lease, very long term remaining), the paddock is on a separate freehold title, and an unregistered access track carries a shared maintenance obligation (approximately 30% payable by this property). Broadband is currently provided by Starlink; fixed-line speeds in the area are very slow. The modern garden building (constructed 2020) has no retrospective planning consent — vendors offer indemnity insurance.
This is a substantial, rural family home for buyers seeking privacy, flexible outbuildings and wide countryside views rather than an urban commute. It is available chain free and will suit families, equestrian hobbyists or purchasers wanting a character property with scope for personal upgrading and outdoor pursuits.
