This detached two-bedroom bungalow is a practical single-storey home in Barnard Castle, well suited to downsizers or buyers seeking low-maintenance living. The layout offers a front living room with bay window, separate dining room, rear garden room and a compact, efficiently planned kitchen. Off-street parking for up to three cars and a garage provide strong practical appeal.
The house is freehold, about 818 sq ft, with gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown). The property presents in generally good order externally with modern neutral finishes internally; the current EPC is around 70 (C) with scope for improvement to about 78. Easy road links (A66/A1(M)) and rail connections at Darlington and Durham make larger centres accessible for commuters.
Buyers should note a handful of practical drawbacks: there is only one bathroom, the local area scores as deprived and recorded crime is above average—factors to weigh for resale or rental. The bungalow was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s, so certain services and finishes may require updating; a full survey is recommended to confirm condition and any works needed.
Overall this is a straightforward, mid-market bungalow offering single-level convenience, useful parking and a manageable garden. It will suit someone seeking immediate occupation with minimal external maintenance, or an investor looking for a stable rental in a small-town location.
