Nestled directly opposite Staindrop’s village green, The Old Poor House is a Grade II listed terraced home that combines period character with practical family living. The living room’s exposed beams and wood-burning stove create a cosy hub, while the top-floor master suite offers elevated views across the green. The layout spans three floors, providing flexible space for bedrooms, a study area, and living zones.
The kitchen features granite worktops and connects to a dining conservatory with French doors opening onto an enclosed, walled cottage garden with lawn and a raised patio—ideal for outdoor dining. A useful outbuilding/home office, wired for power and light, adds genuine utility for remote working or hobbies. Local amenities, excellent primary and secondary schools, and links to Barnard Castle, Bishop Auckland and Darlington make everyday life convenient.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listed status: any alterations or extensions will be constrained and may require specialist consent and higher maintenance costs. The plot is very small and private outdoor space is limited. There is a medium flood risk in the area, which will affect insurance terms and could require mitigation measures. Overall, the home is well presented but carries the ongoing responsibilities that come with a historic listed building.
