Summary - 4 MEWS COTTAGES, MARKET PLACE, BARNARD CASTLE, MIDDLETON-IN-TEESDALE DL12 0QG
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Two-bed village cottage with garden, ideal for first-time buyers or renovation projects.
Two-bedroom stone end-terrace with small established garden
This two-bedroom end-terrace stone cottage sits in the heart of Middleton-in-Teesdale, a picturesque Teesdale Valley village with local shops, cafés and easy access to countryside walks. The house is freehold, has double glazing throughout, a small established garden and modest rooms suited to single occupants, couples or first-time buyers seeking character and village life.
The property requires updating and modernisation throughout — kitchen and shower room are dated and internal finishes need attention. The stone walls are likely uninsulated (original construction pre-1900), and heating runs on electric fuel with a boiler and radiators, so expect running costs to be higher than modern systems and further investment to improve energy efficiency.
Strengths include the central village location, very low local crime, fast broadband for a rural area and no flooding risk. Council tax is described as cheap and the plot, while small, offers an established garden with mature borders. The house offers clear renovation potential for someone wanting a manageable project in a popular rural market town.
Practical considerations: the cottage is in a remoter community with local amenities but limited wider services; one nearby primary has a good Ofsted rating while another is rated inadequate. The overall size is modest (about 620 sq ft), so buyers should expect compact rooms typical of traditional cottages.
