Summary - Selset Close, Startforth, Barnard Castle, County Durham, DL12 DL12 9BX
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Contemporary 3-bed home with en‑suite, low‑maintenance garden and EPC B — ideal for small families.
Three bedrooms; master bedroom with en-suite shower room
This modern three-bedroom semi-detached home, built in 2023, is arranged over two floors and suits families seeking low-maintenance living close to Barnard Castle. The ground floor offers a fitted kitchen/diner to the front, a good-sized living room with French doors onto a gravelled, fence-enclosed rear garden and a practical ground-floor WC. The master bedroom includes an en-suite; two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor.
Practical strengths include a tandem driveway, mains gas central heating with a combi boiler, an EPC rating of B/84 and useful built-in storage under the stairs. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local schools (including two rated Outstanding/Good) and Teesdale’s amenities are within easy reach. The property sits on a well-regarded modern development with pleasant walking routes into Barnard Castle.
Notable constraints are that the home is modest in overall size (approximately 688 sq ft) so living and storage space will suit small or growing families rather than those needing large rooms. Parking is tandem only, which can limit kerbside convenience for two cars. A small annual service charge (circa £148) will be introduced for communal maintenance. Reported local crime levels are higher than average; buyers should satisfy themselves on neighbourhood safety and personal security measures.
Available freehold with vacant possession, this home presents an attractive, low-upkeep option for buyers prioritising modern finishes, good energy performance and easy access to Barnard Castle’s schools and services. It is best suited to families or first-time buyers who value a contemporary, lock-up-and-leave lifestyle but can work within a compact floorplan and tandem parking arrangement.
