Summary - DOTHEBOYS HALL FLAT 3 BOWES BARNARD CASTLE DL12 9LL
4 bed 2 bath Terraced
Renovated character house with large gardens near Barnard Castle.
Four bedrooms over three floors with attic bedroom and exposed roof timbers
Dotheboys Hall Flat 3 occupies part of a striking Grade II listed former manor in Bowes, successfully refurbished to retain period character while offering comfortable contemporary living. The flexible four-bedroom layout spans three floors, with exposed beams, original bread oven, cast-iron multi-fuel stove and high ceilings that create a strong sense of history and space. Communal gardens are extensive and well kept; a private courtyard, log store and timber shed provide useful outdoor storage and a sheltered spot for alfresco dining.
Practicalities are straightforward: mains water, drainage and electricity are connected, and oil-fired central heating serves radiators throughout. The property is offered as a long lease (999 years from 1981) with a share of the freehold; an annual service charge of about £1,308 covers building insurance, gardening and communal maintenance. The home sits close to village amenities and is five miles from Barnard Castle with good road links to the A1(M) and A66.
Buyers should note the material considerations tied to a listed building: any alteration will be subject to Listed Building controls and may limit what can be changed. The stone walls are original and assumed uninsulated, so there may be thermal improvement considerations. Heating relies on oil rather than mains gas, which influences running costs and service arrangements. Overall, the property will appeal to buyers seeking a characterful village home with generous grounds and period detail, who understand the responsibilities and potential constraints of a listed house.
