This is an ultra-modern, low maintenance property, with a high level of security. The property is accessed from within the complex in which you have a space to park. Lifts and stairs are available to reach the property from the ground floor.

A large, attractive open-plan lounge, is the focal point. Attached to the lounge there is a tasteful, modern kitchen, with a good range of facilities which would suit most professionals. Recently upgraded, the property benefits from newly-laid floorings. Bathrooms are on-trend with all mod cons including an automatic mirror-demister. The bedrooms are a good size and can be used for a multitude of purposes, including office space, thereby facilitating a work-from-home set up. Connectivity including "Gigabit Fibre" to platforms and networks is excellent. There is plenty of storage space, and a lot of flexibility on offer here, which would suit a whole range of different needs.

Thorngate Mill whilst still majestic from the outside, was converted internally to sixteen flats, and has the enormous advantage of off-street gated parking. The property lies almost in the dead centre of town, albeit down by the river, so private parking is a luxury.

The penthouse has, as you would expect, an excellent position with some lovely views over the River Tees and the town roof tops. Many of the original features of this old mill have been preserved, making the property extra special.

Thorngate Mill lies a short walk away from the high street, where there are a multitude of bakeries, cafes, restaurants, and supermarkets. It is also close to riverside walks, including a circular route to Egglestone Abbey, and the Teesdale Way.

Of particular note is the close proximity to major trunk roads, facilitating a commute to Darlington. It takes about 25 minutes to drive to Darlington Station, to park the car in a secure monitored car park there, and to catch the express train to London Kings Cross. It is 15 minutes drive to the A1, making this an excellent location for professionals seeking a good work/home balance.

Barnard Castle is an architectural delight with its abbey, its castle, listed buildings and bridges. Steeped in history, there is a strong medieval thread, and the remnants of the Castle Keep are all around you.

The lifestyle in Barnard Castle is second-to-none with a vibrant and cultured community rarely found. There is much to do in the vicinity of Thorngate Mill, to be enjoyed either as a family, or if you are single. Immerse yourself in art at The Town Hall and at "The Bowes", our purpose-built Arts Museum. Or, if you would like to try your hand at treading the boards, then look no further than The Castle Players, the well-established amateur dramatics club, where you can start from set-painting, and end up a director! If you are musical there is The Teesdale Operatic Society and a number of choirs including St. Mary's Community Choir and The Choral Society, who perform at The Bowes and Durham Cathedral.

If you love sport or exercise, then you are welcome to join a great many outlets, including rugby, cricket, golf, tennis and athletics to name but a few. The local Parkrun is only 400 metres away!

The schools in Barnard Castle are famously good, including a wide selection of primary and secondary schools in the town and also the wider area within Teesdale.

Nicest of all, you are a very short walk from a local pub which serves food and has a garden right under the castle wall. Additionally, if you are a wine guru, there is a sophisticated wine bar within a very short distance.

Don't miss your opportunity to grab this positively perfect place. Call now for a viewing.
