Description

Situated in the sought-after Ashtree Park Development on the edge of picturesque Barnard Castle, this stunning four-bedroom detached family home on Merlin Drive showcases contemporary elegance, refined upgrades, and spacious living throughout, all within a tranquil semi-rural setting.

Immaculately presented and benefiting from the remainder of its Premier Guarantee warranty, the property has been thoughtfully enhanced with premium finishes, including oak cottage-style doors, luxurious Amtico oak-effect flooring, and sleek Silestone work surfaces in both the kitchen and utility room. The bespoke Shaker-style kitchen is a chef's delight, complete with high-end Bosch appliances—including an induction hob with extractor fan above, warming drawer, wine cooler, and double oven —integrated seamlessly alongside a Quooker instant hot water tap, and an expansive central island ideal for informal dining and entertaining – not to mention a walk-in pantry providing additional practical storage to the kitchen


From the welcoming entrance hallway with its modern composite door, all ground floor rooms radiate with light and space. A well-proportioned living room and a dedicated office, both featuring stylish box windows, offer serene spaces for relaxation and productivity. The cloakroom boasts high-spec fittings, while the utility room offers further storage and direct access to the outside.


The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining area. Here, bi-fold doors span the rear elevation, seamlessly connecting indoors to a beautifully landscaped garden—perfect for summer gatherings. Step outside onto the Indian stone patio, where raised planters, a pagoda-covered dining area, and pebbled garden spaces create a peaceful retreat. The property also provides a driveway and single garage with an upgraded electric door, ensuring convenience and security.


Upstairs, four spacious double bedrooms all benefit from bespoke fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom enjoys far-reaching countryside views and an elegant en suite shower room, while the main family bathroom is equally well-appointed with luxurious finishing touches.


Barnard Castle is renowned for its historic charm, vibrant market town atmosphere, and the iconic castle from which it takes its name. Residents can enjoy riverside walks along the picturesque Tees, world-class exhibitions at The Bowes Museum, a selection of excellent shops, cafes, and schooling options, plus easy proximity to the open landscapes of the Durham Dales and North Pennines. Good road links make regional commutes straightforward.

This exceptional home combines peaceful semi-rural living with the convenience of all local amenities close at hand. Internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that Merlin Drive has to offer. Arrange your viewing today to discover this beautifully finished property for yourself.
