Thorngate, Barnard Castle, County Durham, DL12

An exceptional Grade II Listed end of terrace stone-built residence, exuding timeless character blended seamlessly with modern comforts. Once forming part of a former mill, this delightful three-bedroom townhouse is set across three thoughtfully arranged floors and beautifully combines period features with contemporary style.

Upon arrival, a solid wood front door opens directly into a welcoming living room, where windows to dual aspect flood the space with natural light. Original exposed beams, handsome wooden lintels, and a striking feature stone fireplace with a cast iron multi-fuel stove set the tone for this inviting home. Throughout the property, you'll find bespoke hardwood doors, stylish nickel column radiators, and double glazed sash windows, with elegant shutters to the ground floor.

The ground floor boasts stunning travertine marble flooring that leads through to a contemporary kitchen, featuring sleek gloss wall and floor units, quartz worktops, and a state-of-the-art range cooker complete with stainless steel splashback and chimney style extractor. Practical touches include an integrated fridge freezer, a handy pantry, significant understairs storage, and a part-glazed door providing access to a fully paved Indian sandstone courtyard—perfect for al fresco relaxation. The courtyard garden, offering considerable privacy, includes a brick-built store with power, lighting, and plumbing for laundry appliances—an ideal outdoor utility area.

Ascending to the first floor, the landing is bright and airy with dual rear-facing windows, exposed beams, and access to a stylish family bathroom. Here, modern tiling, a shower-over-bath, pedestal wash basin, and heated towel rail ensure comfort and luxury. The generously sized double bedroom on this floor is currently set up as a bedroom but has also served as an elegant sitting room, benefiting from dual aspect windows and a bespoke built-in bookcase.

The top floor is home to two further bedrooms, both finished to a high standard. The front-facing bedroom enjoys lovely views over Thorngate, while the third bedroom—currently arranged as a study—features fitted shelves and easy access to the fully boarded and carpeted loft, complete with Velux windows for extra natural light and additional eaves storage. A modern shower room, with tiled flooring, walk-in electric shower, and contemporary fittings, serves this floor.

The property is within easy reach of the town centre, the picturesque River Tees, and the Bowes Museum, a renowned hub for cultural and artistic exhibitions.
