Description

8a Thorngate is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully preserved Grade II Listed Georgian residence, comprising six self-contained apartments. Originally forming the guest/domestic wing of the distinguished Thorngate House, this exceptional property is steeped in period character and charm.


Throughout the building, you'll discover an array of original features: high ceilings, elegant architraves, intricate spindle staircases, and authentic internal doors. Many windows are adorned with traditional wooden shutters, while the staircases enjoy their own dedicated windows, flooding the hallways with natural light and offering delightful rooftop vistas.


Inside, the property is thoughtfully arranged across three spacious floors. Each apartment showcases its own unique layout, with three currently let, and three untenanted—ideal for investors, or anyone interested in short-term holiday lets. All flats are sold furnished, complete with kitchen appliances, and the development meets all current government regulations for rental accommodation.


The grand front portico sets the tone for this impressive residence, welcoming visitors into a communal entrance vestibule. From here, attractive communal staircases lead to the individual apartments, each featuring double bedrooms, modern kitchens, and either spacious living rooms or airy open-plan living spaces. All the apartments have bath or shower rooms, and useful storage throughout enhances everyday practicality.


Externally, residents enjoy access to a communal bin store and individual gas meters, discreetly housed behind timber gates at the front of the building. There is on street parking available on Thorngate. 


Barnard Castle itself is renowned for its thriving independent shops and eateries, the magnificent Bowes Museum, and charming weekly markets. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to the River Tees, the rolling countryside of Teesdale, and walking trails, while the historic Barnard Castle ruins and nearby Raby Castle provide a glimpse into the region's heritage. 


Excellent transport connections link the town to Darlington and the broader North East. Brimming with opportunity and timeless appeal, 8a Thorngate is a truly unique prospect in one of County Durham's most desirable locations. Arrange a viewing today to fully appreciate the character, flexibility and investment potential this special property has to offer.
