Description

A truly unique one bedroom mezzanine apartment located within the converted Former Barnard Castle Second School. Set in an elevated position, this spacious home boasts outstanding architectural features and offers breathtaking views across the scenic Demesnes and down towards the River Tees.

Entered via a secure communal entrance with an intercom system, the apartment opens to a welcoming hallway with inset lighting and a side window filling the space with natural light. The utility room doubles as a convenient shower room, complete with walk-in shower, handwash basin, WC, and plumbing for a washing machine.


At the heart of this remarkable residence is a generous open plan living and dining area. Here, a stunning multi-paned feature window frames picturesque views of the surrounding countryside, while high ceilings add to the sense of space and airiness. A beautiful oak staircase with a glass balustrade leads to the mezzanine bedroom above. The kitchen, smartly integrated off the living space, is well equipped with a suite of fitted units, integrated appliances including fan oven, gas hob, fridge and freezer, and plumbing for a dishwasher.


Upstairs, the large mezzanine bedroom enjoys a peaceful outlook through the feature window and offers ample storage with built-in cupboards and wardrobes. A private shower room is fitted with a mains-fed walk-in shower, vanity unit, WC, storage cupboard, and a heated towel rail.


Externally, this property benefits from its own allocated parking space, access to a communal terrace—perfect for enjoying the evening sun—and use of a secure communal outbuilding for extra storage.

The iconic Bowes Museum is just a short stroll away, offering world-class exhibitions and beautiful parkland. Nature lovers will appreciate riverside walks along the Tees and the wealth of cycling and hiking routes in the surrounding countryside. Local independent shops, inviting cafés, and well-regarded restaurants are all within easy reach, with transport links providing access to nearby Darlington and the stunning landscapes of the Durham Dales.
