DISCERNING buyers looking for a property that could be used either as a stylish family home or – as at present – a B&B, should make sure to view this elegant townhouse in Newgate, on the outskirts of Barnard Castle.

Extending to four floors, it is exceptionally well presented throughout, and includes a number of traditional and character features.

Presently a successful B&B with a 5* Gold rating, the property could easily be reconfigured to turn it back into a family home without it losing any of its charm.

Briefly, the accommodation comprises a ground floor hallway, family bathroom with large corner bath and double French doors to the rear garden, plus an en-suite bedroom with a feature fireplace. Off the first floor landing are two bedrooms – one with an ensuite shower room – plus a cloakroom, while upstairs again is the sitting room/ kitchen. Partially panelled, partially exposed brick work, and with timber flooring, this space encompasses a handcrafted kitchen with beechwood work surfaces and a comfortable sitting room area.

The property also has two cellars which are currently used as a laundry room and storage area.

To the rear of the property is a patio-style garden with rear access.

This Newgate townhouse is on the market at offers in the region of £249,950. For more information or to arrange a viewing, please contact Addisons Chartered Surveyors on 01833 638094.
