      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Aswell as being set in a large, beautiful garden, Brook House itself has a lot of living space. From all of this space, there flows an enormous amount of flexibility. Currently, four bedrooms consist of two double bedrooms and a large office upstairs. Meanwhile, downstairs there is a further double bedroom and a downstairs shower room, designed to support older members of the family. It is clear that multi-generational living could easily be accommodated.  Alternatively, the downstairs bedroom would convert to another reception room such as a second sitting room, dining room or office. The possibilities are endless, making the house very adaptable to your ever-changing needs. 

When you first enter the grounds of the property and walk up to the front door, there are so many beautiful features that you feel heady trying to take them all in. From the original features of the main house, including the sash windows, the restored and cleaned slate roof, characterful front door, mature wisteria, to the more recent extension, there is surprise and delight at every step. The house then flows beautifully, making it very condusive to contemporary living. 

As you walk in through the front door into the hallway, you are greeted by the warmth of the stove in the chimney breast, and a beautiful tiled floor.

The recently-installed fitted kitchen is a high quality one,  and is equipped for the most discerning cook. The focal point of the kitchen is the Esse range. The kitchen is a joy to spend time in with the percolating warmth of this range, allowing your creative side to flow. Beautiful original flagstones, both enhance the country feel and lend a practical hand to the luxury you find yourself in. 

Quality and practicality are a theme that runs right through to the utility area, and into the breakfast room adjacent to the kitchen. The extension to the original building which opens out through new patio doors into the garden, houses an open-plan lounge and dining area, with a multi-fuel stove. With a pitched ceiling, exposed beams, natural, light-and-airy colour schemes, it is simply a delightful space where a good-sized family can thrive.  

There are three luxury bathrooms, two of which are downstairs, making life easy if you have a busy family. Storage and parking are a priority for a family, and Brook House has adapted loft spaces and off-street parking for 3-4 vehicles.

Brook House is in a very popular village, and 8 minutes drive to Barnard Castle where your children can attend one of the many highly-rated primary and secondary schools. Giving you even more choice, Cotherstone itself has a very successful primary school.

The Barnard Castle area is not only beautiful but has a thriving community. It is an excellent environment in which you and your children will flourish. There are many sporting outlets including tennis, cricket athletics and golf. There is a leisure centre that has a gym and swimming pool and offers a wide range of classes for all levels of fitness and/or ability.  There are artistic and musical outlets such as the Castle Players amateur dramatic group, Teesdale Operatic Society, Choral Society and so on. 

There is an excellent work-from-home facility at the property with broadband connectivity being good. Darlington is approximately 40 minutes drive away. There is a mainline railway station at Darlington, from where you can catch the express service to London Kings Cross, Durham or Newcastle. Supporting this commute there is a new car park at the station with CCTV in operation. 

This is truly wonderful family home where you can have the best of both worlds - a connection with urban life and with the countryside. Please call Anthony Jones Properties on 01833 523521 for more information.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[From the outset, this beautiful Georgian Grade 2-listed property looks to have great presence and style. The house has fantastic kerb appeal with its beautiful bay windows and Georgian fa?ade. Inside these bay windows are a number of beautiful window seats from which to watch the world go by. Situated within Galgate, one of Barnard Castle's most sought-after residential locations, this townhouse offers a rare blend of period character, modern comfort and a well-organised lifestyle. It would suit young professionals, a retired couple or even a first time buyer. Equally this property is an excellent investment opportunity, is equipped with new fire doors of solid oak, and is ready to be rented out. 

118 Galgate is different to some high quality properties in that it has no garden space but does have a designated external dustbin area. Having no garden could be a distinct advantage either as a low maintenance rental or, if privately owned, it simplifies its upkeep.  The property is also very close to beautiful parkland and the castle itself, and therefore, getting out into an open space, is easy.  

Arranged across three floors, the home has been thoughtfully updated, while retaining its original charm, creating a welcoming space designed for everyday living.

From the moment you step inside, the quality and attention to detail are immediately apparent. Inset lighting, prime materials and tasteful d?cor bring forth a warm high quality finish. Feature fireplaces, that run throughout the property, add character and a sense of heritage that complements the Georgian architecture.

The living room provides a comfortable retreat, with soft carpeting underfoot, and an electric faux fire delivers a delightful focal point. It's a space that's perfectly suited to relaxed evenings and weekend downtime.

Leading through to the second reception room - the kitchen/dining room - this feels very much like the heart of the home. A log burner creates a welcoming atmosphere in which to dine, while the proportions of the room allow it to be adapted into a space within which you can entertain.

To the rear, the new fitted kitchen has been designed with practicality in mind, is a joy to work in and boasts a very attractive, contemporary finish. With a range of wall and base units, and its serene colour scheme, an AEG induction hob, electric oven and wood flooring, it offers an inviting and functional space in which to cook. From here, access leads into a useful utility room, keeping laundry and household tasks neatly tucked away.

The first floor offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both positioned to the front of the property which is south- facing. These offer a range of purposes, including office space or guest accommodation. The 'family' bathroom is also located on the first floor. Very pleasing to the eye, it is fitted with a contemporary bath and an over-the-bath shower arrangement.

The top floor provides a wonderful sense of privacy, making it ideal as a principal bedroom or an office/studio retreat. This third bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and is complemented by a second bathroom with a shower.

Galgate remains a particularly popular location, thanks to its excellent access to everyday amenities. Within a few hundred paces it is possible to buy freshly-baked bread and to stock up at general food shops and delicatessens. Meet friends at weekends at the numerous cafes  and coffee shops, or visit gift shops and antique shops. The substantial doctors' surgery is 5 minutes walk away and this surgery is supported by a range of hospitals, covering all manner of NHS services. 

The town and community are extremely vibrant and there is plenty to get involved in. From a sports perspective there are a number of clubs including cricket, golf, tennis, athletic,  rugby and swimming clubs. From a cultural point of view, it is possible to get involved in the arts, music and drama.  "The Bowes" is Barnard Castle's own Victorian purpose-built Museum which is stashed full of art work and antiquities. It is set in superb gardens, themselves a joy to either walk or run in. Within these gardens lies the tennis club, and The Bowls Club. There is the Community Choir, The Choral Society and the Teesdale Operatic Society in which to practice singing, and if you would like to try your hand at treading the boards, look no further than The Castle Players, the amateur dramatics group who produce a number of plays throughout the year. In the town hall, known as The Witham, there is ample theatre space for all manner of productions, alongside a range of gift and art shops.

Meanwhile, Barnard Castle's historic town centre, and riverside paths are set close to an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 

The property sits on the North side of the town, enabling commuters to drive towards major road links and trains, without going through the centre of the town. Darlington provides a mainline railway station with a direct express service to London King's Cross. A new car park near the station, which has CCTV in operation enables train passengers to park up and leave their vehicles in a secure area.   

This charming Georgian townhouse presents an ideal opportunity for those seeking character and an easy lifestyle in one of Barnard Castle's most desirable addresses. There is ample on-street parking and large under-the-eaves storage to be found at this property. This is a home that has been carefully refurbished and is ready to be enjoyed by its next owners.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Whilst "peaceful" is the first word that comes to mind when trying to encapsulate this idyllic property, "practical" is also on point. Situated in the pretty village of Whorlton near Barnard Castle you would be 5 minutes from Barnard Castle's town centre, a decent supermarket or the doctors' surgery.  From a commuting perspective you would be 20 minutes from the A1 and 25 minutes from Darlington and consequently have access to a mainline train to London Kings Cross.

Barnard Castle is a thriving town with a busy, interesting community. Lifestyle-wise whether on your own or bringing family to the area, there is a lot to get involved in. From an array of sports clubs, theatre groups and musical societies, getting out into the surrounding countryside, visiting The famous Bowes Museum or Darlington's "Hopetown" Museum, there is an absolute wealth of interesting activities to become immersed in.   

Whorlton village, thought to date back to Norman times,  sits on an attractive meander of the River Tees where there used to be a ferry crossing and there still is a ferryman's cottage.  But Whorlton is probably known best for its historic suspension bridge, built 193 years ago, with the original wrought iron cables supporting a wooden platform. The bridge offers locals a shortcut river crossing to the A66 in today's world, but was originally built for horses to carry coal from coal mines in the county. The toll house still exists and brought in fees up to 1914. Winston Churchill stood on the bridge in 1942 to watch soldiers practicing the art of crossing the river and scaling the cliffs.

The property, has a pretty, well-tended garden at the front which currently has a huge selection of mature plants. This garden has an attractive painted seating area where cushions can be deployed at appropriate moments to bask in sunshine. This offers a secluded, highly-appealing suntrap and a nice area in which to eat outside.  The property has huge curb appeal, with its traditional look, stone-built walls and pan-tiled roof which is so typical of this beautiful village. There is a very decent amount of storage at the property with a matching substantial stone outbuilding with pan-tiled roof. There is also a secluded private parking space at the property, 

As you enter through the front door into the lounge, natural floorboards, a multi-fuel stove and the light and airy decor gives a sense of clean lines, and serenity. There is a lovely, neutral colour scheme going on, allowing the natural colour of the wood to stand out. In essence the colours suit the house, and it feels ready to move into. The kitchen benefits from being fitted and well-organised and operations there are supported by the nearby outbuilding which is set up to perfectly house the laundry.

Ascending from the kitchen to the first floor there is a spacious stairwell which is very well lit with natural daylight. At the half way point there is a half landing and there is an attractive bookcase built into the wall.The bathroom is spacious, and easily accommodates a bath, a full cubicle shower and showcases a beautiful original fireplace. Upstairs all rooms have cottage-style doors and all windows are traditional wooden sash and double-glazed.
