About
**A Unique Four Bedroom Detached Bungalow in a Stunning Semi-Rural Setting** Set well back from the B6278 in a semi-rural location, this spacious detached bungalow offers a rare opportunity to own a truly unique property with a fascinating history.
Once an isolation hospital, this bungalow has been cleverly extended and thoughtfully designed to create a generous and versatile family home, surrounded by fields and mature garden.
Approached via a shared lane and through gated access, the property boasts a sizeable gravelled driveway with ample parking for several vehicles, as well as a detached garage/workshop.
A large front garden, beautifully manicured and bordered by mature hedgerows and shrubs, invite you in, through the covered arched entrance, opening into an inviting reception hall with wood-effect flooring and elegant detailing.
The main hall features spotlights, coving and a dado rail, with access to the loft—ideal for additional storage. Living and entertaining spaces abound.
A formal dining room at the front, complete with fire surround and French doors, flows through to the impressive living room.
Here, high ceilings, dual-aspect windows and an inglenook fireplace with rustic surround and multi-fuel stove create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that is perfect for family gatherings.
There are four double bedrooms, one of which is fitted with bedroom furniture and enjoys ample natural light from dual-aspect windows and two others benefitting from built-in storage cupboards and views over the front garden.
The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and is further enhanced by a modern en suite shower room, and patio doors that open directly to the rear of the property.
The family bathroom features a panelled bath, separate shower, cabinetted handwash basin, low level wc and classic tiled splashbacks, The kitchen boasts a range of wooden wall and floor units, granite drainer Belfast sink, plumbing for dishwasher, space for an American-style fridge freezer, and room for a dining table and chairs — perfect for family meals/casual dining.

The south-facing front garden is laid predominantly to lawn, enclosed by mature hedgerow for complete privacy, and bordered by open fields.
Multiple patio areas, including a raised terrace, provide plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, al-fresco dining, and soaking up the peaceful ambiance.
Despite its peaceful setting, the property remains within convenient reach of the nearby market town of Barnard Castle, which offers a range of shops, eateries, and primary and secondary schools.
