Situated within the picturesque village of Bowes, this appealing three-bedroom property offers a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a home in a peaceful rural setting, whilst remaining well-placed for access to Barnard Castle and the surrounding Yorkshire and Durham Dales.
The property is offered chain-free and provides well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, with a particularly attractive large conservatory providing an excellent additional reception space and enjoying views towards the surrounding countryside.
On entering, the welcoming entrance hall leads through to the principal living accommodation. The lounge features a fireplace with an open fire, creating a cosy focal point, while double wooden doors connect through to the dining room, providing a versatile space for both everyday living and entertaining.
The fitted kitchen offers a range of wall and base units, work surfaces, electric oven and hob, with a useful utility room adjoining. From here, the property opens into the impressive conservatory, with French doors opening onto the side garden.
To the first floor are three bedrooms, two of which enjoy views over the surrounding countryside, and a family bathroom fitted with a bath and overhead shower.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front is a mature garden enclosed by a wall and approached via gates onto a gravelled driveway, providing parking. The south-facing rear garden is a particularly stunning feature, incorporating a patio and lawn, alongside mature planting, greenhouse, summerhouse and water butts. The garden, with fields behind, enjoys breath-taking views over open countryside, creating an attractive and peaceful outdoor space. This is an ideal place to reach Swaledale and Kirkby Stephen, as a cyclist or motor cyclist. As a walker, you can pick up the Pennine Way just a few miles down the road. Tan Hill, the highest pub in England and about 8 miles away, is an excellent establishment enroute for cyclists and walkers. Meanwhile, there are two excellent establishments in the village of Bowes itself. There is an easy cross-moor road, taking you to Cotherstone in Teesdale where you can access a local Reservoir, an observatory and a sailing club. Teesdale is blessed with further excellent establishments such as The Rose and Crown in Romaldkirk and The Forresters in Middleton-in-Teesdale.
The property sits just under open moorland where many rare species of birds can be spotted. This property is ideal for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The property is close to major routes, Scotch Corner and the A1 making commuting straight forward.
Bowes is ideally positioned as a gateway to the Yorkshire and Durham Dales, making this an excellent location for those wishing to enjoy the surrounding countryside, walking and cycling routes and generally a rural lifestyle. At 4 Low Road, all this can be achieved whilst retaining convenient access to the amenities of nearby Barnard Castle. Barnard Castle is 4.5 miles away. This is a medieval town with a bustling high street, which contains a range of excellent shops and amenities, a large doctors surgery and excellent primary and senior schools. There are many cultural and sporting outlets in which to get involved, from The Bowes Museum in the town centre, to The Castle Players, which put on a multitude of shows most of the year around. Families and children thrive here. Don't miss your opportunity to invest in the area in this beautful spot.
