The Property
The Old Vicarage is a distinguished Grade II Listed property nestled in the historic town of Barnard Castle. Dating back to 1852, this magnificent property showcases a grand and timeless fa ade with stone mullioned windows and intricate stonework.

Spanning nearly 6,500 square feet, the property boasts an impressive seven reception rooms, offering a cohesive blend of historic charm and modern comfort.

A standout feature of the property is the award winning orangery, constructed with local stone by Glasper and Tunstall in 2010. This sunlit space, recognised by the Stone Federation of Great Britain, offers a serene retreat with delightful views of the gardens.

Inside, the interior is bright, spacious, and beautifully appointed, featuring thoughtfully considered d cor throughout, accented by lovely period features. Entering through the grand oak door, you are greeted by an impressive, vaulted entrance hall adorned with tasteful stained glass windows and a decorative fireplace.

The impressive country kitchen diner is bespoke, designed by Clive Christian and featuring top of the line appliances, an AGA, a kitchen island, and elegant cabinetry. Adjacent to the kitchen, a utility room, boot room, and WC provide additional practicality. The formal dining room, with its impressive Grade II Listed carved stone fireplace, provides an ideal setting for hosting dinner parties.

The main sitting room is a wonderfully inviting space, featuring an expansive bay window which beautifully frames the gardens and a tasteful fireplace as a focal point. A further sitting room, family room, and reception hall provide ample space to relax or entertain. The reception hall at the far end of the house features French doors that open out onto a small courtyard. Above this room, accessible via a spiral staircase, is a small studio built into the eaves.

Ascending to the first floor via the impressive open staircase, six well proportioned bedrooms are conveniently serviced by three bathrooms, ensuring ample comfort and privacy. The largest of the bedrooms is accompanied by its own bathroom and dressing room.

The property includes a coach house with previously approved building regulations now lapsed for a mezzanine to create an additional bedroom, ideal for dependent accommodation, an Airbnb, or a spacious office. Glebe Cottage, formerly the housekeeper s residence, could also be restored as independent property, complete with its own mains and gas supply.

Wrought iron electric gates at the entrance to the property lead to very extensive parking and a large double garage.
