Description
This Grade I-listed property, Blagraves, is the oldest residence in Barnard Castle and the second oldest building in the town, dating back to before 1482. With a rich history, it has been sensitively restored to maintain its period charm while also being suitable for modern living. The property features a ground-floor commercial space, previously used as a café/antiques shop, and a spacious three/four-bedroom home with a grand dining room and impressive stone fireplace. The building has been home to many notable figures, including Oliver Cromwell, and has a fascinating history that is reflected in its many period features, including 17th-century bay windows, an 18th-century staircase, and original timber beams. The property is situated in the heart of Barnard Castle's antiques district, surrounded by stunning countryside and close to the North Pennines and Yorkshire Dales Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With permission in place to create a studio annexe, Blagraves offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history.
