About this property

A charming, detached, character cottage, nestling in a quiet corner of the village green in peaceful Piercebridge, just 10 miles from popular Barnard Castle. Lovingly decorated and furnished whilst maintaining much of its original character and charm, this truly delightful property boasts exposed beams, a traditional sitting room with feature fireplace and cosy open fire and a lovely mature garden offering somewhere to relax during those warm summer evenings.

A short drive away is the fascinating market town of Barnard Castle, with its cobbled streets, quaint alleyways, The Bowes Museum of art and of course its dramatic Castle, while beautiful Raby Castle, the National Railway Museum and the High Force Falls are also nearby.
