5 Bedroom Apartment for Sale in Barnard Castle, England, United Kingdom

One cannot over-emphasise the vantage point of this property and just how stunning the location is, with its sweeping views across the North Pennines. Thought to be 1300 feet above sea level, even Heathcliff would have been blown away by these Wuthering Heights. Eight miles west of Barnard Castle, it is in an AONB, (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), and will have you spellbound from the moment you set foot on the grounds. Clever development of a viewing balcony in the master bedroom and the adaptation of a large window on the south side, make the view and the peace, a joy to behold. Nature lovers will have found their sanctuary here, as Bowes Moor is a SSSI, (Site of Special Scientific Interest). It is in an extensive area of moorland which supports significant breeding populations of a number of wading birds. The Pennine Way passes through the area, the landscape of which has changed very little since Roman Times. Many Roman artifacts have been found here including a Roman aqueduct and, being sparsely populated, is one of the few places in the country where it is enjoyed by astronomers for its dark skys.
