3 bed cottage to rent

Newbiggin, Barnard Castle DL12

Summary

Pattinson Estate Agents are delighted to offer to let Fair View, a beautifully presented three-bedroom stone-built cottage situated within the picturesque rural hamlet of Newbiggin. Renovated and modernised while retaining its period charm, this welcoming home combines comfortable accommodation with countryside views, outdoor space and private parking.

The spacious living/dining room forms the heart of the home, with two generous windows and a glazed stable-style door providing natural light and direct garden access. A striking stone fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove creates a cosy focal point, complemented by exposed stonework, slate flooring and neutral dcor. The room offers ample space for both seating and dining.

The galley kitchen features contemporary dark-toned wall and base units, contrasting speckled worktops and practical preparation space. Dual-aspect windows create a bright atmosphere, while tiled flooring and ceiling spotlights complete the room.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, comprising two comfortable doubles with countryside views and a well-proportioned single overlooking the rear. Wooden flooring and neutral tones continue throughout, with the principal bedroom also featuring an exposed brick fireplace and timber mantel.

The family bathroom offers a modern white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin. Wall panelling provides a fresh finish, while a rear window allows natural light into the space.

Externally, traditional dry-stone walls enclose a low-maintenance courtyard with space for outdoor seating. The garden enjoys a peaceful setting with mature trees, established hedging and views across neighbouring fields. Stone steps and paved pathways provide access around the cottage, with pedestrian access from the roadside via steps leading down to the property.

A gravelled driveway provides one private parking space, with additional shared residents' parking along the lane.

Situated in the scenic Teesdale countryside, Newbiggin offers access to countryside walks and outdoor pursuits, with attractions including High Force nearby. The market town of Barnard Castle provides shops, services and everyday amenities, while the A66 offers connections towards the A1(M) and M6.

This characterful cottage offers an excellent opportunity for those seeking a rural home to rent.

- An affordability assessment to ensure applicant's income will sufficiently cover the rental payments.
- To pass the affordability check, each applicant's gross annual basic income (including benefits and pensions) must be at least 30 times the monthly rental amount (36 times for Ellinson properties). Eg If the rent is 500 pcm, applicants would need to earn 15,000 as an annual pension or basic salary (excluding commission/bonus) before tax or other deductions were made.
- Each applicant's affordability is assessed individually against the criteria.
- Self- will require an accountant's reference and should have accounts for a minimum of two years. Net profit will be assessed against the affordability requirement of 30 times the monthly rental amount.

- Homeownership checks (only if you are a homeowner) confirming your mortgage payments are up to date.
