A rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse steeped in centuries of history ensconced in the heart of thriving market town Barnard Castle. The three-storey frontage was built as an inn The Hat and Feather in 1742, having several iterations as a public house, then a popular bed and breakfast, before becoming the substantial, comfortable family home it is today. The consequential property boasts many unique historical features revealing the tudor and medieval past of its rear wing.
