Superb Detached Home


The Poplars is an impressive and substantial detached home, occupying a generous position within the picturesque and highly regarded Teesdale village of Mickleton.

Mickleton is a popular village with a strong and welcoming community, surrounded by beautiful countryside and offering a wonderful selection of walks directly from the village. The village benefits from a local pub, petrol station and an active community hall, while the surrounding area lies within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and includes a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

For a wider range of amenities, the nearby market town of Barnard Castle and the village of Middleton-in-Teesdale offer a good selection of shops, pubs, restaurants, schools and medical facilities. The area also enjoys excellent transport links, with convenient access to the A66, A1 and M6, together with railway stations at Kirkby Stephen and Darlington.

Built in the 1990s, The Poplars offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, with a practical layout ideally suited to family life.

On the ground floor a generous and welcoming reception hall provides an attractive first impression, with a turned staircase. The bright and spacious sitting room enjoys views over the rear garden and features doors opening directly onto the outside space, creating a natural connection between the house and garden.

There is a separate dining room, a good-sized family kitchen, useful utility room and downstairs cloakroom.

To the first floor are four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

Externally, the property is approached via a gated driveway providing ample parking for several vehicles. A substantial double garage offers excellent storage and parking, with additional space to the side providing the potential to create further parking if required.

The front garden is well screened by established hedging, while the enclosed rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a combination of patio, lawn and a productive vegetable plot.

The Poplars is a substantial and well-appointed detached home, offering generous accommodation, excellent outside space and a superb setting within the beautiful Teesdale countryside. Equally suited to family living or as an investment opportunity, this is a property with considerable appeal and scope.

It carries no notable rights, obligations, ground rents, or charges, and many have since converted to a form of freehold. The lease poses no issues for mortgages or insurance and forms part of the historic Mickleton Manor records dating back to the early 1600s.
