Ashtree Park
BARNARD CASTLE
Ashtree Park
Ashtree Park is located to the north-east of the town and boasts a picturesque setting, nestled in rural surroundings, yet within easy reach of the quintessential market town of Barnard Castle.
When designing Ashtree Park, we knew that we wanted to create a new development that had people at the heart of it. The result is a desirable collection of three, four and five-bedroom homes to suit a range of buyers from those looking for their first home, professionals, retirees or downsizers and homes for local couples, growing families or those new to the area.
Ashtree Park will promote a real sense of pride in where people live. The attractive, landscaped
entrance, character homes and planned green, open spaces blend seamlessly with the area’s natural surroundings and offer residents the opportunity to make memories and build a secure, happy future. Above all this development will become a delightful place to call home for generations to come.
Stonebridge has been building homes and communities for over a decade and specialise in delivering quality, high specification properties. However, no amount of words can accurately express how a Stonebridge home looks and feels: you need to visit Ashtree Park to discover this for yourself.
Ashtree Park will prosper into a peaceful place for all to enjoy
Your home is not just a place where you live; it reflects you, and your personality. “
A DESIRABLE LOCATION offering a real sense of place
Stonebridge is well known for creating homes and communities that fit perfectly with their surroundings and these new homes at Ashtree Park have been carefully designed to complement the architecture in this thriving town. A desirable location and existing community have shaped this scheme. With a renewed emphasis on where we live and work, our homes and gardens have come into their own, offering a real sense of place.
Our homes feature carefully considered layouts and are designed in a choice of different sizes; all are built to a high specification with quality materials.
Whether you are looking to take your first step onto the property ladder, move to a larger family home or you are looking to downsize, a Stonebridge home offers everything you may need, and without compromise.
ASHTREE PARK
A HISTORIC TOWN
sitting on the beautiful River Tees
Barnard Castle, or ‘Barney’ as it is affectionately known, sits on the River Tees, and is overlooked by the imposing ruins of the Grade I listed Barnard Castle, and from which the town takes its name.
As well as the river, the town boasts lovely open spaces of greenery, with many opportunities for canoeing, angling, leisurely walks, cycling and generally enjoying this beautiful area.
The centre of the town, referred to as ‘Butter Mart’, features an octagonal building called the ‘Market Cross’, which was erected in 1847. Markets are still held here twice a week. The town has a fabulous selection of independent shops to satisfy the most discerning shopper. Whether you are looking for jewellery, interior decor, local crafts, or the finest foods, you will certainly be spoilt for choice with an
array of bespoke food retailers, offering local produce with providence.
And when you want some time off from the cooking, or just want a ‘spur of the moment’ meal out, there is a plentiful choice of pubs, restaurants, and cafes.
The town enjoys a wealth of antique shops and attracts visitors from far and wide to appreciate their wares. Enjoy meandering around the cobbled streets, surrounded by beautiful Georgian and Victorian architecture.
Barnard Castle can be accessed from four different gates: Bridgate, Galgate, Newgate and Thorngate. The town offers rail and road links in all directions for easy commuting and great days out, with railways stations at nearby Darlington and Bishop Auckland.

SUSTAINABILITY
we take our responsibilities seriously
There are so many reasons to consider investing in a new build property, not least for its reduced impact on the environment and its green credentials.
Due to the advanced build materials used, new build homes are much more thermally efficient and airtight. We fit modern, double glazed windows that are highly efficient in terms of insulation that reduces heat loss and saves on energy usage.
And it is not just a positive effect on the environment that a new home affords. According to new-homes. co.uk, new build can have a positive impact on your finances too with an estimated yearly saving of £890 on a 3-bedroom new build home, when compared with the energy costs of £1,670 for a Victorian 3-bedroom semi-detached home with some modern improvements.
Stonebridge take climate change seriously. At Ashtree Park all properties come with an electric vehicle charging point, at no extra cost. The charging point future proofs your home and allows you to charge your car when it is not in use, in the same way you would a mobile phone.
All our homes are fitted with a security alarm, however, to provide an even greater sense of security, and further enhance your energy efficiency, Stonebridge offer Hive as standard with the option to add on other elements including, CCTV, dimmable lights, and radiator controls.
In addition, 100% of our lights are energy efficient, and our homes include dual flush toilets.
The attractive, landscaped entrance, character homes and green, open spaces blend seamlessly with the area’s natural surroundings. “
