River View is a five-star, owners-only park with no holiday lets, so it stays quiet and you get to know your neighbours. On site there’s a tavern with live bands, a full gym and a children’s playground.
Central heating and double glazing make it a home for every season. Barnard Castle, The Bowes Museum and riverside walks are all on the doorstep. Plots on The Heights rarely come up, so early viewing is recommended.
