4 BED 3 STOREY PERIOD RESIDENCE - MUST BE VIEWED 

It is with great pleasure that Rea Estates offer to the sales market this substantial 4 Bedroom 3 Storey Period Property, set in an elevated position in a much sought after area of Bishop Auckland, boasting far reaching open views across the Wear Valley.

The town itself which is home to the spectacular open air night show ‘Kynren' an Epic Tale of England, offers everyday professional, retail and recreational services.

For the commuter, the A1(M) provides easy access to the major regional centres of Teeside, County Durham and North Yorkshire. East Coast mainline rail services are available from Darlington and from Newcastle.

The surrounding rural area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and the property is well-placed for the Durham Dales and both the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks.

The property has been sympathetically refurbished over the last few years, retaining a wealth of original period features whilst maintaining a considerable amount of charm and appeal throughout.

Warmed via Gas Central Heating and benefitting from uPVC Double Glazing, the internal layout briefly comprises, Entrance Lobby, Hallway with staircase rising to the first floor, Rear Lobby with door opening to the rear garden, a Lounge in which to sit and enjoy the stunning views, separate Dining Room and Fitted Kitchen.

To the first floor Two Double Bedrooms, a Family Bathroom and a Shower Room/Wc.

A staircase rises to the second floor landing which provides access to a further Two Double Bedrooms.

Occupying an extremely generous plot the property has a delightful rear garden with illuminated water feature, two areas of raised decking, one of which has access to a timber framed Bar/Summerhouse, providing ideal spots for outdoor dining and entertaining. Lawned garden have well stocked flower borders containing an array of mature plants, trees and shrubs.

In our opinion period properties of this size in such a sought after location are rarely available to the sales market and therefore only an internal inspection will truly suffice to fully appreciate the accommodation that is on offer.
