No 2 Townhouse

About this property

No 2 Townhouse is a pleasant pet-friendly abode in nestled in the heart of Bishop Auckland, Durham. Perfect for two couples, a small family or friend, boasting private parking, an enclosed yard and proximity to amenities. Pull up and park before stepping inside, where the hallway immediately sets the tone with Victorian arches framing the space and artwork lining the walls as you shed coats and shoes. From here, move through to the sitting room, a room defined by its high ceiling and bay window, where rich colours bring depth, a sofa and armchair are arranged around a feature fireplace, and the space feels well suited to unwinding at the end of the day. The dining room provides a sociable alternative, finished with nineteenth-century tiled flooring underfoot, a sofa and dining seating for shared meals, and a mounted TV that allows the room to flex easily between dining and relaxed evenings in. The galley kitchen is laid out for everyday self catering, offering a practical flow for preparing meals, with direct access out to the rear yard that makes stepping outside simple throughout the day. Upstairs, the bedrooms are finished in plush hues that create restful spaces to retreat to, with one bedroom also featuring a sofa for reading or slowing the pace before bed. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower over, basin and WC, providing a comfortable space for everyday routines. Outside, the enclosed yard offers a straightforward outdoor area for sitting out with a drink or letting the dog potter safely nearby. No 2 Townhouse that combines characterful interiors with a convenient location in Bishop Auckland.

Bishop Auckland is a busy market town, 11 miles to the south of Durham and is home to the Gothic palace of Auckland Castle and deer park, a 900 year old medieval hunting lodge and grounds, once home to the Prince Bishop’s of England. Bishop Auckland offers a thriving arts and cultural scene with a cinema, theatre and arts complex. There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the town centre and an abundance of shops to peruse. On the outskirts of the town you can discover the secrets of the largest Roman Fort in the county at Binchester or perhaps book a night at Kynren, a spectacular night show depicting the history of England, seen through the eyes of Arthur, a 10 year old boy from the North East, (opening July 2016) and marvel at the pyrotechnics, stunning lighting and water effects. There is a scenic railway line which runs from Bishop Auckland to Stanhope. It was purchased quite recently by Jonathan Ruffer the man behind the Auckland Project and instrumental in bringing Kynren to Bishop Auckland. The city of Durham is just a short drive north with an array of shops, pubs and restaurants, and a little further will take you to the Roman town of Chester-le-Street or Beamish Museum. A little further afield you can discover the Durham Dales, Newcastle upon Tyne, Hadrian's Wall, the Heritage Coast, Cragside at Rothbury and the North York Moors; there’s something for everyone.
