The property

Churchill Cottage is a pleasant pet-friendly cottage set in Bishop Auckland, County Durham.

Offering a relaxed base for couples, friends or a small family exploring this historic part of the North East, with an enclosed garden and amenities close by, it suits easy-going stays with time to unwind.

Pull up and park before stepping inside, where the hallway is finished in calming yellow hues that set a relaxed tone as you leave coats and shoes behind.

From here, move into the sitting room, a welcoming space centred around a feature fireplace, with armchairs and a sofa arranged for conversation, and a wall-mounted TV ready for evenings in, with original artwork by Sarah Churchill displayed throughout the cottage, adding character and a strong sense of place.

The kitchen and dining area offers a sociable setting for everyday living, with rich blue hues adding depth, a rustic wooden dining table encouraging unhurried meals, and space to prepare food with ease, supported by a washing machine that keeps longer stays running smoothly.

A door that leads out to the patio, where a picnic bench provides a simple spot to sit outside with a drink, enjoy fresh air or let the dog wander safely nearby.

Head upstairs to reach the bedrooms, where the layout offers flexible sleeping arrangements.

One zip-and-link bedroom is arranged with a sofa and armchair, creating a relaxed retreat for reading or unwinding at the end of the day.

The second zip and link bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom fitted with a bath and walk-in shower, basin and WC, offering a private space to start and end the day at your own pace, while an additional separate WC adds everyday convenience.

With a shop and pub close by and the River Wear nearby for gentle walks.

Where you’ll be staying

BISHOP AUCKLAND

Durham 11 miles;

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.
