The property

No 4 Townhouse is a charming pet-friendly townhouse resting in the heart of Bishop Auckland, Durham.

Suited to two couples, a small family or friends, this abode boasts private parking, an enclosed yard and proximity to amenities.

Pull up and park before stepping inside, where the entrance hallway immediately introduces the home’s character, 19th‑century floor tiles running underfoot as coats are hung and bags are set down.

The sense of a Victorian townhouse is clear from the outset, offering a glimpse into the style of late‑nineteenth‑century town living.

From the hallway, move through to the living/dining room, a space arranged for both gathering and unwinding.

Warm hues frame the room, while the bay window draws in daylight, making it an easy place to settle at any time of day.

Sofas provide a natural spot to stretch out after walks through town, while the dining table sits close by, allowing meals and conversation to flow easily into the evening.

The electric fire offers added warmth during cooler months, making the room well-suited to lingering over dinner or settling in for a quiet night indoors.

To the rear of the property, the kitchen is laid out for everyday self‑catering, with a practical flow that supports slow mornings and relaxed evenings alike.

Set the kettle on, make use of the oven and hob for home‑cooked meals.

A door leads directly into the enclosed rear yard, making it easy to step out with muddy boots after riverside walks or to give the dog some fresh air before returning indoors.

Upstairs, the bedrooms provide two distinct but equally inviting retreats.

The first king-size bedroom is finished in green tones and includes a sofa, offering a quiet place to read or ease into the evening before bed.

The second king-size bedroom brings contrast through pink walls and a pair of armchairs, creating a space suited to slow mornings or moments spent unwinding at the end of the day.

The bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower over, basin and WC, allowing you to rinse off after a long walk or sink into a warm soak before turning in for the night.

Set on a quiet road within easy reach of local shops and pubs, with the river close by for gentle walks and the heritage attractions surrounding Auckland Palace just a short walk away.

No 4 Townhouse brings together period character and a central Bishop Auckland setting.

Bishop Auckland Collection

The Bishop Auckland Collection consists of a thoughtfully curated selection of eight holiday cottages and townhouses resting in the heart of Bishop Auckland, Durham. This collection offers WiFi throughout, pet friendly accommodation, Smart TVs, private parking at each property and enclosed gardens or yards, making it a flexible base for couples, families and groups of friends wishing to stay close while enjoying their own space. Set within Bishop Auckland’s conservation area, the surroundings encourage exploration on foot, with historic streets, riverside paths and cultural landmarks unfolding naturally throughout the day.

Treat your loved ones to a meal out at El Castillo, where Spanish inspired dishes are served in a relaxed, sociable setting, or choose The Oak Room Restaurant at Park Head Hotel for carefully prepared dining in refined surroundings, both offering a fitting end to days spent exploring.

Make the most of your location by immersing yourself in the attractions surrounding Auckland Palace. Wander the Walled Garden, where seasonal planting, sheltered paths and quiet corners invite unhurried moments outdoors. Spend time in the Deer Park, enjoying open views and the chance to encounter the resident deer as they move through the landscape. Step inside the Palace itself to explore its historic rooms and layered past, before continuing to the Faith Museum, where belief, reflection and shared stories are explored through thoughtful exhibitions. Discover international art and striking architecture within the Spanish Gallery, then descend into the Mining Art Gallery, where powerful works bring the region’s industrial heritage and human stories into sharp focus.

The Bishop Auckland Collection offers a distinctive base for spending time immersed in the heritage, culture and atmosphere of Bishop Auckland.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

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.
