The property

Sheriff's Tower Cottage - East is a well-presented cottage set in Bishop Auckland, Durham.

Offering a relaxed and bright base for couples, friends or a small family exploring this historic part of the North East, with enclosed outdoor space, nearby amenities and allowing pets.

Pull up and park, then pause to take in the view from the front of the cottage, where the original Sheriff’s Tower stands opposite beside the historic walls of Auckland Palace, just off the central Market Place.

Step inside and leave coats and shoes in the hallway before moving through into the living and dining room, where bright and calming yellow hues lift the space, a rug underfoot adds warmth, seating is arranged for time spent together, a dining table is set for shared meals, and a Smart TV is ready for evenings in.

The kitchen is arranged for everyday cooking, finished with quaint and stylish wallpaper and offering views towards the Sheriff’s Tower as you prepare meals, supported by a dishwasher that helps with a easy clean up.

Head upstairs to reach two king sized bedrooms, both arranged as calm spaces to unwind at the end of the day.

The bathroom features a bath with shower over, basin and WC, finished with pretty patterned wallpaper that adds character without overpowering the space.

To the rear, an enclosed lawn and terrace provide a practical outdoor area with patio furniture, suited to sitting out with a drink or letting the dog potter safely nearby.

With a shop and pub close by and the river nearby for walks.

Sheriff's Tower Cottage - East, offers a well-located base for relaxed stays and easy exploring in Bishop Auckland.

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.
