The property

The Clarence is a well-presented property set in Bishop Auckland, County Durham.

Offering a generous and sociable base for families and friends looking to spend time together in this historic part of the North East, boasting a freestanding bath, enclosed gardens, allowing pets and with proximity to amenities.

Pull up and park, then step inside by moving through into the sitting room, where a bay window fills the space with light, a leather sofa invites you to settle in, stylish lighting shapes the atmosphere, a Smart TV is ready for evenings in, and a small selection of books encourages slower moments.

A second living space with a dining area offers a different setting, with a sofa arranged for conversation and a dining table positioned to look out over the garden, while a chandelier overhead brings a sense of character to shared meals.

The open-plan living area forms the heart of the house, with warm yellow walls adding depth and warmth, a kitchen island taking centre stage beneath feature lighting, breakfast bar stools for informal dining, and plenty of space to prepare meals while others relax nearby on the sofa or watch the wall-mounted TV, with a dining table close at hand for everyone to come together.

A utility room keeps day-to-day routines running smoothly with a washing machine and tumble dryer, while a cloakroom with basin and WC sits conveniently on the ground floor.

Head upstairs past the stained glass window on the staircase, where coloured light adds interest as you reach the bedrooms.

A zip and link bedroom offers flexible sleeping arrangements and includes its own snug, ideal for reading or unwinding, along with an en-suite walk-in shower, basin and WC.

There is also a double bedroom, a bunk room well suited to younger guests, and a further double bedroom with an en-suite walk-in shower, basin and WC, providing added privacy.

The main bathroom is large and spacious, featuring a freestanding bath, a walk-in shower, basin and WC, with a stylish rug softening the room and enhancing its inviting feel.

The enclosed garden offers a welcome outdoor retreat, with a stretch of lawn and garden furniture where dogs can potter about safely while you pause with a drink or enjoy a slower start to the day.

A shop and pub are close by for everyday essentials or a meal out, and the nearby River Wear provides an easy option for walks and fresh air during your stay.

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.
