It is with great pleasure that Rea Estates offer to the sales market this substantial 4 Bedroom 3 Storey Period Property, set in an elevated position in a much sought after area of Bishop Auckland, boasting far reaching open views across the Wear Valley.

The surrounding rural area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and the property is well-placed for the Durham Dales and both the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks.

Lawned garden have well stocked flower borders containing an array of mature plants, trees and shrubs.
In our opinion period properties of this size in such a sought after location are rarely available to the sales market and therefore only an internal inspection will truly suffice to fully appreciate the accommodation that is on offer.
