Housesimple is delighted to present to the market this two/three bedroom, terraced property in Bishop Auckland, County Durham.

Lying in a sought after, leafy location within Bishop Auckland, 11 Etherley Lane is a fine example of how modern day comfort and convenience can be achieved without compromising its late Georgian character. The original deeds and hand written documents chart its history from the land?s original purchase circa 1816. Its restoration has included the replacement of windows, made by a local craftsman to original design. The house is now fully rewired, re-plumbed, re-roofed and has the benefit of gas fired central heating. All major rooms have television and telephone points. Each level of this 3-storey property has the added safety of mains powered smoke detection. The property is not directly overlooked and affords views over the rooftops of the town and the hills beyond. The City of Durham lies only 12 miles from the house; the A1M is 7.5 miles away. There is easy access to the East Coast Mainline and local airports. The town centre is within walking distance as too are pleasant country walks and the Grade 1* Bishop?s Palace and Deer Park. There is a very good range of major supermarkets.
