It is with great pleasure that Rea Estates offer to the sales market this substantial 4 Bedroom Family Home, overlooking the River Wear, close to Bishop Auckland town centre, which is home to the spectacular open air night show, Kynren –An Epic Tale of England.
The property is nestled below the Grade 2 listed Newton Cap Viaduct, which is 828ft long with 11 arches and which was built in 1857 to carry the Bishop Auckland to Durham railway across the Wear. The viaduct fell into disuse when the railway closed in 1968. In 1972 Durham County Council converted the viaduct for use as a footpath. However, to relieve road traffic congestion on the single lane medieval Newton Cap Bridge, work began to strengthen the viaduct to convert it for road use and in 1995 the A689 was rerouted over the viaduct.
Extended by the current vendor, the house is warmed via Gas Central Heating and benefits from Double Glazing. The internal layout briefly comprises, Entrance Hall, Two well proportioned Reception Rooms, Conservatory, Fitted Kitchen and Utility/Wc.
To the first floor there is a Family Bathroom and Four Double Bedrooms, one of which has En-Suite facilities and one with Study/Dressing Room.
Occupying an extremely generous corner plot the property boasts enclosed gardens to the side and rear. A Double Garage, which could also be utilised as a workshop provides off road parking facilities.
In our opinion this property will make an exceptional family home for the discerning purchaser and therefore only an internal inspection will truly suffice to fully appreciate the accommodation on offer.
