Copley Village, Bishop Auckland

A truly impeccably designed, constructed and presented four-bedroom stone-built detached family home set in stunning Weardale countryside. Construction was completed in February 2012 to an individually designed architect plan, providing an incredibly modern, spacious and open property with numerous opportunities.

Location - Copley village sits 6 miles from the historic market town of Barnard Castle, with neighbourhood amenities in the surrounding villages with Pinfold Medical Practice (1.7 miles) and Primary schools in Woodland (1 mile) and Butterknowle (2 miles).

For the commuter, the A66, A67, A68 and A1M provide exceptional links, and Darlington mainline railway station and Teesside International Airport offer further communications with the rest of the country. Many of the region’s beauty spots are within a short drive beyond which are the delights of Teesdale, Weardale, Northumberland and the East Coast, the North Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.
