The property comprises a part two‑storey, part three‑storey brick-built public house, situated within an established town centre location. The building is of traditional solid brick construction, finished with a painted external façade, and underneath a pitched, concrete‑tiled roof. To the rear is a two storey flat roof extension and single storey extension with glazed roof.
LocationBishop Auckland is a long‑established market town in County Durham serving as a key centre for the surrounding Wear Valley communities. The town benefits from a broad mix of national and independent operators, essential services and strong transport links, including convenient access to Durham and Darlington via the A688 and A689, supported by a local railway station providing regional connectivity. Recent investment in heritage and cultural projects has strengthened the town’s profile and continues to drive visitor activity.
The Mitre is positioned within an established trading frontage close to the town centre, surrounded by residential areas and local amenities that support consistent daily footfall. The immediate area offers a blend of retail, service and community uses typical of a traditional market town environment, providing a reliable customer base.
The ground floor trading area consists of a open‑plan bar arranged around a bar servery positioned along the right‑hand side of the room. The layout provides seating for approximately 76 covers,
At first‑floor level, the property benefits from a large L‑shaped function room with an estimated capacity of around 100 guests. This space includes its own independent servery together with dedicated toilet facilities suitable for events and private hire.
