Bishop Auckland, a thriving market town in the Vale of Durham, stands high above the River Wear and enjoys stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It is home to many historical attractions, while offering a vibrant shopping scene. Auckland Castle tells stories of the town’s fascinating past as well as offering highly scenic walks. Shoppers can enjoy the Bishop Auckland Retail Park and the town’s household name stores, while parents will be pleased to find schools rated Good and Outstanding by Ofsted nearby. For travel and commuting, Durham is only an 18 minute drive away, while Newcastle is around 42 minutes by car.
Those with children will have a choice of Ofsted rated schools, while commuters will appreciate the A1(M) and Bishop Auckland train station being within easy reach of home.
And for anyone who loves history, Auckland Castle and its park - believed to be 1,500 years old - are close by. With all this, plus plenty of green open space nearby, a new home at Bishops Park II could be for you.
Do you have a home to sell? No problem! We could buy your current home so that you can buy one of ours with Home Exchange† or we could help sell your current home with Smooth Move‡ - either way you won’t have to instruct estate agents or incur their fees!

SAVING YOU MONEY
According to the Home Builders Federation, on average, energy bills for new build homes are 55% cheaper. The monthly average energy bill for a new build property is £109, whereas the bill for existing property is £245– that’s a saving of £135* per month or £1,627 per year. Those that buy a new build house specifically see even greater annual savings of £2,199. It's thanks to A-rated boilers, low energy LED lighting, smart thermostats and installing appliances with high efficiency ratings.
GREEN MORTGAGES
By buying a new energy efficient Linden Home you could take advantage of exclusive ‘Green’ mortgage products. A mortgage lender could offer lower interest rates on properties that carry an energy performance certificate or a predicted energy assessment rating of A – C. Think of it as a reward for buyers who are purchasing an energy efficient home. All our standard homes have a rating of A or B so this type of mortgage may be ideal if you are looking to purchase a new build home.
KEEPING YOU COSY
Unlike older properties, our homes come with high efficiency double glazing as standard, letting plenty of light and warmth in while minimising heat loss and reducing the amount of noise you’ll hear within your home. Not only do they keep you cosy they also reduce the amount of external noise that you’ll hear within your home.
Additional roof and floor insulation are among the other unseen features included with our homes that will help reduce the costs of keeping your home warm in the winter months, while also keeping you cool in the summer.
REDUCING WATER USAGE
Our kitchens and bathrooms incorporate water saving measures, without compromising on style or functionality.
These features mean our homes use up to 20% less water* than the UK average. Our taps and showers use aerated technology to provide the feeling of a strong flow, whilst using less water. Plus, our dual low flush toilets use the minimum amount of water to ensure less waste.
*Average Linden home uses 100-110 litres/person/day compared to UK average of 140 litres/person/day according to the Energy Savings Trust

Located close to open countryside, our brand new collection of houses for sale in Bishop Auckland are perfectly positioned for reaching Darlington and Durham, as well as having a great choice of everyday amenities and facilities, including shops, places to eat and drink and Ofsted rated schools. To add to this, the A1(M) can be accessed quickly, allowing for journeys both north and south.
Bishop Auckland has an interesting history, mainly connected to the Bishops of Durham. It was around 1000AD that the area was first referenced to, after land was given to the Earl of Northumberland for defending the church against the Scots. The history of Bishop Auckland is still evident at Auckland Castle, where royalty including Queen Victoria, Charles I and James I have all visited.
Today, this market town offers everyone the best of both worlds, with surrounding countryside and the convenience of everyday amenities and good transport connections. Shops and services include supermarkets, high street brands, a post office, independent names and banks. There are a number of places to eat and drink. And there are Ofsted rated schools to choose from. With all this, it’s easy to see why Bishop Auckland is a popular place that people want to call home.
One of the advantages to living at Bishops Park II is that you can easily reach a number of other locations easily. Just over 10 miles away is the popular city of Durham. Famous for its cathedral, castle and University, this is a great place to visit. The Prince Bishops Shopping Centre is home to a good range of high street name brands, and is located close to the River Wear. This area also has a large choice of restaurants and pubs, so eating out is easy. Anyone searching for more history beyond the castle and cathedral can visit the Museum of Archaeology and the Durham Museum & Heritage Centre. Entertainment can be found at the Gala Theatre & Cinema and the Durham Student Theatre. And if you want to escape the city bustle for a while, Wharton Park is ideal for walks or for letting children run and play.
Around 15 miles from our property for sale in Bishop Auckland is the large market town of Darlington. This is a great location for shoppers, as there is a wide choice of high street and independent names to enjoy browsing at the Commill and Queen Street shopping centres. There are plenty of restaurants, pubs, cafes and bars to choose from, whether you want to socialise or enjoy a family meal. There are two cinemas - Odeon and Vue - while the Darlington Hippodrome is where you can enjoy live performances all year round. History can be found across the town. There is a statue or John Pease, who was a supporter of the earliest public railway system in world, and there is a memorial stone dedicated to William Stead, a respected journalist who died aboard the Titanic.
If you want to enjoy some time by the coast, then Hartlepool is just over 22 miles from the development. The National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool, HMS Trincomalee (Britain’s oldest historic fighting ship) and the Wingfield Castle Paddle Steamer (Britain’s only museum paddle steamer) are all hugely popular with visitors keen to know more about their individual histories. Hartlepool also has a good range of well-known brands, a large supermarket and a choice of places to eat, so whether you’re here for the history or just to be near the coast, you’ll find something you want to see and do.
Those with children will find a good choice of Ofsted rated schools within easy distance from our new property for sale in Bishop Auckland. For very young children, the Outstanding rated Etherley Lane Nursery School and York House Nursery are both under 2 miles from home. Primary age children can attend Prince Bishops Community Primary (‘Outstanding’), which is less than 15 minutes’ walk away, or Etherley Lane Primary School (‘Good’), around 1.7 miles away by car.
For older students, King James I Academy (‘Good’) is just over a mile from home, while the ‘Outstanding’ St John’s Catholic School & Sixth Form is around 5 minutes’ drive away.
For commuters, there are excellent transport connections close to these new houses for sale in Bishop Auckland. A number of smaller ‘A’ roads allow for journeys to nearby villages and towns, including the A67 for Darlington (15.3 miles), the A688 for Durham (10.3 miles) and the A689 for Hartlepool (22.7 miles). The other benefit of choosing Bishops Park II is that the A1(M) is just a few minutes away from home, meaning you can reach a greater number of locations north and south, as the road runs between London and Edinburgh.
For rail journeys north and south, Durham station (10.7 miles) provides regular services to Newcastle (14 minutes), Doncaster (1 hour 14 minutes) and Leeds (1 hour 15 minutes). Longer journeys can be made to Liverpool Lime Street (2 hours 47 minutes), Glasgow Central (2 hours 58 minutes) and London King’s Cross (3 hours 7 minutes).
