Located in Etherley Dene, a quiet residential area on the western side of Bishop Auckland in County Durham. Situated on Front Street, the traditional community pub serves local residents and visitors alike. Its convenient position makes it easily accessible from Bishop Auckland town centre via nearby main roads.
The pub is a Grade II listed, two-storey inn constructed primarily from an 18th-century core that was prominently refronted around 1820. Its building composition blends traditional vernacular architecture with early 19th-century Georgian updates and late Victorian alterations.
The two-storey front facade features painted roughcast walls, an axial chimney stack, a hollow-chamfered cornice, and a steeply pitched Welsh slate roof finished with a flat-coping stone parapet. The exterior layout features a 4-plus-1 bay plan, characterized by standout, vertical two-storey bow windows with classic multi-pane sash windows on roll-moulded stone sills. A recessed central entryway features wood-mullioned windows flanked by two panelled doors, alongside a separate right-hand through-passage door providing access to the rear.
Internally the pub is centred around a central servery, the main room features standard pub layout with a dedicated area for casual drinking. It blends a clean setting with classic, down-to-earth and traditional pub furnishings. A distinct feature of the pub’s layout is its dedicated space for activities, prominently housing a pool table and areas for quiz nights or darts. The room’s seating and open space are arranged to encourage a highly social atmosphere, often buzzing with sports fans, neighbourhood regulars, and community events.
The pub also includes a pool table for entertainment and outdoor seating for warmer months, enhancing its casual appeal as a neighbourhood gathering spot where locals can enjoy drinks, conversation, and a comfortable, friendly atmosphere throughout the week and late evenings.
The first floor houses a well-appointed private quarters in very good condition.
There are three large bedrooms, living Room, kitchen and bathroom.
It would cost over £1000pcm to rent a similar space locally.
Current trade levels are modest owing to the relaxed approach employed by the current owners. We would expect a more engaged approach – using social media, events, longer opening hours would see a significant uptick in draught and overall volumes. The pub functions entirely as a traditional beverage-led establishment, opting not to serve meals or food in order to maximize its layout for social interaction and drinking. This is something that can be introduced on a theme basis / Sunday lunch offering.
Income is driven heavily by weekly event programming, featuring live sports broadcasts on TNT Sports, a dedicated darts area, a pool table, karaoke nights, and a long-standing Tuesday quiz night.
The trade relies heavily on anchoring village events, acting as a prominent venue for neighborhood fundraisers and local group meetups.
The site is currently wet led however there is a trade kitchen with dumb waiter that could certainly provide a quirky feature menu of some description as well as a plated Sunday lunch option
All of the above can be further developed and maximised.
Green Tree 1.2 miles, The Manor 1.5 miles, Pollards Inn 1.0 mile away
Current hours are limited to Thursday to Sunday evening’s only apart from weekends.
However, we would expect the pub to engage locally with the community and be able to open from lunch time (perhaps earlier for a café based offering) during the week.
