Just half an hour’s walk from the centre of Durham, Bishops Walk is also ideally situated for travel throughout the north east. A1(M) junctions 61 and 62 are both within ten minutes’ drive, and Durham Station, less than two miles away, is on the Edinburgh to London Kings Cross line.
Trains reach Newcastle in less than 20 minutes and London in under three hours. Several bus routes pass Bishops Walk, providing frequent links to the city centre, the Durham coastline, Hartlepool and Sunderland, and National Cycle Route 14 runs alongside Bishops Walk, offering access to the city centre.
Bishops Walk benefits from an exceptional range of shops and services. As well as local convenience stores and food takeaways, there are Aldi, Iceland, Lidl and Tesco stores, Boots, and a choice of major home and furnishing retailers within a few minutes’ walk.
Half a mile away, Durham City Retail Park includes B&Q, Currys and B&M outlets alongside restaurants and gyms.
In contrast, Durham’s beautiful, historic streets are lined with traditional local shops, pubs and restaurants, and the Market Hall, hosting more than 40 retailers, is complemented by an outdoor Saturday market.

Mortgages for this home
With a 10% deposit (£35,000) you would borrow £315,000, a 90% loan to value. 11 lenders publish 30 two-year fixed deals at that loan to value. Here are 5 of the 30, sorted by monthly payment.

Sorted by the figure you choose, and nothing else: not a recommendation. Each payment is a repayment mortgage over 30 years at the rate the lender publishes for this loan to value; after the deal, at the lender's variable rate today, which can change. The cost over the deal is its payments and the lender's stated fees, less any cashback, and the APRC is worked out the way the FCA sets for lenders. NewHomeSearch is not authorised by the FCA, does not give mortgage advice or arrange mortgages, and receives nothing from lenders. A mortgage is secured on your home. Lenders decide who they lend to and may lend less on some new homes, flats in particular: check every figure with the lender.
Similar homes nearby have sold for £239,000 to £367,000 in today’s prices. At £350,000 this home asks between 5% below and 46% above similar resales, and between 7% below and 42% above similar resales after the builder’s cash offers. Confidence in the estimate is low: the home has no stated floor area, so similar homes are matched on type and bedrooms alone.
