A rare opportunity to purchase a building plot with residential development potential in the popular village of Byers Green. In 2008, outline planning permission was approved on the site for a detached, four bedroom house.
LOCATION
The plot is situated in the quiet cul-de-sac of Warwick Gardens in Byers Green, County Durham. The village is surrounded by countryside, offering a rural charm, yet remains within close proximity to the larger towns of Willington, Spennymoor and Bishop Auckland.
Byers Green offers a range of local amenities including a post office, public house and primary schooling. Bishop Auckland is located approximately 5 miles south, where a wider range of amenities can be found.
Durham, which is 8 miles to the north, and Newcastle, which is 30 miles to the north, both have east coast main line train stations with direct links to Edinburgh and London. There are international airports at Teesside and Newcastle.
