Why Castle Eden is different from the rest of Peterlee

Castle Eden is a rural pocket inside Peterlee, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Peterlee job. We plan around longer approach drives, gravel-to-resin conversions and rural drainage. That's why this page exists separately to ourPeterlee page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
