Serving Consett and County Durham

County Durham combines a rich mining heritage with a historic cathedral city and growing new-build communities. The county's housing stock includes traditional pit villages, Georgian and Victorian properties in Durham city, and modern estates in towns like Newton Aycliffe and Peterlee.

Consett sits high on the Durham hills at over 250 metres above sea level, making it one of the coldest and most exposed towns in the region. Properties need to withstand harsh weather, and materials must be chosen for wind and frost resistance.
