There is plenty of well-priced property in the area that ranges from new builds to period homes and Victorian terraces, while Darlington is surrounded by swathes of lovely countryside; the Durham Dales, North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales are all located in the near vicinity.

The town’s rail station lies on the East Coast Main Line and is an important interchange stop that offers regular services to cities such as London, Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle. Direct services to the capital take two hours 45 minutes, while it’s around half an hour to Newcastle city centre and just over double this to its airport.
