Description
Derwent Park, on the outskirts of Consett in County Durham, is a stunning new development of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses.
Specification
Derwent Park, Consett has been chosen by Shepherd Homes for its location – equidistant to Durham and Newcastle with pleasant countryside surroundings and the North East coast only a short drive away.
Leisure facilities
The pedestrianised city centre is packed full of shops and restaurants in and around the cobbled Victorian market place – making for a more relaxed atmosphere. If you prefer to take a more leisurely pace, take a walk down one of the many paths that lead down to the riverbanks, here you can take the ‘Prince Bishop’ river cruiser for a stunning trip along the river.
Surrounding Consett is outstanding countryside, where else is there such a variety of landscape? From the North Pennines in the west to the North Sea coast in the east, there are pleasures to suit all tastes. Visit the Viaduct, a magnificent example of Victorian railway engineering, situated on the course of the old Stanhope & Tyne Railway between Consett and Rowley, which has stood for over 130 years.
