Location

Tudhoe Village is one of County Durham’s most sought-after and idyllic communities, celebrated for its unspoiled village green, historic stone cottages, and welcoming sense of community. The area perfectly balances rural charm with easy access to nearby amenities. The larger town of Spennymoor lies just a short distance away, offering a range of shops, schools, and leisure facilities. Excellent transport links connect the village to Durham City (approximately 5 miles away), Darlington, and the wider North East, making it an ideal base for commuters seeking countryside living within reach of urban conveniences.

History

Understood to lie over a minor Roman Road used to connect Binchester Fort with agricultural produce from farms further east, North Farm House forms part of the historic core of Tudhoe Village, with origins believed to date back to the mid -18th century. Constructed from traditional local stone under a clay pantile and stone slate roof, the building once served as part of a working farmstead central to village life. Rescued from potential dereliction in 1982,, the property has been carefully maintained and sympathetically updated, retaining its period character while evolving into a comfortable family home.

Services
The property is connected to all modern Services, including Mains Gas, Electricity, Water, Sewerage, Telephone and the Internet. Until the mid-20th Century, an ancient well, now concealed within the garden, was capped by a hand-operated pump providing the farm and nearby houses with their water.
