The site is broadly triangular in shape, is undeveloped and extends to
approximately 4.63 acres (1.77 hectares). It is bound by open space and
recreational facilities to the north and east, a woodland strip to the south
and Drover Road to the west which provides access to the site.

The immediate surrounding area comprises housing to the east and
west, open space to the north with housing beyond and agricultural land
to the south.

The subject site is located within the attractive village of Castleside and is situated to the east of Drover Road. Castleside sits directly on the A68 and is located a short 5 minute drive to Consett to the east, with Newcastle city centre located 17 miles to the north east via the A692.

Castleside benefits from its picturesque setting being surrounded by scenic open countryside, but is also being well served by transport links and local amenities. Residents benefit from two local pubs along with amenities and leisure destinations at Consett to the east. Surrounding settlements include Allensford to the north, Edmundbyers and Wolsingham to the south.

Offering easy access to the countryside, Castleside offers residents the opportunity to enjoy semirural living in a desirable part of County Durham whilst being within comfortable commuting distance to major employment hubs.
