Fellside Gardens by Miller Homes North East

A little over a mile from the A692 and one and a half miles from the A691, Fellside Gardens is within 20 minutes’ drive of Durham, and Newcastle can be reached in 35 minutes. Hourly buses between Castleside and Durham, via Consett and Lanchester, stop outside the development, and National Cycle Route 14 passes less than 600 yards to the south, providing routes to Hartlepool and Gateshead.
Shops within around ten minutes’ walk include Delves Village Store, open seven days a week, Knitsley Farm Shop with its butcher, deli, bakery and café, and two food takeaways.
There are Lidl and B&M stores on the edge of the village, and Consett, around 25 minutes’ walk away, has a partly pedestrianised town centre with local shops, pubs, cafés and restaurants.
Larger stores such as Morrisons, Aldi, Tesco Extra, B&Q and Matalan can be found around nearby Hermiston Retail Park, while the village of Lanchester, three miles away and accessible by a pleasant footpath, offers butchers, bakers and hardware stores, pubs and restaurants set in picturesque, leafy streets.
