Persimmon Homes - Acorn Gardens, DL5

Set in the vibrant town of Newton Aycliffe in County Durham, our new Persimmon Homes development at Acorn Gardens is a great option. Living in this semi-rural setting gives you access to some excellent facilities, as well as to the countryside right on your doorstep.

A new home here will put you halfway between Darlington and Durham and within easy reach of the A1(M) which connects the two. Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Newcastle upon Tyne are all within commuting distance if you need to travel to work. This is a thriving town to call home, with plenty of amenities, a good choice of schools, a great range of shops, and leisure opportunities for all the family.

County Durham balances big cities with big countryside and an impressive coastline. Whether you decide to head for the North Pennines or the North Sea, Acorn Gardens is a well-placed base.
