Persimmon Homes - Herrington Grange

Herrington Grange is ideally located between the cities of Durham and Sunderland, with a number of towns in the vicinity, meaning there's a vast range of shops, facilities and attractions to be found within half an hour of the development. The location is well-suited to families, thanks to the excellent choice of schools nearby. There are plenty of ways to stay active, too - the development is next to the stunning and spacious Herrington Country Park, and the beautiful Durham Heritage Coast is just 20 minutes away.

For day-to-day amenities you'll find a convenience store within walking distance, while a six-minute drive south will take you to the bustling town of Houghton-le-Spring and its high street packed with shops, supermarkets, banks and eateries. Seven minutes in the other direction, Washington is home to several schools, a leisure centre and the Galleries Shopping Centre. All your other retail needs are sure to be met in either Durham, a beautiful city awash with culture and historic architecture, or in Sunderland, a port city with a great arts and culture scene.
