Available for sale is this residential development opportunity, comprising a substantial parcel of land extending to approximately 0.5 acres (2,020sqm), situated to the rear of Victoria Terrace, Pelton, Chester-le-Street.

Chester-le-Street itself provides a wider range of retail, leisure and professional services, together with rail connections to the wider region.

The A1(M) is readily accessible, providing direct links throughout County Durham and the wider North East, whilst the surrounding road network offers good connectivity to neighbouring towns and settlements.
