LOCATION
Crook is a historic market town in County Durham, in the North East of England. Located a couple of miles north of the River Wear, Crook lies about 9 miles south west of the historic city of Durham, 5 miles north-west of Bishop Auckland and 2 miles from Willington. Located on the edge of Weardale, Crook is consequently sometimes referred to as the “Gateway to Weardale”. The centre of Crook, a designated conservation area, features a variety of shops and businesses with the market held on Tuesdays and a few stalls on a Saturday. There are two prominent churches, the centrally located St Catherine’s CE and Our Lady Immaculate & St Cuthbert’s RC on Church Hill. On top of the hills to the east sits Crook Golf Club. Crook is the 10th largest settlement in County Durham. Crook is well related to a wide variety of shops, services, education, and employment opportunities and is also well served by public transport to nearby towns.
In line with UK Money Laundering Regulations and HMRC supervision, buyers must complete identity verification using a Government-approved digital verification service. An administrative charge is payable to cover compliance costs, charged at £25 + VAT (£30) for each purchaser.
