come on all you n-east mums. If you had £160ish to spend where would live between south of durham city and darlington? Need good schools.

that's it really need 3 beds

You could get a new build in REdcar

Redcar would be very far, unless you'd be willing to commute?
Sorry, am highjacking this thread as well
How about villages around Spennymoor?

Lanchester is a very nice medium sized village, good school as far as I know.

I would live in Wolsingham.

ooh yes wolsingham is a good choice

Or Sedgefield

how are schools in these areas suggested - I will look at the figures but local knowledge is better

I'm sorry I can't help with schools, no knowledge other than what's on the web
BUMP!!

I have recently moved from the south east to Crook. My daughter has started at the local school which got an outstanding ofsted report and is settling in nicely.

Crook has a nice feel to it, not too big and not too small. We live within walking distance of the town, so near to the shops, the library, the swimming baths, toddler groups etc.

You will easily be able to get a nice size house for the budget you have.

I dont know much about any other areas around here I'm afraid.

Corook mum- My cousin lives in Crook (moved from Midlands) and loves it.Obviously a great village and v welcoming.

where is crook? i am also thinking about moving to n east ,education rubbish here.sorry auntiebetty just curious we are looking a bit further up in northumberland

I live in Sedgefield, v nice village and decent schools, not sure what's available for 160000 though. Good transport links too, right next to A1

this is in a nice part of Sedgefield
