Village Farm at Murton responds to the shared vision of specialist custom build developers Plot and Harworth Estates.

That vision was to bring together like-minded people in the area to collectively transform an area within the village of Murton in County Durham into a vibrant new community of individually, designed and customised new homes.

The beautifully designed cul-de-sac layout offers 10 serviced building plots for detached homes and garages. All plots benefit from a full planning permission for contemporary style homes, but should purchasers wish to achieve their own designs, Custom Build Homes can support them to amend the planning permission to suit, meaning Village Farm can be your opportunity to live in a new home designed exactly to meet your needs now and in the future.

Village Farm is located in the quaint former mining village of Murton in County Durham. The village is between the coastal town of Seaham and the city of Durham which is located 20 minutes west of the site.

Seaham offers all the amenities expected of a large settlement including supermarkets, leisure centres, cinemas, hospitals and high street shops, while Durham’s ancient past offers cultural activities such as Durham Cathedral and further education at the world-renowned Durham University.

Residents at Village Farm will benefit from the Village Inn, a local pub, bistro and beer garden only 150 yards away from the entrance to the site. The path which leads to the pub runs adjacent to the well-manicured village green which adds to the countryside feel of the place, despite its close proximity to towns and cities. The village also benefits from a Premier convenience store within walking distance and Dalton Park retail and outlet centre within a Durham University 5-minute drive. Education
