The property is a 1.35-acre plot of land with roadside access in the desirable village of Witton-le-Wear. The land slopes south and has a small area of woodland at the southern boundary, with a mix of post and rail and post and wire boundaries. A pre-application enquiry was submitted to Durham County Council in September 2022 for a single detached dwelling, with positive feedback on the principle of the development. The land is accessible through a wooden gate off the High Street, located just off the western edge of the village. While there are currently no services connected to the site, services are connected to adjacent properties, making it easy to obtain a connection.
