The plot, approximately a quarter of an acre in size, has previously been granted outline planning permission for a four-bedroom detached house, although this permission has lapsed. The seller is open to negotiation on the plot's size or purchasing both plots together, and is willing to consider variations. The village of Mainsforth is located nine miles from Durham city and is close to the A1m and A19, making it an attractive location. Viewings are by appointment only.
