This phase is estimated for completion later in 2024. Keep your eyes peeled here for updated drone pictures of the progress and look out on our Housing Facebook page[external link] for updates on when houses will be ready to apply for.

 

Construction has currently been halted on this site due to unforeseen circumstances.

Sherborne Close - Phase 2

Following on from the success of our new build phase 1 at Sherborne Close, work has started to phase 2 to provide 12 new, affordable council homes.

Sherborne Close is located in the Branksome area of Darlington. Branksome is close to Cockerton Village, Mowden and West Park, all of which host supermarkets, shops, restaurants and a local library. It is a vibrant place to live and boasts a good number of family houses, with local primary and secondary schools being within close vicinity. 

Being located on the North West of the town there are many local walking, cycling and running routes into the countryside.

Excellent transport links are close by including A1M, East coast mainline and Durham Tees Valley Airport. 

We are currently building: 

• 4 x 3 bedroom houses
• 8 x 2 bedroom apartments
