    Schools are the most important thing as my daughter needs a SEND school and my son a school which will help and support his dyslexia and epilepsy

    As previously mentioned, moved back to NE about 4 years ago. @Somebodys pinched my sombrero is spot on about Oakerside. Lovely place, some cracking houses, fairly quiet, Castle Eden Dene on your doorstep and Shotton Hall School and East Durham College around the corner.

    Be careful 220k for a 4 bed detached is cheap
    Do proper research and ask as many questions as you like

    Just found one on that Oakerside estate mentioned and that's a 4 bed for 220k, but has smallish bedrooms

    You want to make sure you check it out carefully, Oakerside is know for mag infestations.

    Brougham’s about 30 year old, but it’s a decent area <ok>

    There's another possible on Montfalcon Road, but needs a change of decor

    Do you mean Montfalcon Close just off Neville Road / Howletch Lane? Used to be a lovely area but then I moved :emoticon-0102-bigsm
    The garden of that house doesn't appear to get much sunlight due to trees that are not on your land so little that you could do about that.
    There are a few buy to lets in the general area but when I go round that way and talk to people I used to know it seems ok.
    However house prices have fallen amongst the ex local authority housing stock adjacent which may impinge on the property that you are looking at,

    Montfalcon is a nice street, big houses, but not in one of the “posher” estates. if you can push the boat out a bit, check holly tree house in Castle Eden. It’s adjoined to a castle.

    That’s the one, mind you, the only neighbours are right next door on the castle. Some more in a tiny village quarter of a mile away. It’s literally on the edge of the dene. It’s a fantastic price if you like something a bit quirky.
    It’s five minutes in the car from Peterlee and Wellfield schools.

    Update, finally had an offer for our house.

    Seen a lovely house in Ouston, any thoughts on that as an area please?
