Finchale View
New Homes in West Rainton, County Durham
Back
Finchale View is situated in Rainton Gate, a small hamlet two miles west of Houghton-le-Spring, chosen by Shepherd Homes for its location – equidistant to Durham and Sunderland with pleasant countryside surroundings and the North East coast on the doorstep.
The atmosphere centres around ‘Newbottle Street' where you can find century old pubs, restaurants and essential shops. The village is well supported educationally by Burnside Primary School and Houghton Kepier Secondary School.
Less than four miles from the village is the stunning city of Durham, home to the third most prestigious University in England. Less than five miles east from Finchale View is Sunderland, famous for its glassmaking (the city’s highly acclaimed national Glass Centre Museum celebrates this proud tradition). The Tyneside Metro train system now also offers regular services between Newcastle South Shields and Sunderland.
Rainton Gate is situated near the A690 and within easy reach and access to the A19 and the A1. Sunderland train station is only five miles from the village making commuting from Houghton-le-Spring to Sunderland, Durham and Newcastle very accessible. Newcastle Airport is located approximately 17 miles from Finchale View for flights to most European destinations.
