About Rainton Gardens

Set on the border of Houghton le Spring in the area of Chilton Moor, the development is just under 2 miles from the town centre, so you have easy access to local amenities. Families will enjoy the green spaces on the development as well, ideal for dog walking or summertime fun.

With its culture, history and great shopping, coastal Sunderland is under half an hour away by car. Perfect for city commuters, you can be in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in just over half an hour, or the beautiful cathedral city of Durham in about 15 minutes. You’re also close to the A1(M) with junctions outside Durham to the south, and Chester-le-Street to the north.

For beautiful countryside and peaceful walks, Rainton Meadows Nature Park is within walking distance, or Herrington Country Park is a 15-minute drive away.
