Background
History
The first residences in the area were constructed in 1821 to house workers of the nearby colliery. The village has retained much character, according to Rightmove the average sold price in the year up to October 2021 was £167,565. It has a mix of small private estates situated in the centre, social housing at the eastern and western extremities, and south alongside a large proportion of individual properties and small stone terrace cottages, built of local, low quality stone, a style typical within the village. The Bowes Railway Museum is located on the outskirts of the village. The railway served the colliery at Springwell Village from 1826 until 1974, with a short part of the route now…
