Castle Croft Site Plan

The development layout does not show details of gradients of land, boundary treatments, local authority street lighting or landscaping. It is our intention to build in accordance with this layout. However, there may be occasions when the house designs, boundaries, landscaping and positions of roads and footpaths change as the development proceeds. The location of affordable homes is indicative and subject to change, properties coloured blue will remain affordable housing tenure and are not available for general sale. The remaining homes on the development are available for open market sale to purchasers, who could be private individuals or another type of purchaser (for example local authorities, housing associations or other commercial landlords), and therefore the mix of tenures on a development may change. Site plan is not to scale. Please speak to our Sales Executives for more details.

How to find us

Living in Startforth

Castle Croft takes its name from the 12th Century Barnard Castle and grounds. The collection of homes is just a 30-minute drive from Darlington, while being conveniently located close to village shops, facilities, and amenities. Castle Croft also benefits from being close to seven primary schools and three high schools are within five miles of the development. There is a close-knit town feeling with a monthly Farmers' Market held on 'The Cobbles' in the Market Place in Startforth.

Tilia Homes has made contributions of more than £1m towards local facilities and infrastructure, including more than £40,000 towards offsite play areas.
