Home Buyers Survey Hartlepool

Hartlepool’s population increased in the Middle Ages due to the harbour being used as the official port of the County Palatine of Durham. Its population increased again when the railway link was established in 1839, connecting West Hartlepool to the Clarence railway.

There are Victorian terrace houses and spectacular Victorian detached houses on Burn Valley Road and Grange Road. Cosy Edwardian properties can be found on Park Road and there are flats overlooking the sea on Beaconsfield Street. The new development Tunstall Farm has a collection of 3/4/5 bedroom houses situated off Valley Drive.
