Why people choose to live in Prudhoe

Is Prudhoe a nice place to live? For buyers who want the Tyne Valley without Hexham or Corbridge prices, it is one of the best-value ways in. Prudhoe has its own station with trains to Newcastle in about 25 minutes, the Tyne Riverside Country Park and Prudhoe Castle on its doorstep, and a compact Front Street of shops and cafes. The honest caveat is that it is a working valley town rather than a picture-postcard village, and it sits on the south bank away from the A69. The average home is around £215,000, up about 2.2% over the past year.

Housing is mostly good-value terraces and semis with a strong supply of modern family developments, so there is room to trade up within the town. Several primary schools feed Prudhoe Community High School, and the A695 and A69 put Hexham, Corbridge and the Derwent Valley within easy reach for work or weekends.

Affordable valley living with a station, a castle and a proper community feel.
