Just a short drive from Darlington and with excellent road and rail links, it’s ideal for commuters and families alike. Dinsdale Railway Station is a short walk from the village, offering regular trains to Darlington and Middlesbrough — and from there, direct services to York, Newcastle, and even London.

By road, the A66 and A1(M) are easily accessible, connecting you to the wider North East with ease.

Everyday Essentials On Your Doorstep

Though tranquil and semi-rural, Middleton St George is well-served for everyday needs. The village is home to a convenience store, pharmacy, hairdressers, and a popular local pub, The Devonport, which serves hearty meals and a warm welcome.

Nearby Morton Park and Darlington town centre offer an even wider choice of supermarkets, shops, cafés and restaurants — perfect for a weekend stroll or quick retail therapy.

A Family-Friendly Community

For families, Middleton St George has a lot to offer. St George’s Church of England Academy, the local primary school, is well-regarded and at the heart of village life. There are also several good secondary schools and sixth form options in the Darlington area, all within easy reach.

Safe, welcoming, and neighbourly, it’s a place where children can play freely, and where new residents are quickly made to feel at home.
