About

Spennymoor West sits on the northwestern edge of the town, characterised by residential streets and local amenities. The area is bordered by open farmland to the west, providing a distinct rural boundary. Housing primarily consists of interwar and post-war terraced and semi-detached homes, with several local schools and community centres serving the neighbourhood. The main thoroughfare is the A167, which runs along its eastern side, connecting it to the town centre and wider road network.
