Conveniently situated for access to the A66, and with Trunk Road passing along the front of the development, Portside Village is in easy reach of both Middlesbrough town centre and the superb attractions of the beautiful north east coastline. The popular Coatham Sands beach is just ten minutes drive away. Trains from South Bank Station, a mile away, reach Middlesbrough in six minutes and continue to Darlington, where the national intercity network can be accessed. In addition, LNER now operates direct Azuma services between Middlesbrough and London King’s Cross. Frequent bus services link the development with the town centre, and National Cycle Route 1, running through eastern England from Colchester to the Scottish border, passes 600 yards from the development.

The exceptional choice of shops and services in the immediate area includes an Aldi store, a Tesco Extra with a pharmacy department and a B&M Store with a Garden Centre. There are also two convenient electric vehicle charging stations. The family friendly Sandstone Nab pub by the entrance to Portside Village offers two children’s play areas and a beer garden, complementing the variety of fast food outlets beside the nearby Tesco. A small traditional shopping precinct at Birchington Avenue, just over half a mile away, includes a convenience store and post office, a bakery and a pharmacy, and Cleveland Retail Park, around 20 minutes’ walk from Portside Village, incorporates more than a dozen high street names including Currys PC World, Boots and B&Q.
