About
Tucked within the rolling greenery of the Deerness Valley, The Oaks offers a slower pace of life surrounded by open skies, woodland walks, and the gentle rhythm of the countryside.
Here in Esh Winning, you're never far from nature - yet just a short drive from the historic charm, culture, and convenience of Durham city.
It's a place where you can breathe deeply, stretch out, and feel truly at home - all while staying connected to everything you need.
Whether you're enjoying morning coffee in your private garden, strolling through green valley trails, or heading into the city for work or leisure, The Oaks gives you the best of both worlds: countryside calm with urban convenience.
Inside, each home features high-spec finishes, modern kitchens and bathrooms, and spacious layouts perfect for families, couples, or downsizers.
We're proudly pet-friendly too - because home isn't truly home without every member of the family.
With on-site parking, long-term tenancies, and 24/7 in-house maintenance, life at The Oaks is made easy.
Our friendly resident services team is always on hand, ready to help when you need them - or just say hello.
This home is available with flatfair's Nil Deposit solution, so instead of a traditional deposit, you'll pay a one-off check-in fee equal to 28% of a month's rent (+VAT).
It's a simple, upfront alternative that keeps moving costs down - though please note this fee is non-refundable and can't be used to cover any future damages.
