Whessoe Road running adjacent to the North Road (A167), being a main access road into the centre of Darlington, is a mix of both industrial and suburban residential. Currently to the rear of Signal House the previously derelict Darlington Railway museum has been granted multimillion funding with numbers of expected visitors forecasted to be in the region of 300,000 a year.

With ample amenities in the town centre sitting 1.5miles away, including but not limited to Bannatyne Hotel & Spa, Darlington Hospital, Darlington Train station and an array of boutique style bars and restaurants.

Darlington is an emerging investment and financial hub within the North East attracting major national and international employers including HM Treasury, The Department for Trade, Amazon's largest fulfilment Centre, Student Loans and EE to name a few.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
