It is fast becoming one of the most prestigious addresses in the North East - with elegant homes surrounded by acres of woodland with history and a regional legend thrown in for good measure.
It’s not surprising then that Miller Homes’ development at Lambton Park – half way between Sunderland and Chester-le-Street – has seen properties snapped up.
With Phase 2 of the development well underway, the company recently unveiled its latest showhouse – the four bedroom Pine which sits perfectly among the other three, four and five bedroom properties which are on offer.
Lambton Park is one of Miller Homes’ flagship developments – and no wonder.
It is set in 1000 acres of woodland and even boasts its own Grade II listed castle, with residents also given access to 11.5k of country footpaths through the unspoilt countryside belonging to the estate.
There’s not many homes that come with a substantial slice of local history as an extra, but there’s no doubt that this has added to the overall appeal to buyers.
The next stage at Lambton is equally as exciting, with the creation of Bowes Gate.
The aim is to make Lambton Park a self sufficient community and with that in mind, this part of the development will create a range of facilities on the doorstep.
A Pavilion café bistro and a range of independent stores such as a delicatessen, butcher, florist and baker are part of the ambitious plans and will play a huge part in creating a sense of togetherness – not to mention convenience – for those who choose to live there.
At the same time the design of many of the properties at Lambton have taken into account the history and the surroundings and used them as inspiration.
The phase two homes reflects the Victorian Arts and Crafts movement, where artists and creators started to incorporate nature and rural life into their work – and that in turn is very visible at Lambton.
For Aisling Ramshaw, sales director at Miller Homes North East, this is one of the major selling points of the development.
“These are really special homes which represent the very best in modern design and architecture but at the same time have taken into account the history of the area they are in,” she said.
“They are attracting a wide range of buyers, from people who are returning home to live in the North East to others who simply recognise the benefits of living in the region and with everything that Lambton has to offer right on the doorstep.
“Phase one has been incredibly successful and we are delighted that phase two is now also starting to sell really quickly.”
