Last year was an outstanding year for our Land, Development and New Homes department. We welcomed hundreds of properties to the North East housing market, supplying much needed new homes for local people.
The year so far has already brought us several exciting projects and launches of a vast range of new build developments which we have been instructed to market across the region. We’re hosting several open days on behalf of our clients and are looking forward to arranging many more over the course of the year. We’re working alongside several established and emerging development companies and our department is growing at a rapid pace.
We’ve recently launched an exciting new development in Morpeth town centre, built by emerging North East developers, Northumberland Homes Ltd. The project will see the former and historical Registry Office in Morpeth carefully transformed into luxury apartments, cottages and dormer bungalows.
In other luxury projects, we are working with Rare Earth to bring to market an exclusive development of homes in North Carol Wood, Medburn. This exclusive development of five luxury homes are situated within this attractive village, while the properties benefit from a south facing rear garden, two spacious lounge areas, an impressive wrap around landing and a triple garage.
The show home at Orchard Dene, Jesmond was recently launched as we offer these exceptionally built properties to the region’s house buyers. The contemporary-styled four- and five-bedroom homes, build by Ascent Homes, boast an interior high-specification which is second to none and are carefully landscaped to create the perfect living environment.
Other luxury developments include a range of properties at West Chevington Farm, a range of sustainably and environmentally friendly built luxury homes on a National Heritage listed Georgian-era farm site in Northumberland. The estate comprises of 21 rustic-style, stunning and carefully planned homes, on generous sized plots, accompanied by landscaped community spaces and car-friendly access.
Following on from our successful project selling properties within the South Walled Gardens, situated in the grounds of Newcastle Race Course, we have also launched properties within the North Walled Gardens, which includes eight contemporary, split level, four bedroom properties built by All Saints Living.
We’re also delighted to be marketing affordable properties including those at Barley Croft in Bedlington and Woodhouse Mews in Swalwell, Gateshead. Properties at Barley Croft, which have been built by Gatsby Homes, offer stylish 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes which are also available through a part-buy part-rent scheme – an accessible way to step onto the property ladder.
Woodhouse Mews boasts 22 one, two- and threebedroom properties, each with spacious, modern and open-plan living and bespoke floor plans and layouts the development is situated in a prime location being close to Newcastle, Gateshead and the A1.
We’re also working closely with innovative construction companies who are implementing new and efficient ways to build property. ORCA LGS Solutions has developed a forward-thinking way to deliver more housing, faster by employing local people and offsite construction technology, which has resulted in the three-bedroom, three bathroom homes at Priory Mews, Tynemouth. The digitally manufactured Light Gauge Steel Frame (LGSF) components are produced from a printer, quickly assembled in a factory, then installed on site to deliver 100m2 of housing per day.
It’s been a busy year for the Land, Development and New homes department so far, and we look forward to this continuing.
