Castlegate, Skelton-in-Cleveland: New Build Homes

Development Overview

Castlegate is a development of 140 new build homes located on Bowland Road in Skelton-in-Cleveland, Teesside (TS12 2FU), developed by Bellway Homes, a builder which has achieved 5-star Home Builders Federation (HBF) status for nine consecutive years. The development, which launched in 2022, comprises a collection of three and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached properties from Bellway’s flagship ‘Artisan Collection’ range. The initial pricing for properties on this site ranged from approximately £182,995 to £319,995. The development is nearing completion, with only a limited number of homes remaining available for immediate reservation as of Autumn 2025, and final completion expected soon after. Prospective buyers are advised to contact the sales team immediately due to high demand and low stock.

Property Details

This new build development is comprised of three and four-bedroom house types designed for modern family living. Noteworthy house designs on the development include 'The Cutler' (a four-bedroom detached home featuring a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/family area, separate living room, and en-suite to the main bedroom) and 'The Bowyer' (a four-bedroom detached, double-fronted home). Homes feature integral garages or off-street parking, and private rear gardens accessible via French doors from the main living spaces. The current availability is focused on one remaining house type, 'The Sawyer,' a three-bedroom detached property available for a specific price of £249,995. The Sawyer is a two-storey home that includes an open-plan kitchen/dining/family area, a separate living room, an integral garage, and a principal bedroom with a dedicated en-suite shower room.

Location and Connectivity

Castlegate benefits from a strategic location close to both coast and countryside, sitting adjacent to the Cleveland Way National Trail and a 10-minute drive from the North York Moors National Park. The local Skelton High Street provides essential amenities, including a Co-operative Food store, a post office, a pharmacy, and a new health centre. The seaside town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea, with its beach and coastal eateries, is approximately two miles away, accessible in a six-minute drive. Transport links are robust: the development is a short five-to-eight-minute drive to both Saltburn and Marske train stations. Rail services from Saltburn can reach Redcar Central in approximately 12 minutes and Thornaby in 32 minutes. The road network provides excellent connectivity via the nearby A174 and A19, facilitating a drive to Middlesbrough in roughly 25 minutes and Darlington in approximately 45 minutes. Teesside International Airport is 32 minutes away by car. For families, Skelton Primary School is located approximately 0.5 miles from the site, with Freebrough Academy, the local secondary school, situated a short distance away in Brotton.

Practical Information

While the developer, Bellway Homes, holds a 5-star HBF rating, interested parties should review regional and site-specific customer service reviews, which are mixed, citing strong design quality but occasional delays in snagging resolution. With the Castlegate development nearly sold out, the opportunity to purchase is highly time-sensitive. The final home, a detached ‘Sawyer’ property, is currently being offered with a 5% deposit paid incentive (subject to terms). Viewings for the final remaining home and general site information are available by contacting the developer directly; the sales office hours are Mon/Fri 10am-5pm, Thu 10am-7pm, and Sat/Sun 11am-5pm. All specific pricing and final completion dates should be verified with the Bellway sales team.
