Fairway View

Development Overview

Fairway View is a new build development of 4 and 5-bedroom detached homes by Charles Church, the premium brand of Persimmon plc, located off Elder Drive in Cramlington, Northumberland (NE23 8FU). The development is situated approximately 10 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne and offers a family-focused collection of properties. Current prices for the new build homes range from £399,950 to £489,950, with specific available plots, such as the 5-bedroom ‘Harley’ detached house, occasionally available from a lower price point, for example, £379,950 for Plot 275. Charles Church holds a 5-star rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF) based on customer satisfaction surveys. However, prospective buyers should note that media reports on other Charles Church developments have highlighted quality control and snagging issues, a factor common in the wider new build sector.

Property Details

The properties at Fairway View are predominantly detached family houses, including a range of two and three-storey designs. Available house types include 'The Hollicombe', a 4-bedroom detached model often featuring an attractive bay window and modern bi-fold doors, and the 5-bedroom 'Regent' and 'Marylebone' designs. The flagship 5-bedroom models, such as 'The Harley', typically feature an integral garage, a separate utility room, a dedicated living room, and a substantial open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, often with two sets of French doors opening onto the rear garden. Specific layouts generally include an en-suite to bedroom one, and some designs, like the 5-bedroom models, offer a flexible fifth bedroom that can be configured as a study or dedicated home office.
