About King Edwards Park
Development Overview
King Edwards Park is a new build homes development by Linden Homes, located in the historic market town of Morpeth, Northumberland (NE61 2GF). The development is situated on Palmerston Avenue and currently features a collection of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom houses. As of the current date, the development is substantially progressed, with over 80% of plots now sold. Linden Homes, part of the larger Vistry Group (which includes Bovis Homes and Countryside Homes), operates with the backing of an HBF 2024 5-Star Housebuilder rating, based on 90% customer recommendation. While Linden Homes maintains this high commendation for customer satisfaction, prospective buyers should note external reviews have previously highlighted typical new-build challenges concerning snagging resolution and internal build quality, making a thorough pre-completion inspection advisable.
Property Details
The remaining new build homes consist primarily of two, three, and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached properties. Specific house types include the four-bedroom Pembroke, a detached home with a dedicated study, a bay-windowed living room, and a separate detached garage, and the four-bedroom Grainger. Three-bedroom options include the Maddison and Eveleigh, the latter featuring an open-plan kitchen-diner and a separate rear living room with access to the garden, plus an en-suite bathroom to the main bedroom. All homes within the development are offered as freehold and include a 10-year NHBC warranty alongside a 2-year Customer Care pledge from the developer.
Location & Transport
King Edwards Park benefits from a woodland-adjacent setting that is within easy walking distance of Morpeth town centre. Morpeth offers a blend of traditional services and modern retail, including the boutique shopping and café culture found within the Sanderson Arcade. Essential amenities are close by, and the area is served by what Linden Homes describes as "top-rated schools nearby," including the King Edward VI School.
Transport links are strong for both local and regional commuters. Morpeth Train Station, a 23-minute walk from the general area, provides direct rail connections via the East Coast Main Line. For road travel, the development offers convenient access to the A1 motorway, connecting North and South. Bus services such as the Arriva X14 and X15 run nearby, offering routes to Newcastle upon Tyne and further afield to Alnwick.
Practical Information
While general list prices are available upon request, current purchasing incentives on selected plots include a potential £10,000 deposit contribution and upgraded kitchen packages (e.g., on The Mayfield Semi house type). Investment buyers may note that the four-bedroom showhomes, The Pembroke and The Grainger, were previously offered on a sale and leaseback scheme, achieving a 7% yield at rents of approximately £2,595 PCM and £2,566 PCM respectively. Interested parties should contact the Linden Homes Sales Centre on Palmerston Avenue for the latest pricing, availability, specific plot offers, and to arrange a viewing of the two available showhomes.
