Grangemoor Park

Development Overview

Grangemoor Park is a new build development by Gleeson Homes, situated in the village of Widdrington Station, Northumberland (NE61 5LX). The development is nearing completion, with the developer reporting that over 90% of the plots have been sold and the last remaining homes have been released for sale. The focus of the development is on providing affordable, quality new homes, which Gleeson Homes states are affordable for a couple earning the National Living Wage. The scheme originally offered 2, 3, and 4 bedroom properties; however, current availability is concentrated on the remaining 3 bedroom house types.

Prices for the available 3 bedroom new build homes at Grangemoor Park start from £179,995. Other recorded plot prices for the 3-bedroom segment include £181,995 (e.g., Wicklow style), £189,995 (e.g., Tyrone style), and £192,995 (e.g., Kilkenny style). All properties are sold on a Freehold basis.

Property Details

The remaining properties are primarily 3 bedroom houses, comprising both semi-detached (such as the Tyrone and Wicklow styles) and detached house types (such as the Kilkenny style). Specific house styles like the semi-detached Tyrone feature a total liveable area of approximately 70.56m² (759ft²), an open-plan kitchen-diner with an L-shaped worktop, and a separate living room with French doors leading to the rear garden. The family bathroom includes Porcelanosa tiling. Certain available plots, such as the Tyrone show home (Plot 2), include an attached single garage.

Standard inclusions for all homes feature turf laid to both the front and rear gardens, full 6ft timber fencing, an outside tap, and a gate. Selected new homes at Grangemoor Park are installed with an Air Source Heat Pump. Gleeson Homes has previously offered buyer incentives on specific plots, including contributions of up to £7,500 towards a deposit or packages including kitchen and bathroom upgrades valued at £2,300 (subject to specific terms and conditions).
