Property Details The new build properties at Monkton Gardens are designed to be energy-efficient, adhering to the latest Part L building regulations, and are equipped with PV panels, thicker insulation, and a modern heating system, potentially including air source heat pumps, which can result in lower running costs for homeowners.

Common specifications across the range include an open-plan kitchen and dining area with French doors leading out to the rear garden, a separate light and airy lounge, a utility room, and a downstairs W.C. The main bedroom in all house types typically benefits from an en suite shower room. Selected available plots offer specific advantages such as West-facing or South-facing gardens and two allocated parking spaces or a detached garage and driveway. All homes come with the reassurance of a 10-year warranty.

Location Benefits The development is positioned to provide excellent commuter and amenity access. Hebburn Town Centre is situated nearby, offering local shops and national chains, including supermarkets such as ASDA and Aldi, as well as independent shops like Farmfoods.

For families, the area benefits from access to "Outstanding" rated schools, including Bede Burn Primary School, with St Matthew's RC Voluntary Aided Primary School located approximately 0.5 miles away.
