Property Details

Bramble Rise primarily offers a choice of four-bedroom executive-style properties. Specific house types, such as 'The Hornsea' and 'The Coniston', represent the available designs.

'The Hornsea' is a four-bedroom detached house featuring a family-focused layout. Key internal specifications include an open-plan kitchen/diner with French doors providing direct access to the rear garden, a separate utility room for laundry and additional storage, and a front-aspect living room with double doors leading into the kitchen/diner. The master bedroom (Bedroom 1) is served by a private en suite, while the property also benefits from an integral garage and private parking. Buyers can discuss personalising their home through optional styling choices, including carpets, kitchen appliances, and garden landscaping, once a property is reserved. Persimmon Homes offers several options to facilitate purchase, including the Deposit Unlock, Part Exchange, and Home Change schemes on selected plots.

Location and Transport

The development is well-positioned for both regional commuting and local amenities. Road links are excellent, with convenient access to the A1(M) and the A19, making it a popular base for commuters travelling to major employment hubs in Washington, Sunderland, Gateshead, and Newcastle.

Public transport is provided by Go North East services, including the X-lines X1 and X1A, which connect Hetton-le-Hole with Newcastle and Gateshead. The line 65 bus provides a direct service from the Hetton Le Hole Interchange to Durham Bus Station (Stand D) in approximately 27 minutes.
