Property Details

Western Grange is a modern community of low-carbon homes, designed with energy efficiency in mind. Specific house types, such as the three-bedroom 'Harper' and the four-bedroom 'Reedmaker', are available to view as showhomes. Future-focused features are integrated into the design, including electric vehicle (EV) charging points and provisions for Solar PV installations to promote sustainability and reduced running costs. The development plan incorporates substantial green open spaces, creating a semi-rural residential environment within proximity to urban centres.

The Tyne and Wear Metro network is accessed via Palmersville station (Yellow Line), located just 0.6 miles or an 18-minute walk away, positioning the development five stops from the coast and eight stops from central Newcastle.
