West Park Quarter

Development Overview

West Park Quarter is a new build homes development by Linden Homes, a recognised 5-star housebuilder according to the Home Builders Federation (HBF), indicating that over 90% of their customers would recommend them. The development is situated on Burdon Road, Sunderland (SR2 7BJ), occupying the strategically located former Civic Centre site. This new community will comprise 265 new homes in total, including properties for open market sale, private rent, and affordable rent, forming a revitalised city-centre community adjacent to the Ashbrooke Conservation Area.

The initial phase of new build homes features a collection of 3 and 4-bedroom properties. Current available property prices start from approximately £239,995 for a 3-bedroom terraced home, with prices ranging up to £299,995 for 4-bedroom townhouses. The first residents are expected to move in from late 2024 into early 2025.

Property Details

The development offers a variety of house types designed for modern family living, all of which benefit from a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty. Available homes include three-storey and two-and-a-half-storey designs, maximising urban space. Specific house types include The Sandy, a 3-bedroom, 2.5-storey home, and The Burnet and The Mylne, both 4-bedroom, three-storey houses.

Key internal specifications for the 4-bedroom layouts typically feature a large living room with French doors leading to the rear garden, a downstairs cloakroom, and useful under-stairs storage. The master bedroom often includes a private en-suite bathroom. All properties are designed to be highly energy-efficient, incorporating features such as double-glazing, additional roof and floor insulation, and water-saving measures, which can help homeowners reduce utility costs compared to older properties.
