East Benton Rise

Development Overview

East Benton Rise is a new build residential development by Persimmon Homes, located at Station Road in Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, NE28 9FE. The development offers a substantial and varied collection of new homes, ranging from two-bedroom apartments, including the 'Horsford Apartments', to three, four, and five-bedroom houses, providing options for first-time buyers, families, and rightsizers alike. While current new build house prices and availability require direct contact with the North East region sales team, resale data and nearby Persimmon sites offer a context for the development’s value, with prices in the vicinity starting from under £190,000 for a three-bedroom property.

Property Details

The East Benton Rise development is planned to encompass a mix of two-bedroom apartments alongside three, four, and five-bedroom detached and semi-detached homes. Typical specifications observed in properties on the development include modern layouts with practical features. Examples from properties on site demonstrate three-bedroom semi-detached houses featuring a ground floor W.C., a master bedroom with an ensuite and a private balcony, and the inclusion of a garage and off-street parking. Furthermore, properties are typically sold with a Freehold tenure and are expected to be covered by an NHBC Warranty. For more generous living space, some three-storey designs are available in the wider Benton Rise area, often including a dedicated principal bedroom spanning the top floor.
