Property Details

The development focuses on energy-efficient, contemporary living. All properties at Alder Park are designed with sustainability features, including the installation of PV solar panels, triple-glazed windows, and dedicated electric vehicle charging points. New build homes available include specific house types such as the 1,021 sq ft The Tetford, a three-bedroom semi-detached house priced from £264,995, and The Harrton, a three-bedroom, 1,140 sq ft townhouse with prices starting at £279,995.

Larger options include the three-bedroom detached The Byrneham at £308,995, which features a dedicated study and an integral garage. For families requiring more space, four-bedroom detached properties, such as one available at 1,374 sq ft for £399,995, and others up to 1,537 sq ft for up to £426,995, are scheduled for completion in August 2025. All new homes come with a 10-year NHBC Warranty. A fixed annual estate management fee of £224.53, paid to Kingston Property Services, covers the maintenance of communal green spaces within the community.

Location Benefits

Alder Park is strategically located to offer convenient road transport links via a new access point off Stone Cellar Road, providing fast connectivity to the major regional road network, including the A19 and the A1(M). This makes the location a practical choice for commuters travelling north to Newcastle upon Tyne or south towards Durham and Teesside.

Local amenities are readily accessible. The site is less than half a mile from George Washington Primary School (0.4 miles) and St Bede's Roman Catholic Voluntary Aided Primary School (0.6 miles). Retail needs are served by The Galleries Shopping Centre, which hosts over 200 retail units including Asda and Sainsbury's supermarkets.

Crucially, Washington is currently the fourth largest town in the UK without a railway station, but this is set to change. A major infrastructure project is underway to extend the Tyne and Wear Metro system, creating the 'Washington Metro Loop'. This project includes plans for new stations at Washington North and Washington South, with the new line hoped to be operational by 2033, providing a transformative rail connection for residents to Newcastle and Sunderland.
