Bracken Grange

Development Overview

Bracken Grange, a highly sought-after new build development by Linden Homes, is situated in the Brackenhoe area of Middlesbrough, Yorkshire (TS4 3AE), less than three miles from the town centre. This completed residential project consists primarily of 3 and 4-bedroom energy-efficient houses, marketed to both families and commuters. The development is now substantially complete, with all new-build open-market plots reported as sold by the developer. Current opportunities to secure a new home here are highly limited, focusing on a small number of final properties and specialised schemes, including Shared Ownership and potential ex-show home sales.

Property Details

The properties at Bracken Grange are two-storey new build homes. The key remaining housing stock includes four-bedroom detached houses, providing concrete details for decision-making. These detached units typically feature a spacious entrance hall, a dedicated lounge, a separate ground floor WC, and a large open-plan kitchen/diner with French doors leading directly to the rear garden. Practical features include a utility area, four good-sized bedrooms, a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a family bathroom, an integral garage, and off-street parking for two vehicles.

Financial examples for the remaining inventory include a 4-bedroom detached ex-show home recently listed for £295,000 (Freehold). Furthermore, a 4-bedroom detached Shared Ownership property is available through Sage Homes, with a Full Market Price of £259,996, offering a 50% share purchase from £129,998. All new build homes come with a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty.
