The Woodlands, Shotley Bridge
Work has started on a major new housing development at Shotley Bridge near Consett in County Durham, which will create 240 new homes over the next seven years.
The 31-acre site next to the new Shotley Bridge Hospital includes a wide range of properties, from two-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom houses. It will also offer 60 affordable homes, half of which will be to rent and the other 30 being discounted in perpetuity to help local people own their first home.
The 2, 3, 4 and 5-bedroom properties on this scheme will reflect the local area, incorporating quality brick and buff stone and complimented by a mid-grey slate roof covering which is a feature in the town already. The differing house types and finishes provide a unique character. Story Homes is renowned for creating aesthetically pleasing street scenes and for delivering successful community focused developments. We have an excellent reputation for building to an exceptionally high standard and quality specification.
The site has good road communications and is located on the eastern outskirts of Shotley Bridge with stunning views over the Derwent valley, framed by river valleys and woodland – hence the development name 'The Woodlands'. The site has the potential for high levels of connectivity to an existing network of footpaths and cycle ways.
It is expected that the first phase of properties will be released for sale in May 2012. To register your interest about the Shotley Bridge site click here.
