Bellway returns to Killingworth

Bellway Homes is to open its second development in the popular village of Killingworth just north of Newcastle. Located on the site of a former NHS distribution centre, Stephenson Park commands stunning views across the countryside from its elevated position.

The development will provide a range of three and four bedroom homes which will appeal to first time buyers and families alike. Buyers will be able to select from a range of floor plans all offering a variety of living styles. Externally, the homes will benefit from garages and landscaped front gardens.

Locally buyers will be able to enjoy two very traditional pubs, The Killingworth Arms and The Plough Inn, located in the centre of a very characterful village.

A selection of high-street and independent stores, including a large supermarket, can be found at the Killingworth Centre, less than two miles from Stephenson Park. Slightly further afield, Silverlink Retail Park is a 10-minute drive away and Newcastle city centre, with its mix of department stores, designer boutiques, specialist retailers and well-known chains, is less than 20 minutes drive away.

Locally, leisure facilities include The Lakeside Centre, which has a swimming pool, gym, dance studio and sports hall, and Killingworth Lakeside Park, which offers opportunities for fishing and boating, as well as providing a home to wildlife – especially birds – wild flowers and woodland.

For families, there are a number of well-regarded schools in the area, including West Moor Primary School, Amberley Primary School and St Mary’s Roman Catholic Primary School for younger pupils and George Stephenson High School for older students.

Buyers will be able to take advantage of the Government’s Help to Buy scheme, which permits a minimum deposit of five percent and allows a buyer to take advantage of a twenty percent five year interest free loan which reduces monthly mortgage repayments during the first five years of occupation.

Commuters will enjoy excellent local transport connections, the A1, A19 and the A189 are easily accessible. The nearest Metro station is at Palmersville, just over a mile away, from where regular train services run to Newcastle, Gateshead and South Shields.
