Primo development unveiled on former Stafford pottery site

Gladedale (Sunderland) Ltd is to create a total of 114 homes from the Primo portfolio at its latest development Pottery Wharf on the banks of the River Tees.

Catering for a range of buyers, the development will comprise a collection of one and two bedroom apartments, one and two bedroom mews style homes, two and three bedroom semi-detached and three bedroom detached properties.

The development occupies a prime location steeped in history and has been created with a traditional approach to quality and value echoing the local heritage of the area.

Established in 1825 by William Smith, The Stafford Pottery was the earliest and longest operating pottery around the River Tee, working until 1910. The factory comprised up to six bottle kilns, large work sheds, warehouses and industrial workings, railway sidings and a wharf. The workers’ houses and Stafford Villa were close by on Pottery Street and Thornaby Road.

The homes which have all been specifically designed for first time buyers and those wanting to progress up the property ladder, will be of particular interest to househunters looking to move into a brand new, low-maintenance home.

Currently released for sale are the popular two bedroom semi detached Hurricane and the three bedroom semi detached Dove house types which are attracting many local buyers looking to make their next move or an alternative to renting.

As with all Primo homes, these properties have been created with 21st century living in mind, including a spacious lounge, fitted kitchen and generous bedrooms.

Richard Jones, Sales Director for Gladedale (Sunderland) Ltd, said: “Pottery Wharf is an exciting project for us and the local community.

“We are breathing new life into the site formerly occupied by the historic Stafford Pottery and as it is a significant part of Thornaby history we felt that naming the development after the pottery was only fitting.”

The sales office at Pottery Wharf is open Thursday to Monday 11am to 5pm. For further information visit Primobygladedale.co.uk.
