Family wanted for tranquil village living in Leadgate

Lovell Eastern is on the look out for a family, keen on taking advantage of a relaxing lifestyle, to snap up its final three-bedroom home at The Ridings in Leadgate, near Consett.

Set in the beautiful County Durham countryside, this development of 22 homes on Coniston Way combines peaceful village living with the convenience of extensive leisure and shopping facilities in the nearby cities of Newcastle upon Tyne and Durham.

The Hawkwood house style at plot 16 is a three-bedroom, mid-town house with integral garage and fitted carpets throughout. The kitchen comes with a Bosch single oven and gas hob and adjacent dining area. The master bedroom has a large wardrobe and Kohler sanitary ware features in the en suite, the main bathroom and two further cloakrooms on the ground and first floors. This home is available for £134,950.

To help get homebuyers moving in to their dream home, Lovell Eastern offers a range of exciting incentives, the most popular of which has been its shared equity scheme. Under the terms of this scheme, a purchaser can pay an agreed 75% of a property now and leave payment on the remaining 25% until a later date. Crucially though, the person owes 100% of the property and has absolutely no rent or interest to pay on the bit they have deferred.

Anita Onal, sales advisor at The Ridings, comments, “We’re looking for a family that can really help turn this house into a home. Set over three floors, it’s a spacious property with a large living room and generously sized bedrooms for everyone.

“Current residents have said that the development is a quiet and peaceful place to live with those with children particularly commenting how safe it is from traffic problems, being tucked away as it is from the main roads and not on a through road. Interest is expected to be high in this one remaining property, so I’d strongly advise any interested purchasers to get in touch now to avoid disappointment.”

Formerly a home for the workers and staff of Eden Colliery and Consett Iron Company up until the 1980s, the village of Leadgate is a close knit community with good public transport links and a number of shops and amenities, such as a small supermarket, newsagent, post office, bakery and a hairdressers. More extensive shopping is available in the nearby town of Consett, less than two miles away.

The marketing suite and show home at The Ridings is open Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 5pm. For more information, visit the website at lovell.co.uk/newhomes.
