Work has started on new homes in South East Northumberland.
Following the success of Amethyst Homes’ Sleekburn View nearby, the developer is launching a brand-new development at the Pastures, which will create 48 two, three and four bedroomed attached and detached properties for the area.
Laying the first bricks were Richard Bass, Managing Director of Amethyst Homes, Gary Coils Construction Director, Paula Spoor Sales Manager, Site Manager, Ken Forsyth and Anne Francis Home Sales Executive.
The Pastures will offer seven different house styles – a mix of detached and semi-detached options- all built to high design and space standards. All will meet – and where possible exceed – the regulatory requirements around sustainability and energy efficiency.
Five of the 28 properties built, we be made available to purchase at a discounted market value as affordable homes for local residents. It is anticipated that the first home will be completed in late Spring next year, with completion of the site expected at the end of 2025.
Richard Bass, Managing Director with Amethyst Homes, said: “It is rewarding to see construction starting on site, as the whole team has worked incredibly hard to get us to this point, following a successful planning application.
“Sleekburn View has proved popular with buyers, so we are confident that The Pastures will attract house hunters to the area. South East Northumberland has much to offer, including the introduction of a new passenger rail service between Ashington and Newcastle Central Station, scheduled to open next year and the site offers good access to the A189 (Spine Road), and coastal routes.”
As part of the development, Amethyst will be installing new footpaths linking the village to the bus stops on Brock Lane as well as making contributions to Coastal Mitigation, education and health initiatives.
