Countryside on your doorstep and the City in your sights
Oaklands offers the best of all worlds.
The cluster of suburban ‘villages’ that surround Tyneside have long been popular with house buyers who seek the relaxed and intimate lifestyle associated with smaller settlements, but still want the convenience and style of City Living. Places such as Gosforth, Jesmond, Whickham and Low Fell have proven popular over the years by offering the best of both worlds; intimate and exclusive neighbourhoods with the City nearby. In the past, home buyers have had to recognise that this lifestyle choice was expensive; demand for homes in these areas simply outstrips supply.
However things are changing, improving road and public transport links across the Region have created a ripple effect with buyers able to find the lifestyle they desire a little further afield and they are finding it can be more affordable than ever.
Alasdair Hall, Meadowcroft’s Director has just witnessed this on the Company’s Oaklands Development, “We are seeing clients moving from the suburbs and choosing the tranquil setting of Oaklands, without having to give up the convenience of having the City nearby. We have just secured the sale of Holly House, within 24 hours of our advertisement appearing in the Homemaker, to clients who are moving from Wickham.
“There’s no doubt that clients are putting lifestyle at the top of their agenda and Oaklands does a great job of mixing the best of a rural lifestyle with the convenience of an urban setting.”
Located on the edge of the village of West Kyo in County Durham, Oaklands is able to offer the buyer country walks from their doorstep, a village pub (Ye Olde Earl Grey) just around the corner and open fields disappearing to the horizon. Yet the bright lights and fabulous shopping of the Metro Centre or Durham City can be reached in 15 minutes. Theatres in Durham and Newcastle, the Sage in Gateshead , World Heritage sites in Durham City and at Hadrian’s Wall – all are easily accessible from Oaklands and this very exclusive development of just seven new homes is surprisingly affordable. Meadowcroft are offering a 105% part exchange deal, so you don’t have to wait to sell your own property, or, if you are a first time buyer, you can move in for as little as £100. Oaklands offers detached 3 bedroom homes from £159,950 and 4 bedroom homes from £210,000. Some homes include a conservatory in the price, although you will need to hurry as Meadowcroft have only two of these left.
Alasdair says, “We have been building homes in the North East for more than 20 years. Many of our new homes have been at the top of the market, selling for more than £1 million. Our clients are discerning and look for a sound investment as well as a beautiful home. We are delighted to have been able to put all of that experience into our Oaklands development. These homes are affordable, while offering our usual high standards of style, craftsmanship and investment value.”
