For the generation of us that reached the legal age to drink in the late 1960s, West Kyo will be known as the location of YE OLDE EARL GREY INN. Perhaps the first pub on Tyneside that could be called ‘gourmet’, this was where we went to have a pint of Scottish & Newcastle’s best and enjoy chicken in a basket, while we re-lived the excitement of the Toon’s march into Europe.
So what has become of West Kyo in the 21st century? New roads have made the village even more accessible to Tyneside and Durham City, the Earl Grey remains as the local pub and the quality of life is probably better than ever. With heather-clad moors and picturesque reservoirs close by, villagers can get to the Metro Centre in 15 minutes and Durham City in not much more. It was this wonderfully central location that first attracted Meadowcroft Homes and they were delighted to have the chance to create their Oaklands development, an exclusive group of eleven detached homes, on the edge of the Village.
If you can remember those days of flared trousers and paisley shirts, you may be seeking a future in the tranquillity of village life, or perhaps you’re too young to recall such a time; starting out on life with a new family, then the central location of West Kyo, with easy access to the Region’s employment centres will make sure your future is full of opportunity. Oaklands has it all. A Meadowcroft home in West Kyo will guarantee you a future of quality, convenience and exclusivity – although we can’t guarantee entry into Europe any time soon!
Meadowcroft have detached 3 bedroom homes from £139,950 and 4 bedroom homes from £210,000. Some include a conservatory in the price.
