Countryside on your doorstep and the city in easy reach
There was a time when living the rural dream meant giving up the convenience of the city, however things are changing, improving road and public transport links across the Region have meant that buyers are able to find the rural lifestyle they desire within easy reach of the city and they are finding it can be more affordable than ever.
Alasdair Hall, Director at Meadowcroft Homes, 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. 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 detached 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 £139,950 and 4 bedroom homes from £185,000. Some homes include a conservatory in the price, although you will need to hurry as Meadowcroft have only one or 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.”
