Major Northumberland housing development to deliver over 300 new homes

Northumberland based housebuilder Ascent Homes has announced that progress on its Phase 1 Willow Farm development is nearing completion, with construction on Phase 2 ready to begin.

A collection of 327 detached and semi-detached two, three and four-bedroom family houses and bungalows, Willow Farm is situated in the village of Choppington, approximately 14 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne.

The first stage of the development, which consists of more than 100 homes, is nearing completion, with Ascent Homes hopeful that more owners will be able to begin moving into the new properties soon.

The houses making up stage two of the development include alternative property types to those in stage one, and are now available for buyers to reserve. To date, 75 per cent have already been sold.

Once all phases of the development are finished, Willow Farm will feature tree-lined avenues and a green corridor running throughout the site, in keeping with the areas of natural beauty that surround it.

Gillian Bell, head of sales and marketing at Ascent Homes, commented: “Willow Farm is our largest housing project to date so we’re delighted that its development is progressing at such an impressive rate. We can’t wait for phase one to be complete so we can welcome more new residents and we know they’re eager to get in too!

“As a company that has always strived to improve the communities in which we operate, we’re proud that the addition of affordable housing will benefit those in housing need, even more so as it is people from the local area who will be the first priority for them.

“And with new builds being much more energy efficient than older properties, these new homes will also enable our new tenants to significantly reduce their day-to-day running costs at a time when the cost of living continues to rise too.”

Anna Yearham and Anthony Fyfe were among the first people to move into Willow Farm.

When asked about what attracted them to an Ascent Homes development and their experience of purchasing their property, they said: “We chose Ascent Homes over other builders because we loved the finish on the show home, the price was really good and the garage is huge! The layout also flows really well and the bedrooms are a great size.”
