Bondgate Homes has announced The Paddocks development of twenty-one exclusive homes is due to be completed by Autumn 2022, with the first plots due late Spring 2022. The properties are being marketed by leading North East Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents Bradley Hall from their Alnwick operation.
With uninterrupted views of the countryside accessible transport- links to the nearby bustling town centres of Morpeth and Alnwick as well as the coast, city and the airport, and a great deal of local history, The Paddocks will provide a stunning location to call home.
Rachel Trew, Project Development Manager at Bondgate Homes, said: “The Paddocks development has been specifically designed to preserve the heritage and beauty of the natural landscape, retaining as many of the existing hedgerows and trees, as possible, adding privacy to the gardens and a truly beautiful unique setting of a new build development.
“Positioned in an area of great local history, the site holds a special place in many people’s hearts and the developers were keen to incorporate these aspects into their design plans. The preservation of the hedgerows protects and enhances the ecology onsite whilst also maintaining the land’s heritage as Burgage plots, these plots also known as seven fields date back to Medieval times. In more recent years the land was used as horse paddocks hence the development aptly being named ‘The Paddocks’.”
The development will have 21 homes for sale including a mix of three, and four bedroom detached houses and a selection of three bedroom traditional and dormer style detached bungalows as well as four affordable homes that will be available for shared ownership sale with Heylo, the UK’s leading part-ownership housing provider.
The Paddocks is a collection of six different house types , each type beautifully designed to suit contemporary living while incorporating a traditional Northumberland style. Bondgate Homes is passionate about supporting the local economy in using materials sourced from the North East, and the Paddocks will be no exception. Considering the unique setting of the site and generous plot sizes, The Paddocks is set to be a hugely popular development.
Bondgate Homes has appointed local construction firm AstonWalker Developments Limited to build these outstanding family homes. The firm has a wealth of experience within the construction industry, working for FiveStar Housebuilders and Tier One Contractors with the aim to continue their success.
Acklington village is situated south of Amble and Alnwick, north of Morpeth and Newcastle, just inland from the coast of the picturesque North Sea. Nearby villages of Felton, Guyzance, Warkworth, Swarland and Thirston are in the immediate vicinity that offer a range of local services and facilities such as schools and shops. Acklington has previously been crowned as Northumberland Village of the Year – the village itself is quaint, with a parish church, train station, and plenty of nearby beaches perfect for coastal walks or picnics at the weekend. Around the village there is a range of walking, cycling, and running routes for those wishing to stay active while appreciating everything the rural and coastal landscape has on offer.
Historically Acklington is a village of reinvention and transformation. From farmers to colliers, before reverting to farming once more, the landscape and countryside of Acklington is some of the most attractive in the area. With Neolithic ring carvings, Bronze Age Human bones, Iron age settlement and a relic of a major Roman road, the area is filled with history and artefacts dating back thousands of years. When the Normans arrived, they built Warkworth Castle on the beautiful coastline in the 12th Century. The castle and hermitage are still in great condition for visitors and are perfect for a day out with the family.
Acklington has also been the home of RAF stations housing Spitfires, Hurricanes, and other notable fighter jets since 1918 and has also played a major role in the Second World War. Later a housing estate was built on the east side of the village to accommodate the officers and their families, today the accommodation still exists and is referred to locally as ‘The Married Quarters’.
Today Acklington is a village of enterprise: from a multi-million-pound turnover generated at Acklington Auction Mart, to smaller specialist businesses like Morwick Dairy Ice Cream, and the family run brewery, Rigg & Furrow.
