With a collection of prestigious residential developments, a thriving local community, and a significant increase in all areas of business and economic development in recent years, Tees Valley is a great place to live, work and plant roots.
In recent years Wynyard has become one of the most sought after addresses in the North of England, set within 885 acres of woodland, surrounded by parkland and close to a quaint village centre.
With a range of some of the most luxury homes in the region, bespoke and unique self-build properties, gated and secure monitored areas and a homely village feel, it’s no wonder that Wynyard is such a desirable area to live in the North East.
Just an hour from Newcastle International Airport, the area hosts a collection of secure, luxurious residential developments including those by Robertson Homes and Vivre Executive Homes, both of which are marketed by Bradley Hall Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents.
Both of these luxury new home developments offer residents a stunning, secure space to raise a family. The Robertson Homes Wynyard Estate development offers properties that range in size, with five or six bedrooms, three and four bathrooms, and a selection of living spaces varying from three or four per home. The Wynyard Estate also focuses on bringing the outdoors in. With large picture windows throughout each property, a signature garden room, as well as a large garden, this development is all about making the most of light and space.
Another exclusive development in Wynyard is Vivre Rise, by Vivre Executive Homes. This opulent development of nine spectacular mansions offers residents homes that have between six and seven bedrooms, some with a pool and gym area, three receptions rooms, and a triple garage.
As well as luxury properties, Wynyard offers its residents a range of indulgent eateries including The Stables and The Glass House at Wynyard Hall.
The Stables is a family business that has been in Wynyard since 2005. Having a chef as its owner means that the restaurant is passionate about the food it serves, and this is certainly showcased throughout the extensive menu. The Stables use locally sourced produce and the highest quality ingredients are used for each individual dish. This venue’s speciality is its famous cheesecake creations with a myriad of flavour fusions, including favourites Chocolate Orange and Milkybar with Oreo base, or Kinder Bueno with Hippo topper and Hobnob biscuit base.
Wynyard Hall’s newest restaurant, The Glass House offers its guests a ‘plotto-plate’ experience which focuses on estate-grown produce and local suppliers to deliver a totally unique and authentic experience. The Glass House presents its visitors with a botanical celebration of both design and flavour within a relaxed dining atmosphere with panoramic views over the kitchen garden at the iconic Wynyard Hall.
Wynyard Hall itself showcases generations of social and political influence through the Londonderry family and their circle of friends. Wynyard Hall played host to royals, aristocrats, politicians, diplomats, artists and writers. Sir John Hall purchased Wynyard Hall in 1987, maintaining the Hall as one of the most renowned properties in the North East. It was transformed into one of the most prestigious hotels and wedding and spa destinations in region.
The developments within the residential and hospitality sector have most certainly been thanks to the catalyst of significant economic growth within the borough in recent years. Tees Valley has become a hub of redevelopment, investment and modernisation thanks to the vision and drive of Tees Valley Combined Authority Mayor, Ben Houchen. Mayor Houchen has led the improvements at Teesside Airport, has created a large number of jobs across the region, as well as supporting significant business wins including Hitachi and LNER.
The Hitachi contract win will future proof Tees Valley’s transport links through the construction of the country’s high speed ‘bullet trains’ in a move that will create and support 2,500 jobs. Other transport news recently saw the Tees Valley Mayor welcome LNER’s first direct train from Middlesbrough to London, the station’s first service in more than 30 years, further enhancing the transport links of the area.
Mayor Houchen has supported work to deliver the South Bank Quay, which recently reached a major milestone with mammoth steel piles being driven into the ground to strengthen the quay wall. The 1km quay itself, once completed, will support ambitions to make the site the UK’s premier offshore wind hub and will be used by GE Renewable Energy. The projects have been supporting the Government’s target to be a world leader for offshore wind by 2035 and the UK’s plan to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Teesside International Airport has also expanded rapidly under Mayor Houchen’s lead. Not only has the Airport taken on flights from KLM, TUI, Ryanair, Loganair and many more, but it has also created a successful recruitment drive in recent months, including a firefighter recruitment drive at the start of 2022.
The Teesside Airshow is set to return this summer with plans to attract up to 25,000 people to the air show after it was grounded for the past five years. Due to take place in June 2022, the programme will include everything that was planned for 2020 and more, such as a series of fly-bys and aeroplanes, a classic car show, displays from the Army and a funfair, as well as live music and a range of stalls, including street food and hot drinks. The reintroduction of events such as these will not only showcase all the important upgrades that have taken place in the area, but also demonstrates the importance of culture in Tees Valley.
The positive residential, business, transport and additional industry changes that have been made under Mayor Houchen set Tees Valley on track for a confident future for residents and business tycoons alike.
