A first look at how a 288-property housing estate will look once built in County Durham has been revealed.

The first images of the Miller Homes North East’s new Fellside Gardens site have been unveiled by the developer - showing how they will overlook the Lanchester Valley, at Delves Lane, Consett.

As part of the reveal of the first images, Miller Homes is appealing to potential homebuyers that there is an upcoming special sales event.

Already, five houses have been bought, according to Miller Homes, with an event set for July 20, which will inform other potential buyers.

Miller Homes staff will be on hand throughout the day to answer questions, guide potential buyers through the house styles, and specifications and guide prices of the first homes set to be released for sale.

According to the developers "The Fellside Gardens development will include three distinct character areas, which will provide a mix of street scenes in a semi-rural setting."

The houses will include energy-saving features such as external electric vehicle charging points, flue gas and waste water heat recovery systems and solar PV diverters which divert excess electricity to the hot water cylinder.

“Interest has been particularly high for Fellside Gardens,” said sales director Lauren Angus, “which isn’t surprising given its location and the opportunity to enjoy a semi-rural lifestyle that it offers.

“We are always very excited to unveil a show home and our design team has excelled with the Wilkin, which is beautiful.

“We will have everything in place on the day to not only showcase the development but to guide and advise anyone looking to make a move through the house-buying process.”
