New build homes in Tyne & Wear
Tyne and Wear has a long-standing reputation for building things to last, from the 1725 Causey Arch to the Angel of the North.
At Gleeson Homes, we are proud to continue this tradition by providing high-quality, affordable homes that put you right in the middle of this popular area in the North East.
Why choose a new home in Tyne and Wear?
From popular cities to a beautiful coastline, there are plenty of reasons why you should choose a new home in Tyne and Wear. Located in the North East and bordered by Northumberland and County Durham, you’ll find a region that places Newcastle and Sunderland city centres just a short drive away from the cliffs of South Shields and the beaches of Tynemouth.
Things to do in Tyne and Wear
Beyond the Angel of the North, you have the Shipley Art Gallery for contemporary art and Saltwell Park, one of Britain’s finest examples of a Victorian Park, which is great for a family outing. Looking for a fun day out, rich in history? Beamish Museum is a world-famous open-air museum where you can enjoy stepping back in time, embracing the 1950s style.
In Newcastle, the Discovery Museum and the Life Science Centre gives you a more modern look at the world, while the Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens provides a botanical escape from the North Sea breeze.
Plus, you’ll also benefit from being only a short drive away from the Metrocentre. Recognised as one of the most popular shopping centres in the North East, here you’ll find over 270 stores to explore and then when you’re all shopped out, there’s an Odeon Cinema and Namco Funscape for arcades, bowling and dodgems.
Is it easy to get outdoors in Tyne and Wear?
Our new build developments in Tyne and Wear are positioned to give you the best of the Derwent Valley, with the 900-acre expanse of Chopwell Wood, the largest woodland in the county.
You’ll also benefit from a great coastline. Tynemouth Longsands and Whitley Bay are famous for their surf culture and wide stretches of sand, while the Leas in South Shields has limescale cliffs and grassy paths to explore. Even in the heart of Newcastle, the Town Moor provides an open space where cattle graze, offering a massive green lung right next to the high street.
How easy is it to get around Tyne and Wear?
Getting around Tyne and Wear is simple due to the Tyne and Wear Metro, which has seen a £362 million investment in a brand-new fleet of Class 555 trains, making the journey from the coast to the airport more reliable and comfortable.
Travelling further afield? The Newcastle Central Station is a key location on the East Coast Main Line, reaching Edinburgh in 90 minutes and London in around three hours. For drivers, the A1(M) and A19 provide links up and down the country, whereas Newcastle International Airport handles holiday and business departures to dozens of global destinations.
