Gleeson set to deliver 97 new homes in Leadgate
Gleeson Homes, the leading housebuilder delivering high-quality homes at great value, is pleased to announce the acquisition of land off Pont Lane in Leadgate. This development will bring 97 much-needed new homes following the receipt of detailed planning permission last year.
The new development, named Leadgate Meadows, is ideally located just two miles from Consett town centre and within easy reach of both Durham and Newcastle, offering excellent transport links and access to local amenities. Its location provides the perfect balance of connectivity and community, making it an ideal place for people from all walks of life, from first-time buyers to downsizers and families.
Leadgate Meadows will provide a thoughtfully designed mix of 2, 3 and 4‑bedroom homes and bungalows, set within generous landscaped green spaces to support a welcoming and sustainable community environment. As part of Gleeson’s ongoing commitment to affordability, 15 of the homes will be delivered as Affordable Homes through Discount Market Sale or Affordable Rent, helping to ensure that local people have access to high-quality, attainable housing.
Prices are expected to start from around £155,000, with construction due to begin imminently. Showhomes are scheduled to launch towards the end of the year, allowing prospective buyers to explore the development first-hand and experience the quality and value that Gleeson is known for.
As part of the development, Gleeson will provide over £585,000 in Section 106 contributions, thereby making a meaningful investment in the local area. This includes funding towards local Education, SEND provision, Open Spaces and Healthcare, helping to support essential services and enhance community wellbeing as Leadgate continues to grow.
“Leadgate Meadows embodies everything we stand for at Gleeson. Thoughtfully designed homes, accessible prices, and communities shaped with care. We’re excited to bring forward a development that blends quality, affordability, and a strong sense of place. Leadgate is a fantastic location, and we’re proud to play a part in its continued growth and success.”
Gleeson looks forward to delivering high-quality, affordable homes for local people and contributing positively to the continued growth and vibrancy of the Leadgate community.
