Gleeson unveils its latest showhome in Stanley
Gleeson Homes, the leading builder of high‑quality, affordable homes across the North of England and the Midlands, has officially opened the doors to its brand-new show home at its Rivers Walk development in Stanley.
Visitors can now view the impressive four-bedroom detached Blessington show home, which highlights Gleeson’s modern layouts, practical design features and upgraded specifications.
Rivers Walk will deliver 59 much-needed 2, 3 and 4‑bedroom semi‑detached and detached homes, as well as 2‑bedroom bungalows. Situated in the heart of Stanley, the development offers a perfect blend of contemporary living and community charm, with excellent access to local amenities, well-regarded schools, transport links and the picturesque surrounding countryside.
All homes at Rivers Walk come with Gleeson’s upgraded specification included as standard, giving buyers exceptional value from day one. Features include a block‑paved driveway, turf to both front and rear gardens, full fencing with gate, an outside tap, and a vehicle charging point on every plot.
Designed using modern methods of construction and fitted with energy‑efficient technologies, Gleeson homes provide a sustainable and cost-effective living option. An impressive 96% of Gleeson homes achieve an EPC rating of B or above, helping homeowners reduce energy bills. According to the recent HBF Watt a Save report, owners of a new build home could see a saving of over £420 a year when compared to an existing property. At Rivers Walk, all properties feature air source heat pumps in addition to electric charging points, further reinforcing Gleeson’s commitment to lowering running costs and supporting greener living.
While the show home opened to the public late last year, the official launch was marked with an exclusive event, complete with a complimentary coffee van offering refreshments to all visitors. The day generated strong interest, with three homes reserved during the event. Property seekers are encouraged to visit the development themselves, explore the show home and learn more about the buying schemes available such as Part Exchange and Deposit Contribution.
“The team and I were proud to unveil our latest new show home, The Blessington, at the official opening weekend. Rivers Walk reflects our ongoing commitment to create vibrant, sustainable communities that people are proud to call home. With such a fantastic mix of homes available and great local amenities on its doorstep, Rivers Walk is already proving to be a very popular development for both first-time buyers and those looking to downsize.”
Gleeson has a further development in Stanley, named Ousterley Woods, which is expected to open its own show homes over the Easter weekend. Prospective buyers are encouraged to register their details for updates.
The sales centre and show home at Rivers Walk are open Thursday to Monday, 10am-5pm. Visitors can book an appointment with the Sales Executive or simply drop in during opening hours.
