Moorland Green by Gleeson Homes · Mill Road, Chopwell, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE17 7BN, Gateshead

Moorland Green is a new build homes development by Gleeson Homes, situated off Mill Road in the semi-rural village of Chopwell, Gateshead, NE17 7BN. This development, which comprises a total of 205 traditionally built properties, focuses on providing affordable, low-cost housing primarily aimed at first-time buyers and young families in the North East. The development consists of a mix of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom house types.

While the current phase is sold out, new properties are expected to be released in the upcoming phase, 'The View at Moorland Green,' which is scheduled to launch in late 2025. Representative properties from the previous phases include popular house designs such as the detached three-bedroom 'Kilkenny' and the semi-detached three-bedroom 'Wicklow,' 'Tyrone,' and 'Woodford' models. All Moorland Green new build homes include a high level of standard features designed for practicality and low maintenance, such as turf laid to the front and rear gardens, full 6ft timber fencing, and an outside tap. Selected plots feature an Air Source Heat Pump, representing an energy-efficient heating solution. Purchasers receive a 10-Year Warranty, comprising the first two years directly with Gleeson Homes and a further eight years with NHBC. Moorland Green offers an attractive combination of semi-rural living with excellent commuter access to major employment and retail centres. The development sits adjacent to the extensive Chopwell Wood, a mixed conifer and broadleaf woodland covering almost 900 acres of the Derwent Valley, which is accessible for walking and cycling.
