Woodhorn Grange by Charles Church · Faldo Drive, Ashington, Northumberland NE63 9JL

Woodhorn Grange is a new build homes development by Charles Church, the premium brand of Persimmon plc, located off Faldo Drive in Ashington, Northumberland (NE63 9JL). This development, marketed as Phase 2, is focused exclusively on larger family housing, offering a collection of four and five-bedroom detached properties. Woodhorn Grange comprises 4 and 5 bedroom detached new build homes.

The designs are contemporary and intended to offer spacious family accommodation. While specific house type names should be verified with the sales team, Charles Church generally equips its new homes with advanced energy-efficiency measures, including increased floor, wall, and loft insulation, and highly efficient heating systems such as energy-efficient condensing boilers and advanced double-glazing. The properties are sold with a two-year Charles Church warranty, supplemented by a 10-year insurance-backed structural warranty. All homes are subject to the standards and oversight of the New Homes Ombudsman Service. Woodhorn Grange is situated in an area of Ashington that provides excellent access to local amenities and strategic transport links. Ashington town centre, with a variety of shops, eateries, bars, and several large supermarkets, is located approximately a five-minute drive from the development. The historic market town of Morpeth, offering a wider selection of independent shops and leisure facilities, is approximately seven miles away. Transport & Commuting: The development benefits from excellent road connectivity via the A189, A197, and A1, which connects directly to the A19 for routes toward Newcastle, Sunderland, and Middlesbrough. Furthermore, the newly opened Ashington train station provides a significant advantage for rail commuters. The Northumberland Line offers two passenger trains per hour on weekdays, with a journey time from Ashington to Newcastle in approximately 35 minutes. Local bus services, including the Arriva X20 route, provide links between Ashington, Newcastle, and Alnwick. Local Amenities & Schools: Local recreational facilities include the Ashington Leisure Centre, located just over two miles away, which features a gym, two swimming pools, a spa, and a soft play area. The development is adjacent to Woodhorn Grange Country Park and the Queen Elizabeth II Lake, offering scenic walks and wildlife viewing. Primary and secondary schooling is accessible with Bishops Primary School, Central Primary School, St Aidan’s RC Primary School, Dukes Secondary School, and Ashington Academy all situated within a reasonable distance. Charles Church offers purchasing incentives such as Part Exchange and its own Home Change scheme. Prospective buyers should be aware that while Charles Church promotes a commitment to high-quality construction, the wider Persimmon Group brand has historically faced public criticism regarding build quality and customer service, an important factor for due diligence on any new build purchase. Viewing arrangements and specific plot availability should be confirmed by directly contacting the sales advisor at the Woodhorn Grange marketing suite, which operates Thursday through Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm.
