County Durham housebuilder, Homes by Esh, is preparing to open its doors to a brand-new show home located near Houghton-le-Spring.
The Collier Gardens development features 35 premium quality, energy efficient homes, comprising three and four-bedroom detached properties in a variety of house types, providing a range of choice for potential customers. Buyers can also benefit from part exchange deals on the development, making it easier to move into a new home by trading in their existing property as part of the purchase.
The four-bedroom show home ‘The Magnolia’ is one of nine house styles featured within the development at Philadelphia Lane and will open this weekend on Saturday 27th September.
To mark the opening of the new show home, Homes by Esh will welcome customers to explore the site’s design and features first-hand. The launch event gives future buyers an early look at the quality and range available within the Collier Gardens development, with experts on hand to discuss house types, design options, and the energy-efficient innovations that set these homes apart.
Homes by Esh’s Deputy Managing Director, Colin Willetts, said: “The launch of the show homes at Collier Gardens marks an exciting time for everyone involved with the Homes by Esh team. We have developed a product range to attract buyers looking for a home with greener credentials, and pride ourselves on our exceptional customer service – you can be assured that you are in the best hands.”
Each home will be greener and more economical than traditional homes and will benefit from energy efficient features, including electric vehicle charging points, solar panels, smart meters and smart thermostats. The homes will feature increased floor and loft insulation, ventilation and energy efficiency.
Collier Gardens has been built using stone, sympathetic to the character of the surrounding area, and will be landscaped with a biodiversity net gain in mind. Open space will be maximised, with connections to public open spaces to encourage walking and cycling.
Every property built by Homes by Esh undergoes thorough quality control checks before it is handed over to buyers and comes with a 10-year Premier warranty to give some peace of mind.
With Philadelphia Lane located on the A182, it has good connections to the A690, A1 and A19 while Houghton-le-Spring has numerous educational options and a multitude of local amenities on its doorstep.
Queries and sales for the homes at Collier Gardens are now being taken, with prices at the Philadelphia development starting from £239,995.
Homes by Esh has a wide range of developments, with locations including Darlington, Trimdon and Sunderland. Show homes at Bluebell Gardens in Trimdon Village recently launched, while first handovers at the flagship scheme Havelock Park took place, with a total of 44 executive homes to be built by 2027. Meanwhile in Sunderland, planning has recently been submitted to build 49 high-quality homes in Tunstall.
