A NEW showhome at a Tynedale housing development is set to open for viewings this weekend.

A four-bedroom detached Acacia house type will be fully furnished to give prospective buyers an insight into the layout and design of typical properties at Bellway's Stanegate Manor development in Corbridge.

The showhome is due to open on Saturday (June 19).

When complete, the development, off Cow Lane, will comprise 58 new homes, including a mix of three and four-bedroom homes, as well as two-bedroom bungalows.

The housebuilder is providing 48 homes for private sale and 10 properties as affordable housing for local people through rent or shared ownership.

Stanegate Manor is part of a wider scheme of 181 homes being developed on the northern edge of Corbridge, off Milkwell Lane.

The first homes at the development have been reserved by buyers and the first residents are set to move in this autumn.

Emma Chesterton, Head of Sales for Bellway North East, said: "The attractive range of homes on offer at Stanegate Manor will suit a mix of buyers at different stages of the property ladder, from first-time buyers to growing families and downsizers.

"The Acacia is a beautiful house type and the showhome will enable visitors to see first-hand the high-quality design and build of properties we are providing within the village."

There is a selection of four-bedroom houses currently available to buy at Stanegate Manor, with prices starting from £329,995.
