The 44-home scheme at Havelock Park has been developed in the heart of Blackwell Grange, with the team also supporting the parkland restoration. Part of Esh Group, Homes by Esh is bringing four, five and six-bedroom homes to the market, with seven house types providing a range of choice for potential buyers – and the show homes will open this weekend, on Saturday, May 17th.
Residents at Havelock Park will be in the enviable position of gaining direct access to the parkland with a plethora of local services and amenities on their doorstep. A community orchard was formed within the parkland restoration project, while new trees that are sympathetic to the parkland’s origins were planted, with accompanying wildflower meadows and the restoration of the historic Balancing Pond.
Homes by Esh’s Deputy Managing Director, Colin Willetts, said: “The launch of the show homes at Havelock Park marks an exciting time for everyone connected to Homes by Esh. These homes represent a landmark moment for the team as we raise the bar in blending industry-leading building standards with our unique design and home stylings.”
All homes at Havelock Park are being built with energy efficiency at the forefront and will include water-conserving taps, air source heat pumps, increased insultation and ventilation, solar photovoltaic panels and electric vehicle charging points.
House types at Havelock Park have been inspired by 18th and 19th Century pioneers, with The Nightingale celebrating the life of Florence Nightingale.
Visitors to The Nightingale show home will get a flavour of life in a spacious, four-bedroom detached home which comes with flexible living areas and integral double garage. With an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and family area on the ground floor, the first floor will showcase prospective buyers with show-stopping master bedrooms, dressing areas and en-suite facilities.
Inspired by civil and mechanical engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the second show home at Havelock Park, The Brunel, offers a plentiful five-bedroom home over three floors. An open-plan kitchen and dining room opens out through bi-fold doors to an extensive garden facility. Luxury exudes through a myriad of rooms as you climb the stairs to the top floor, where the master bedroom comes complete with a large en-suite, where a freestanding bathtub provides a spa-like sanctuary.
Alongside The Nightingale and The Brunel, additional house types include The Wordsworth, The Austen and The Franklin.
The largest of the designs, The Franklin is a five-bedroom home set over three floors with integral double garage. Featuring an open-plan kitchen, family and breakfast area, it does come with a separate, well-proportioned lounge and dining room. The property’s large master bedroom is located on the first floor, alongside two bedrooms with contained en-suites, a further bedroom, study and family bathroom. The fifth bedroom – with en-suite – is located on the second floor.
Colin added: “The designs of these homes aren’t typical for a new build – they take inspiration from the 19th Century pioneers of the arts and crafts movement and existing homes around Darlington’s West End. We’re proud to be delivering homes with such design detail while also incorporating the latest features to reduce energy consumption, water usage and waste.”
Sales for the properties are now live, with prices starting from £649,995.
