- Advertisement Feature
If you’ve been searching for new houses for sale in Northumberland and dream of a slower-paced countryside lifestyle, St. Helen’s Gate offers the perfect new build home for you.
Ascent Homes has announced the launch of St. Helen’s Gate, a new development in the beautiful Northumberland village of Longhorsley – and it’s set to become one of the region’s most desirable new addresses.
Construction is now well underway at St. Helen’s Gate and the site will launch this winter.
Nestled in the heart of Northumberland, Longhorsley is a picture-perfect village just a commuting mileage of 23 miles to Newcastle, seven miles from Morpeth and 14 miles from Alnwick. It’s the kind of place that perfectly balances rural tranquillity with easy access to the best of the North East.
CONTEMPORARY COUNTRY LIVING
Ascent Homes has designed each property at St. Helen’s Gate to complement Longhorsley’s character while offering the comfort and style you would expect.
The thoughtfully designed development will bring 55 contemporary homes to the area, each blending modern architecture with the traditional charm of the surrounding landscape.
There will be a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes, including detached, semi-detached, link-detached, alongside a selection of single-storey bungalows. 10 new house types will be introduced, each finished to Ascent Home’s high standards of quality, light and space. Plus, a range of affordable homes will be available.
Whether you’re a growing family looking for more room, a first-time buyer to get on the property ladder or seeking a peaceful downsizing move, St. Helen’s Gate offers homes designed to adapt to every lifestyle.
THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
Living in Longhorsley means enjoying a friendly village community surrounded by Northumberland’s open countryside. The village itself offers everything you’d expect from rural life – a friendly pub, village shop, local first school and a well-used village hall hosting events, classes and social gatherings.
The surrounding landscape offers endless opportunities to explore, from woodland walks and open moorland to the historic Devil’s Causeway. For days out, Morpeth’s boutiques, cafés and farmers’ markets are only a short drive away, while The Alnwick Garden and the county’s world-famous coastline are within easy reach.
For commuters, Longhorsley offers under a half an hour drive to Newcastle, making it ideal if you work in the city but crave a slower pace of life at home.
DESIGNED WITH NATURE IN MIND
Sustainability is at the heart of Ascent Homes’ philosophy, and St. Helen’s Gate reflects that vision.
The layout incorporates green corridors, landscaped open spaces and planting schemes designed to enhance local biodiversity while maintaining the character of the area.
DON’T MISS OUT
With its stunning setting, elegant design and strong community spirit, St. Helen’s Gate is more than a new development – it’s an opportunity to join a thriving village and embrace modern countryside living.
More information, including pricing and launch details, will be released soon.
