Long awaited sales launch in Gateshead

William Leech 55+, a subsidiary of leading housebuilder Persimmon Homes specialising in developing housing for the more mature market, is releasing the first phase of apartments for sale at its eagerly anticipated St James’ Court development in Gateshead.

Kevin Thubron of William Leech 55+, explains: “St James’ Court is the first of a number of planned William Leech 55+ developments in the region and, since we launched the company at the end of last year, a lot of interest has been generated.

“We have a long list of enquires and felt that February would be an ideal time for the sales launch as construction at the site is progressing well and the complex is really starting to take shape.  We find the more progressed a site is, the better it is received, as homebuyers can visualise where they could be living.”

The complex of 63 apartments offers residents communal lounge and kitchen facilities, a conservatory, laundry room and reception with liaison officer, as well as exceptional security features, including secure door entry-phone access, a burglar alarm for each apartment and 24-hour assistance from a property management company.  Prices start from just £96,950.

Positioned just off the A184 Felling By-Pass, the development has excellent transport links via the nearby Gateshead Stadium Metro station and a regular bus service; it is also within easy reach of the A19 and A1, providing access to the region’s wider road network.
