Your Place

At William Leech 55+, we understand how important location is when choosing a new home.  Couple that with a fantastically designed property to suit your needs and you have your dream home.  That is why when we choose the location of our developments we consider not only the favourability of the location, but also its proximity to local amenities and transport.

Welcome to St James’ Court

Comprising 63 luxurious one and two bedroom apartments, St James’ Court is located within St James’ Village, the popular landmark community at the heart of the Gateshead Riverside redevelopment.

This urban village has been sympathetically designed with a series of ‘neighbourhoods’, St James’ Court being one of these.

Each neighbourhood has a clear public frontage where doors and windows overlook attractive boulevards allowing residents to see activities and taking place outdoors, this encourages a strong community spirit and heightens the sense of security.

Situated beside the main boulevard through the village, St James’ Court preserves its independence as the grounds are enclosed by attractive walls and railings.  Mature trees and shrubbery are also an integral feature of the landscaped setting.

On-site facilities include a laundry room, lounge and conservatory, all maintained by our managers who are available to provide assistance to residents throughout each day.  There is a nearby supermarket to cater for everyday needs and for shopping on a larger scale, Gateshead Stadium Metro station is just a short walk away, providing regular services to Gateshead town centre, Newcastle and Sunderland.  For holidays or day trips the Metro also provides access to Newcastle International Airport, Newcastle Central railway station and the coast.  Other local facilities include a post office, newsagent and health centre.
