Modern, low-maintenance semi-detached home ideal for first-time buyers close to green space.
Three bedrooms with open-plan kitchen-diner and separate living room
French doors to modest rear garden; private driveway and garage
High-quality fittings and Porcelanosa bathroom tiling as standard
10-year warranty (2 years Gleeson, 8 years NHBC)
Leasehold tenure — check length, ground rent and service charges
Small overall plot size within medium-sized development
Broadband speeds reported as slow locally
Local crime levels above average — factor into family or rental plans
The Glin is a new-build three-bedroom semi-detached home designed for first-time buyers seeking modern, low-maintenance living close to Durham. Ground-floor open-plan kitchen-diner and a separate living room with French doors offer practical family space and easy indoor–outdoor flow to a modest rear garden. Driveway and garage provide private parking — useful in a small-town setting.
High-quality fixtures from recognised brands and Porcelanosa-tiled bathroom come as standard, and a 10-year warranty (first 2 years with Gleeson, then 8 years with NHBC) offers measurable peace of mind. Buyers can personalise finishes with optional upgrades while the property remains at build stage — note these incur additional cost and subject to availability.
Important practical points: the home is leasehold, on a small plot within a medium-sized suburban development, and broadband speeds are reported as slow. Local area is very affluent with easy access to Bearpark Colliery Woods, Bearpark Primary School and Durham city (approx. 2 miles), but crime levels are above average locally — factor this into family or rental decisions.
This property suits first-time purchasers looking for contemporary, energy-efficient accommodation close to green space and schools, and for investors seeking a modern build with warranty protection. Be aware of ongoing running considerations (broadband, local crime) and potential extra costs for bespoke upgrades and future service charges associated with leasehold ownership.
