What we love about Plot One Ditchburn Road and South Charlton
We love the eco credentials of this home, rated A for energy efficiency, the running costs will be easy on the pocket and kind to the environment. With the layout of this home, there is so much flexibility with the accommodation layout, appealing to a wide range of buyers’ needs. We are big fans of a traditional sandstone build, epitomising the soul of Northumbrian Countryside living. It’s satisfies our need for nostalgia but also incorporates contemporary elements and sustainability, bringing together the best of two worlds. We love a new build home that is sympathetic to the local landscape yet offers the very best in modern building and eco-features.
