Gleeson Homes, the leading provider of high‑quality, affordable new homes across the North of England and the Midlands, has officially launched two brand‑new show homes at its Ousterley Woods development in Stanley.
The opening gives homebuyers the opportunity to step inside the four‑bedroom detached Dalkey show home, ideal for growing families, alongside the two‑bedroom Moy bungalow show home, perfectly suited to downsizers or those seeking low-maintenance living. Both show homes showcase Gleeson’s contemporary layouts, practical design features and enhanced upgraded specification.
Located on the edge of Stanley, Ousterley Woods will deliver 181 much‑needed, high‑quality homes to the area, including a range of two, three and four‑bedroom semi‑detached and detached properties, as well as two‑bedroom bungalows. With prices starting from £159,995, the homes cater to the needs of first-time buyers and those also seeking affordable homes.
The development combines modern living with strong community appeal and benefits from convenient access to local amenities, well‑regarded schools, transport links and the surrounding countryside.
All homes at Ousterley Woods include Gleeson’s upgraded specification as standard, ensuring exceptional value for buyers from day one. This includes a block‑paved driveway, turf to front and rear gardens, full fencing with a gate, an outside tap, and an electric vehicle charging point on every plot.
Built using modern methods of construction and incorporating energy‑efficient technologies, Gleeson homes offer a more sustainable and cost‑effective living option. An impressive 96% of Gleeson homes achieve an EPC rating of B or above, helping homeowners reduce their energy bills. According to the HBF Watt a Save report, buyers of a new‑build home could save more than £420 a year compared to owners of older properties. At Ousterley Woods, all homes also benefit from air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points, further supporting greener living and reduced running costs.
The official launch of the show homes was celebrated with a special event over the Easter weekend. Visitors enjoyed a complimentary coffee van, daily Easter egg hunts and a visit from the Easter Bunny, creating a welcoming, family‑friendly atmosphere. The event generated strong interest, resulting in reservations being secured, including a home purchased through Gleeson’s Part Exchange scheme.
Prospective buyers are encouraged to visit the development to explore the new show homes and learn more about the range of buying schemes available, including Deposit Contribution and First‑time Buyer Assist, designed to make home ownership more accessible.
Daniel Hallowell, Sales Manager at Gleeson Homes, commented:
“We are delighted to officially open the doors to our new show homes at Ousterley Woods which perfectly demonstrate the quality and practicality of the homes available on the development. With our wide choice of homes available we’re proud to be meeting the needs of first-time buyers, growing families and downsizers alike.
The strong interest we saw at the launch event clearly reflects the demand for high-quality, affordable new homes in Stanley, and we look forward to welcoming more customers to the development as we help them find their dream home..”
