Settled along the River Tyne, a new home in the desirable and well-connected Dunston area offers relaxing riverside views, convenient everyday amenities and plenty of accessible green space for all the family. Here day-to-day essentials (and luxuries) are easy, with the equally popular Whickham Village and Metrocentre close by.
For city-sized culture, entertainment and amenities, you can be in Newcastle in under 10 minutes by car and under 30 minutes by public transport. Perfect for days out and shopping trips alike, the city features regular food markets, theatre, galleries, music venues and museums, and its very own castle – it’s an incredible location to call home.
Within walking distance, you have a true nature-lover's highlight, the beautiful Watergate Forest Park. Including stunning woodlands, wildflower meadows and walking trails for all ages, it’s a feature that truly makes Dunston a ‘good-life’ base to work and live.
For adventures into picturesque countryside, Derwent Country Park is just under 10 minutes away by car, and the Woodland Trust protected Hedley Hall Woods is under a 15-minute drive away. Days by the seaside at the coastal town of Whitley Bay aren’t far either, and will take you approximately 30 minutes by car.
Bordered by the A1 motorway, a new home here connects you quickly to the East Coast, all the way to Edinburgh. Further south, this route also takes you through the North, and to the capital city of London. For travel by rail, you have Dunston and the Metrocentre stations to choose from – with journeys to Newcastle taking under 10 minutes. And if international travel calls, Newcastle Airport is approximately a 15-minute drive away.
Perfect for growing families, young ones have the schools of Dunston, Gateshead and Newcastle to choose from.
