Homes England has put a residential development site in Morpeth, Northumberland, up for sale. 

Phase two of the Cottingwood residential scheme, which is located approximately one mile north of Morpeth town centre, covers 8.43 acres and has the capacity for around 51 new homes. 

The site forms part of the wider Cottingwood estate and offers the potential for further residential development in the future.

The fully serviced land already has outline planning consent and is available on a conditional freehold basis to low medium volume housebuilders.

Samantha Curtis, development manager at Homes England, said: “Cottingwood represents an excellent opportunity for housebuilders to play a key role in meeting local housing needs while contributing to the long-term growth of Morpeth. This phase will help bring forward a well-planned extension to the town, supporting both existing and future communities. We’re pleased to be working with Avison Young to bring the site to market and to continue driving the delivery of quality homes across Northumberland.”

Mark McKelvey, director at Avison Young, which has been appointed to market the opportunity, added: “We’re delighted to be bringing the next phase of Cottingwood to market on behalf of Homes England. It’s a rare opportunity for developers to deliver much-needed new housing in one of the North East’s most desirable locations.

“With existing infrastructure already in place and outline consent secured, the site offers a clear route to delivery and a chance to create a high quality residential community close to the heart of Morpeth. We welcome enquiries from developers who share the vision of creating sustainable, attractive homes that complement the wider Cottingwood estate.”
