Construction is moving ahead swiftly at two new housing developments in Ryton, where more than 150 homes have now been completed.

Bellway is building 180 new homes at Summerhill View, while its subsidiary, Ashberry Homes, is developing 103 properties at the neighbouring Stargate Meadows. Both developments are located off Cushy Cow Lane and work began in 2022.

As of now, a total of 156 homes have been finished—97 at Summerhill View and 59 at Stargate Meadows. The first residents began moving into their homes in January 2023, and today, 130 properties are already occupied.

These developments are set to provide much-needed housing in the area, with both Bellway and Ashberry Homes focusing on creating high-quality, modern living spaces. Construction is expected to continue, with further homes planned for completion in the coming months.


Emma Chesterton, Sales Director for Bellway North East, said: “Construction work has passed the halfway mark at our two Ryton developments and with more than 100 homes now occupied, a thriving new community is beginning to take shape.

"The developments have attracted a nice mix of first-time buyers and families and are proving especially popular with local buyers. Many of our customers have told us how much they love the location, which has a rural feel despite being within easy reach of Newcastle city centre."

Both Summerhill View and Stargate Meadows feature a range of two, three and four-bedroom houses for private sale. Across the two developments, Bellway and Ashberry are providing 240 properties for sale on the open market, 15 homes available at a discounted market value to eligible local buyers, and 28 homes for affordable rent.

Construction work is due to finish at both developments in 2026.
