A collection of 31 brand-new two-, three- and four-bedroom homes are now available to rent at Benwell Dene, offering people the chance to be among the first residents of Placefirst’s newest neighbourhood in Newcastle’s West End.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These homes are the first to launch at Benwell Dene, a professionally managed rental community located off Delaval Road, just two miles from Newcastle city centre. The neighbourhood will eventually feature 146 high-quality, energy-efficient homes set among green spaces and open areas, creating a welcoming environment for families, couples and individuals looking for a thoughtfully designed home in a well-connected area.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each home offers spacious layouts, contemporary interiors and energy-efficient features designed to help reduce day-to-day household bills. Air source heat pumps, solar panels and enhanced insulation have been incorporated throughout, helping to ensure homes are comfortable, sustainable and cost-effective to run. <\/b>Every home also comes with its own electric vehicle charging point, alongside access to a resident car club, making it easier for residents to choose lower-carbon travel. The neighbourhood includes attractive communal gardens and individual terraces for each home, offering a balance of shared green <\/span><\/span><\/span>space and private outdoor areas to relax and unwind.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Opening alongside the first homes, the new community hub will provide a welcoming space for residents and a central place to access support as the new neighbourhood takes shape. It will also be the base for the on-site Resident Services Manager, ensuring help is close at hand for residents as they move in. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once complete, Benwell Dene will also feature landscaped streets, communal green spaces and open areas designed for residents to relax and socialise. Views across the Tyne Valley will enhance the sense of openness and connection to the wider landscape, while dedicated areas for biodiversity will help support local wildlife and improve the natural environment.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The new homes benefit from excellent transport connections, with Newcastle city centre accessible in around 10 minutes by road and 14 minutes by public transport. Residents are also close to local schools, shops and parks, making Benwell Dene an ideal location for family living.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike traditional private renting, residents at Benwell Dene benefit from Placefirst’s professional in-house management service, including a dedicated Resident Services Manager and responsive maintenance team.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Benwell Dene forms part of the wider transformation of Newcastle's West End, which is bringing new homes and green spaces to the area. Placefirst is already part of this growing community through its nearby neighbourhood of 40 homes at The Rise, and is continuing its commitment to providing high-quality homes for renters in Newcastle.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Anna Malone, Head of Lettings, at Placefirst,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b> said: “We’re pleased to be launching the first homes at Benwell Dene and look forward to welcoming our first residents to this new neighbourhood in Newcastle’s West End. These homes have been designed to offer space, quality and energy efficiency, giving renters a comfortable and well-connected place to live. This is just the beginning for Benwell Dene, and we’re looking forward to seeing the neighbourhood grow into a thriving place to live with a strong sense of community.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
