A private release — Ponteland Fringe · Northumberland

Woolsington Dene

Nineteen homes, named for the great castles of Northumberland.
Released quietly, to a small list.

On the wooded edge where Newcastle gives way to open Northumberland, nineteen homes take the names of the county’s great strongholds. The grander the home, the grander the castle.

The tree-lined green at the heart of Woolsington Dene

The Setting

The last of the city.
The first of the county.

Open fields to the east, the eighteenth-century stone of Peck’s House Farm to the west, and the wooded dene beyond. A village green of more than 1,500 square metres sits at the heart of the scheme, the existing wildlife corridor is drawn into its southern edge, and the mature boundary trees and hedgerows are kept.

Within easy reach of the region’s leading schools — Ponteland High, the Royal Grammar School and Dame Allan’s among them.

The Story

Eight centuries in the name.

the wolf · the mapmaker · the castles

1204

The wolf in the name

First written down over eight hundred years ago, Woolsington is the settlement of Wulfsige — Old English for wolf, and victory. A wolf has watched over this ground since before the record began.

1717

The mapmaker’s farm

Richard Peck, a self-made colliery viewer, built Peck’s House Farm here — and became celebrated for his hand-drawn plans of the Tyne coalfield. He drew the land before he owned it. These homes are built in the same spirit of precision.

The Interiors

Lance Interiors

Woolsington Dene is designed by Lance, the interior-design house behind some of the North’s most considered private homes. Every elevation, threshold and material has been drawn by the same hand that specifies the interiors — which is why these homes will not look, or live, like anything else in the region.

Every room begins with what it’s made of.
