Work Commences On Saxon Vale In Sadberge

Written by Jo Bentham | May 14, 2025 8:00:00 AM

We’re excited to announce that work is now officially underway at Saxon Vale, our brand-new luxury development in the beautiful village of Sadberge, County Durham.

This exclusive scheme will bring 46 executive homes to the area, including a range of thoughtfully designed 3, 4, 5, and 6-bedroom properties. Each home will reflect our commitment to quality, style and sustainability — boasting premium finishes and smart, modern layouts that meet the needs of today’s buyers.

Saxon Vale represents a £13 million investment for Homes by Carlton and is the latest step in our ongoing expansion across the North East.

Ground was broken on the site in April, with Early-Bird Reservations expected to be made available later this year.

Simon Walker, Managing Director at Homes by Carlton, said: “Breaking ground on the site is a major milestone for this project. We’re proud to be investing further in County Durham and bringing exceptional new homes to Sadberge.

Every property at Saxon Vale will be built using the very best materials, with superior specification throughout.

We will also contribute £50,000 towards developing a children’s play area for local families to enjoy, meaning this development can benefit the wider community."

Potential homeowners are now able to register their interest in the development, and Simon added: “Homes across County Durham and the Darlington area are in high demand as the area has deservedly earned a reputation for being a fantastic place to live, and we have already had strong interest in Saxon Vale.”

"At Homes by Carlton, we offer luxury as standard and Saxon Vale will continue that tradition,” said Sales Manager, Lee Bradford.

"The location offers all the perks of village life, including beautiful countryside views, whilst being very commuter-friendly. Saxon Vale’s location is just a short drive to both Darlington Train Station and Teesside Airport, while its proximity to the region’s major roads means it is an easy drive to all of the North East’s key cities and destinations.

And for young families, the village also has a pre-school that most recently received a strong Ofsted report.”
