Welcome to Chapel House
Willow Glade is set in the delightful neighbourhood of Chapel House just five miles west of Newcastle city centre. A welcoming setting, you can look forward to joining an established community that offers a wealth of handy amenities and local shops. Known for being a relatively quiet spot with parks, green spaces and good public transport, you’ll find everything you could wish for right on the doorstep. This includes a Tesco Express, Sainsbury’s Local and Morrisons all within walking distance.
Shop. Eat. Repeat.
One of the many great things about living at Willow Glade is having Newcastle city centre close by. A vibrant, and at the same time, historic destination, it’s the place to go for a relaxing day out enjoying some retail therapy. All the big names can be found at Eldon Square, or, if you’re in the mood for a luxury shopping experience in a stunning setting, head over to Central Arcade with its glass barrel-vaulted roof. Every bit as impressive, but without the high price tags is Grainger Market in the historic heart of the city where you’ll find everything from fresh food to quirky specialist shops. And let’s not forget the almost seemingly endless choice of places to eat and drink. From street food to fine dining and traditional taprooms to chic cocktail bars, you need never visit the same place twice.
Sports and leisure that’s right for you
hatever your interests, they’re catered for in the area. If you just want to stretch your legs, Barbondale Park is half a mile away, with a playground for kids and large open field that’s ideal for dog walking. If you prefer something a bit more strenuous, try West Denton Leisure Centre down the road. Here, you’ll find a gym, sports hall and outdoor pitches, offering a wide choice of fitness classes to join. Then, there’s West Denton Indoor Bowls Club where you can play competitively as well as socially. Just over a mile away is Westerhope Golf Club. Ideal for golfers of all skill levels, this fabulous parkland course is a must play. While Newcastle United fans will be delighted to know that St. James’ Park is under 5 miles away, making every home game close to home.
Art, culture & entertainment galore
There’s so much to see and do in Newcastle and Gateshead, there are venues and events for everyone. Ouseburn is the area’s cultural quarter, renowned for being one of the most vibrant creative communities in the North East. Art lovers won’t want to miss the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art on Gateshead Quayside or Laing Art Gallery in the city centre for more traditional works of art. History buffs will want to visit the many different museums that include the Discovery Museum, Great Northern Museum and Life Science Centre.
If you’re more of a theatre-goer, Theatre Royal offers everything from West End musicals to thought-provoking drama. Then there’s Tyne Theatre and Opera House which is the place to go for music and live entertainment for all. Last and by no means least, there’s the Utilita Arena which is one of the largest concert and exhibition venues in the North East, hosting such iconic names as Eric Clapton, Michael Bublé and Peter Kay. Plus, of course, there are Newcastle and Gateshead’s yearly festivals and events to experience.
Out of this world days out
If you like your days out, get ready for a packed calendar as there is so much to see and do in the region. Whitley Bay and Tynemouth are both within a half hour drive for a traditional seaside trip. Alternatively, head inland and before you know it, you’ll be at Northumberland National Park, the perfect destination for walking, cycling, horse riding, fishing and so much more. If you prefer taking in historic settings try Alnwick Castle which Harry Potter fans are sure to recognise from the first two movies. Also nearby is Alnwick Garden, which is one of the world’s most ambitious new gardens. And if you’d like to see history come to life, then go to Beamish Museum: The Living Museum of the North, just 20 minutes away by car, you can experience Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian times for real.
Hassle-free travelling
No matter what the destination, Chapel House couldn’t be better placed for a simple, straightforward journey. Easy access to the A1 and A69 means that Durham is half an hour away, while you can be in Sunderland in 40 minutes and Hartlepool in 50 minutes.
Train travel is just as convenient. There are two local train stations, which are Blaydon and Metrocentre, as well as nearby Tyne and Wear Metro Stations. Together, they make travelling locally or across the country a breeze.
Newcastle International Airport is only 10 minutes away. You can literally walk out of your door and be jetting off before you know it. Though no matter where you’re heading, you’ll soon be looking forward to returning home to Willow Glade.
