Homes in Cramlington
Cramlington grew from a small mining village into a large new town from the 1960s, largely through private housebuilders rather than a development corporation. The result is a town of planned neighbourhoods built from the 1960s to the 1990s, with semis, terraced townhouses and detached homes arranged around cul-de-sacs, footpaths and green spaces. Areas such as Beacon Hill, Parkside and Eastfield are typical of this pattern, while Nelson Village and East Hartford retain older colliery housing.
Building has continued into the 21st century with sizeable new-build estates on the northern and western edges. Most homes are brick with tiled roofs, and some 1960s and 1970s houses use timber framing or tile-hung panels. Cramlington sits on the Northumberland coalfield, so mining history is a standard consideration even on newer estates.
Areas we cover include Beacon Hill, Parkside, Northburn, Eastfield, Nelson Village, East Hartford.
