Persimmon Homes - Saffron Gardens

Saffron Gardens offers a superb collection of three and four-bedroom new homes within the popular area of Hemlington to the south of Middlesbrough.

This well-established suburb benefits from a range of local amenities, including the nearby Parkway Shopping Centre and the lovely park area around Hemlington Lake where families can relax. For getting out of town, the A174 is just a short distance to the north of Saffron Gardens. It links to the A19 at the Parkway Interchange. From there you've got a direct route north to Sunderland or south right down to York, making this a really convenient base for a new home, especially if you need to travel for work. To travel to foreign shores, Durham Tees Valley Airport is only 30 minutes away by car.

Although you have all the local amenities on your doorstep, Saffron Gardens is also well-suited for families to enjoy the outdoors. The site is surrounded by 39 acres of open parkland, and you can be in the North York Moors National Park in less than half an hour. There you'll be able to enjoy all the open space you could want, with panoramic views back towards Middlesbrough.
