Megan Mollon, 26 and her partner Michael Hall, 25, have moved to pastures new - buying a house on land where she has grazed her horses!

The couple have photos and memories of Bella stood in the same spot where the garden now sits, at Amethyst Homes’ The Pastures development in East Sleekburn.

Megan, who works in childcare, said: “I know East Sleekburn well, so we were thrilled when we heard that houses were being built in the area. By this time Bella, who sadly passed away at age 33 was settled in her new paddock – which is conveniently close and is where my horse Otter now lives.

“Bella loved and Otter loves his new home – almost as much as we love ours! The location is perfect, with both our workplaces – in Morpeth and Newcastle, nearby – and we are walking distance from the beach, which is ideal for a jaunt out with our Golden Retriever, Holly. Despite being so close to everything we need, it remains a quiet, peaceful, and beautiful place to live.

“We have been impressed with the layout, space, and quality of finish within our home. The extra storage space, which is often missing in other new builds, is a fantastic feature.”

The Pastures offers a range of two, three and four bedroomed homes starting from £174,950. Due to its popularity, the sales centre and show home are now open seven days a week.

Richard Bass, Managing Director at Amethyst Homes added: “Everybody needs good ‘Neigh’ bours!’ It is incredible to think that Megan and Michael have ended up living in a new home, which stands on the land where the late Bella spent many happy years grazing!

“The Pastures already has a real sense of community, with many of the new residents regularly popping into the sales centre to catch up with our team. We wish Megan, Michael, and Holly many happy years in their new home.”

Megan added: “The purchasing process was a ‘canter!’ Anne from the sales office kept us well informed, and the communication was excellent. We have already recommended Amethyst Homes to friends, some of whom are moving in just around the corner from us!”

Nestled in the village of East Sleekburn, the development is ideally located on the north side of the estuary of the River Blyth between Blyth and Ashington. Located close to the A189 this makes it a short commute to Cramlington, Blyth and Ashington and all the shopping and leisure amenities that these places offer.

Newcastle city centre is less than 15 miles away and with the new Northumberland trainline in operation, this is making commuting even easier.
