Development: Beaconfield Rise

Beaconfield Rise

Two minutes’ drive from the A174 Marske Bypass and ten minutes walk from Marske village centre, Beaconfield Rise combines the appeal of a semirural location with exceptional convenience for travel throughout the North East. 

Redcar, Saltburn and Middlesbrough are within easy reach. From two stations, Marske and Longbeck, just a few yards away, trains to Saltburn, Middlesbrough and Darlington run approximately every half hour, reaching Redcar in 9 minutes, Middlesbrough in around 20 minutes and Darlington in 50 minutes. Local buses link Marske, Redcar, Guisborough and Middlesbrough, and the EuroVelo cycle national coastal circuit passes around a mile to the east,

The superb beach, one of the gems of the North East coast, extends to Redcar in one direction and Saltburn by the Sea in the other, and between them the three communities present a wide choice of activities. Saltburn’s golf club, Leisure centre with gym, swimming pool and celebrated miniature railway, are complemented by Redcar’s cinema and racecourse.

There is a garden centre a few yards from Beaconfield Rise, a petrol station and convenience store off Longbeck Road, five minutes walk away. The wide selection of village shops around the High Street includes a Co-op food store, Sainsbury Local, a delicatessen, a family butcher, bakers, a pharmacy, hardware shops, a post office, and hair and beauty salons. There is also a choice of cafés, pubs and food takeaways. The short trip into Redcar brings a choice of high street stores including fashion, sports and technology brands, as well as an open-air market held every Wednesday.

There are three primary schools within around ten minutes walk of Beaconfield Rise, and Marske’s secondary, Outwood Academy Bydales, is assessed as ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted. Further secondary schools in Redcar and Saltburn also serve the village. Two dental practices are located near the High Street, and Zetland Medical Practice, located in Windy Hill Lane on the eastern edge of Marske, is a full time surgery with full nursing support.

Marske’s volunteer-run Leisure Centre, hosts live concerts, fitness classes and community events. The village also has a local museum, a library and active football and cricket clubs, the latter hosting occasional live music events.
