Caddington Woods

Development Overview

Caddington Woods is an executive new build homes development by Redrow Homes (South Midlands), located in the semi-rural hamlet of Chaul End, Caddington, Bedfordshire, LU1 4AX. The site, formerly a vehicle testing and storage facility, was transformed by Redrow, an award-winning housebuilder, and has been recognised for its environmental commitment, achieving the Habitat Creation Project of the Year award for its predicted 63% Biodiversity Net Gain. The development is situated approximately three miles from the main services of Luton and Dunstable. The collection of properties comprises three, four, and five-bedroom detached and semi-detached houses from the developer’s popular Heritage Collection. As of late 2021, the development was in its final phase with very limited availability; prospective buyers should contact the developer directly to check current stock and pricing.

Property Details

Properties at Caddington Woods are designed with a traditional 1930s architectural charm and high-specification contemporary interiors. House types that have been available include the 3-bedroom Amberley, and detached 4-bedroom homes such as the Harrogate and the three-story Lincoln. Example historical pricing from the final phase included the 4-bedroom detached Harrogate, priced at approximately £589,950, and the 5-bedroom Marlborough from £704,950. Internal features typically include spacious, open-plan kitchen/dining areas with integrated appliances, separate lounges, and a master bedroom complete with an en-suite shower room. The five-bedroom Marlborough model further offered bi-fold doors leading to the garden. All properties are equipped with ultrafast broadband connectivity and are designed for high energy efficiency. Shared Ownership options for 2- and 3-bedroom homes were also offered through a partnership with a housing provider, with prices starting from £130,000 for a 40% share of a two-bedroom property.

Location Benefits

The development’s Chaul End location balances a tranquil setting with significant commuter links. Caddington Woods is 36 miles north of Central London and benefits from excellent road access to the M1 motorway via nearby Junction 11, as well as the A5. For rail commuters, direct trains to London are available from nearby Luton stations (approx. 3.9 miles away), with journey times to Central London often achievable in 30-40 minutes. The surrounding area is characterised by open countryside, including a local golf course. On-site amenities include the newly built Lyons Community Centre, which hosts local activities and helps establish a community feel. Local dining options include The Spice Restaurant in Caddington and the Frog and Rhubarb pub in Woodside. While a host of well-regarded schools are noted in the vicinity, specific current catchment information should be confirmed by the buyer.

Practical Information

The development is largely complete, with a limited number of new build homes remaining. Specific, up-to-date pricing and plot availability must be obtained by contacting the Redrow Homes sales team directly. For buyers interested in properties in this established, high-specification development, viewing arrangements should be scheduled promptly with the developer to secure one of the final new homes.
