Ivel Gardens, Stotfold

Development Overview

Ivel Gardens is a nearly-completed new build development by Redrow Homes, located on Astwick Road in the civil parish of Stotfold, Bedfordshire (SG5 4AT). Positioned on the northern edge of the town and surrounded by open farmland, the development features new build homes from the builder’s award-winning Heritage Collection. This collection blends classic Arts and Crafts architectural styles with modern, high-specification interiors, targeting family buyers. The development primarily features three and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached new homes. Specific properties have been marketed within a price range, with examples including a 3-bedroom ‘Leamington Lifestyle’ from £579,950 and the substantial 4-bedroom ‘Richmond’ house type from £800,000 (Note: Contact Redrow Homes for current pricing and remaining availability as the site is nearing completion).

Property Details

Properties at Ivel Gardens consist of three and four-bedroom homes designed for practical family living. The four-bedroom detached ‘Richmond’ house type, for example, offers approximately 2030 sq ft of living space, featuring a capacious open-plan kitchen/family/dining area across the rear with patio doors to the garden. The ground floor also includes a separate spacious lounge and a utility room. Upstairs, the main bedroom is a key feature, benefiting from both an en-suite bathroom and a dedicated walk-in wardrobe. A second double bedroom also includes an en-suite, with the two remaining bedrooms being generously sized, a structure common to the Redrow Heritage Collection. The 'Leamington Lifestyle' is a 3-bedroom option where all three bedrooms also feature an en-suite. New build homes at this development offer high energy efficiency, with owners potentially saving up to £2,600 a year on energy bills compared to the average existing household.

Practical Information

This development is now nearing completion, with specific 'Readymade' properties available for immediate occupation. The final homes, such as the 4-bedroom Richmond, were scheduled for completion by the end of 2023. Redrow Homes is acknowledged as a Five-Star Homebuilder by the HBF, indicating a high level of customer satisfaction. However, prospective buyers are advised to conduct due diligence, as general reviews for volume builders can be mixed regarding post-completion customer service and snagging. Current availability, exact house styles, and specific pricing should be confirmed directly with the Redrow Homes sales team, as advertised prices for the final plots are subject to change.
