Development Overview

Neptune is a development of 3 and 4-bedroom new-build homes by Bellway Homes, located in the semi-rural village of Croft, Cheshire, at Deacons Close, WA3 7EN. The development offers energy-efficient properties within the administration of Warrington Borough Council. Current pricing for the new build homes at Neptune ranges from £354,995 for a 3-bedroom semi-detached property up to £599,995 for a 4-bedroom detached house. The properties are sold on a Freehold basis, with an estimated annual service charge of approximately £193.96 to £222.53 for the upkeep of the development’s extensive public open spaces. Bellway Homes, a large-scale developer awarded the 'Large housebuilder of the year' in The Housebuilder Awards 2023 and a 5-Star HBF Builder for the ninth consecutive year, provides a standard 10-year NHBC Buildmark policy with all homes.

Property Details

The development features a mix of house types suitable for first-time buyers, families, and those downsizing. Available properties include the three-bedroom mews-style 'The Dean' and various semi-detached designs, alongside four-bedroom detached houses like 'The Medway' and 'The Derwent'. Specification highlights across the range typically include contemporary fitted kitchens with appliance provisions, en-suite facilities to the primary bedroom, and private rear gardens. All new build homes are designed to be highly energy-efficient, offering the potential to save homeowners up to 50% on utility bills compared to an older, non-upgraded property.
