About Hartford Grange
Development Overview
Hartford Grange is a premium, award-winning development of new build homes by Redrow, located on Walnut Lane in the established and aspirational village of Hartford, Cheshire (CW8 1QN). The development, which largely reached completion with the last reservation taken in August 2021, has established itself as a quality residential community. It comprises a selection of 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom properties, primarily detached family houses from Redrow's distinguished Arts & Crafts-inspired Heritage Collection, alongside a limited number of two-bedroom shared ownership apartments. The project was notably awarded the prestigious Five Star accolade for the Best Residential Development in Cheshire at the UK Property Awards.

Practical Information
Developed by Redrow, a builder consistently awarded a five-star customer satisfaction rating in the HBF survey for over a decade, Hartford Grange is a testament to quality construction and design. As the original development phase is complete, current availability is expected to be limited to resales or potential final reserved plots/shared ownership opportunities.
