Kingsbourne

Development Overview

Kingsbourne is a completed new build development by Taylor Wimpey, a developer with a notable track record that includes a Bronze award for Best Sustainable Development in the 2024 WhatHouse? Awards. Located in the Cheshire market town of Nantwich, the development is situated at Waterlode, Reaseheath, CW5 5BS, nestled alongside the River Weaver. The site comprises 379 new homes, offering a diverse range of 2-bedroom to 5-bedroom properties, including apartments (leasehold) and houses (freehold). As a nearly-complete community, the development features a cohesive aesthetic with a mix of red brick and white render finishes.

Property Details

Kingsbourne was designed to offer flexible living spaces across two, 2.5, and three storeys. The development featured a variety of named house styles. For example, the 3-bedroom detached ‘Amberley’ model included features such as an open-plan kitchen/dining area with sliding patio doors, a separate lounge, a main bedroom with a large en-suite shower room, a dedicated laundry room, and a 10-year warranty. Other house types available throughout the development included the 3-bedroom ‘Alton G’ townhouse and the 4-bedroom ‘Evesham’ design. All homes benefit from access to Ultrafast broadband connectivity.

Location Benefits

The Kingsbourne location provides direct access to local amenities and key transport links. Nantwich train station is situated approximately 0.3 miles away, enabling residents to access rail services easily. Commuter links are strong via the local station, with average train journey times to Crewe taking approximately 8 to 9 minutes. Crewe acts as a major interchange, offering connections to larger commercial centres including Manchester, Liverpool, and London. Road transport is facilitated by excellent links to the M6 and M56 motorways.

The historic Nantwich town centre, characterised by Grade I and II listed buildings, is a 10-minute walk from the development, offering a market place, independent boutiques, cafes, pubs, and restaurants. On-site provisions include a dedicated children’s play area, a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA), and extensive green open space. The site also benefits from a new network of pathways, including a new footbridge over the River Weaver, enhancing local pedestrian and cycle connectivity. For families, a new on-site primary school, Kingsbourne Academy, is scheduled to open for Reception-age children in September 2026.
