The site comprises 148 new build properties, a mix of three- and four-bedroom family houses, alongside apartments and affordable housing provision, all falling under the jurisdiction of Cheshire East Council.

Note on Availability: The open-market homes offered directly by Bellway Homes are currently listed as fully reserved, and the primary sales office is now closed. However, a specific allocation of 44 houses and apartments is dedicated to Shared Ownership and Affordable Rent schemes, managed by Southway Housing/Gecko Homes. Interested parties for the affordable units should direct enquiries to Gecko Homes for current availability and application details.

Property Details

The development comprises various house types, including the four-bedroom detached ‘The Philosopher’ and three-bedroom homes such as ‘The Thespian,’ in addition to two-bedroom apartments. The majority of the houses are three and four-bedroom layouts, designed with practical, modern living in mind. Standard features include private gardens, off-road car parking, and access to charging points for electric vehicles.

Internal specifications include open-plan kitchen/dining areas with French doors opening to the garden, a choice of fitted kitchen units, and integrated Zanussi appliances (oven, hob, hood, and fridge freezer). The homes feature contemporary bathrooms with over-bath showers and en-suites to selected primary bedrooms, alongside chrome fittings, double glazing, and an ultrafast fibre broadband connection point.

Location Benefits

Copperfields is positioned to benefit from Poynton’s strong commuter links and local village atmosphere. The area is characterised as a 'small town with a village feel' that offers a high street featuring independent shops, bars, and restaurants. Major shopping amenities, including Waitrose & Partners and Aldi, are located nearby.

For transport, Poynton train station is situated just over a mile away (approximately a 4-minute drive), offering direct Northern Rail services north to Manchester Piccadilly with an average journey time of 20 to 25 minutes, and south to Macclesfield. Road access is excellent; the development is close to the A555 relief road, facilitating direct transit to Manchester Airport and the M60/M56 motorway network. Manchester city centre is less than 15 miles away, a commute of roughly 30 minutes by car.

Families benefit from proximity to several highly regarded schools. St Paul's Catholic Primary School is approximately a five-minute walk, and Vernon Primary School is just a seven-minute walk away. Worth Primary School is located a little over half a mile from the development, and secondary education is served by Poynton High School.

Practical Information & Developer Note

Bellway Homes, the developer, has consistently achieved 5-star builder status in the national Home Builders Federation (HBF) awards. However, prospective buyers should note that customer feedback for large national developers can be mixed, with some residents citing issues with aftercare and snagging resolution time in specific developments.

Since the open-market new build homes are currently reserved, any re-releases or updates on pricing will be confirmed by Bellway Homes, and interested buyers are advised to monitor the official Bellway website.
