The Courtyard, Woodford Garden Village

Development Overview

The Courtyard is a specific phase within the larger Woodford Garden Village development, situated on Chester Road, Woodford, Cheshire (SK7 1AZ). Developed by Redrow Homes, a high-volume housebuilder generally recognised for constructing higher-quality homes among its competitors, the overall village is an extensive new community established on the site of the former Woodford Aerodrome. The Courtyard primarily features a collection of high-specification, newly built apartments. The wider Woodford Garden Village offers three, four, and five-bedroom detached new build homes in adjacent phases, such as Shackleton Fields.

Property Details

The Courtyard offers a range of high-quality, two-bedroom apartments, designed in Redrow's popular 'Heritage Collection' style. Each apartment within The Courtyard includes a dedicated single garage. The properties feature a high internal specification, including integrated, energy-saving appliances from premium brands such as Siemens, Smeg, and AEG in the kitchens. Bedrooms offer the option for hand-crafted fitted wardrobes from Hammonds and Gooding Group. Buyers should be aware that while Redrow has a strong design reputation, customer feedback across various developments has been mixed, with some buyers citing concerns regarding snagging and aftercare service.

Location Benefits and Local Infrastructure

Woodford Garden Village is designed as a self-sufficient community, with plans for a range of bespoke, dedicated on-site facilities including shops, social facilities, and a dedicated health centre. The development features acres of open space, linear parks, and a traditional village green. Specific existing amenities include the modern pub The Aviator, located in the heart of the village, and the nearby historic country pub, The Davenport Arms.

Education: Woodford Primary School, which opened in September 2022, is located on-site and received an 'Outstanding' rating in all five areas in its first Ofsted inspection in May 2025.

Transport Links: The development is highly accessible, situated close to the towns of Wilmslow, Poynton, and Bramhall. For commuters to Manchester, the nearest train station, Poynton, offers a direct Northern Trains service to Manchester Piccadilly, with a journey time of approximately 20 minutes. Bus routes 42B, 391, and 877 serve the area, with the Woodford Road stop being a five-minute walk from the development. The 42B bus also provides a direct, though slower, service between Woodford and Manchester.

Practical Information

The Courtyard apartments are two-bedroom units, and the specific current price list is to be confirmed by the developer. By comparison, prices for the larger detached new build homes in the wider Woodford Garden Village (e.g., Shackleton Fields) range from approximately £886,000 for a four-bedroom property up to £1,522,000 for a five-bedroom property. Interested parties should contact the Redrow Homes Sales Centre at The Courtyard for the current status of remaining plots, apartment-specific pricing, and viewing arrangements.
