The development is nearing completion, with the final phase of three and four-bedroom detached houses from Redrow’s acclaimed Heritage Collection now available. As a large-scale project encompassing 200 homes, Foxbridge Manor is proving popular with families, first-time buyers, and downsizers, with almost 90% of properties already sold. Current availability focuses on the remaining plots, with homes starting from £352,000.
Property Details
The remaining new build homes consist of 3 and 4-bedroom detached house styles, reflecting the development’s Arts-and-Crafts inspired architecture. Specific available house types include the three-bedroom Amberley, a detached home available from £352,000, and the four-bedroom Cambridge, available from approximately £410,000 (prices subject to change; contact the developer for current availability and exact plot pricing). The Cambridge house type provides a private driveway, single garage, an open-plan kitchen/dining/family area, a separate lounge, a utility room, a cloakroom, and an en-suite to the main bedroom.
A key feature of a selected range of the newly released homes is the "Eco Electric" specification. These properties are designed for improved energy efficiency, incorporating air source heat pumps as standard and ground-floor underfloor heating to specific house types. All properties benefit from high-speed, ultrafast broadband connectivity.

Practical Information
The development is in its final sales phase, with approximately 7-23 homes remaining (as of recent updates). Prospective buyers should contact the Redrow Homes Midlands Sales Team for the most current pricing, plot availability, and specific property features, including whether a plot is an 'Eco Electric' home. Financial incentives, such as Stamp Duty or deposit contributions, may be available on selected plots.
