About Durose Country Park

Development Overview

Durose Country Park is a new build homes development by Redrow Homes, situated off Mansfield Road in Breadsall Hilltop, Derby, Derbyshire, DE21 4FT. The site is a substantial project of 230 homes, positioned near the border of the Breadsall Hilltop and Oakwood areas. The development features a curated collection of two, three, and four-bedroom homes, primarily drawn from Redrow's acclaimed Heritage Collection. This collection is characterised by a distinctive Arts and Crafts architectural style, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary, energy-efficient interior design.

Redrow Homes maintains a strong industry reputation, having consistently achieved the Home Builders Federation (HBF) 5-Star Customer Satisfaction rating. While the development is well-regarded for its quiet location and design (rated 4.03 out of 5.00 by residents), prospective buyers should note that customer feedback has sometimes cited a need for follow-up on property management issues and that features like turf and integrated kitchen appliances may require specification upgrades. The overall build quality is generally considered high.

Property Details

The development floorplans include a selection of two, three, and four-bedroom layouts, featuring specific house types such as the two-bedroom 'Ledbury,' the three-bedroom 'Amberley,' and the four-bedroom 'Shaftesbury' and 'Sunningdale' styles. These new build homes are designed with modern family living in mind, offering bright, open-plan kitchen/dining areas alongside separate, quieter spaces like lounges and studies. For example, the four-bedroom 'Sunningdale' style is noted for its generous proportions, two en-suite bathrooms, a downstairs utility room, and an attached garage. All properties benefit from being new-build construction, which includes high modern standards of insulation and energy efficiency.

Location Benefits

Durose Country Park offers immediate local amenities while maintaining excellent connectivity to Derby city centre. The location provides direct access to the A61 and A608 for onward travel.

Transport Links: Derby city centre is approximately 2.2 miles away, accessible by a swift 5-minute taxi ride or a regular bus service. The Arriva 22/24 bus route serves the immediate Breadsall Hilltop area, including stops such as Pickering Rise, providing a direct link to Derby Bus Station. Derby Train Station is a short distance from the city centre for mainline rail services, offering connectivity to major UK hubs.

Local Amenities: Nearby social and leisure facilities include The Windmill Inn on Breadsall Hilltop and Damsons Coffee House in Breadsall village. For leisure, the Breadsall Priory Marriott Hotel & Country Club is close by, offering a spa and golf course. Residents also benefit from access to the Great Northern Greenway, a dedicated recreational path for cycling and walking. A large, planned park is slated for completion in the later phases of the development. For families, Breadsall Hill Primary School (part of the Transform Trust) is situated in the locality, alongside Breadsall C of E Vc Primary School. Daily shopping may require a short trip, as the closest local convenience shop is noted as a 30-minute walk.

Practical Information

Phase one of the Durose Country Park development is sold out, and homes are available in subsequent releases.
