Shipley Lakeside

Development Overview

Shipley Lakeside is a flagship new build homes development by Avant Homes, located on Pit Lane, Heanor, Derbyshire (DE75 7JL). Positioned approximately one mile from Heanor town centre, the development is part of the extensive Shipley Lakeside regeneration project, built on the former American Adventure Theme Park site. The Avant Homes phase comprises 70 design-led properties, forming part of a wider scheme that will eventually deliver 307 new homes within a mixed-use neighbourhood built around a 30-acre lake. Based on recent market data, the development offers a mix of three, four, and five-bedroom homes, with prices ranging from approximately £259,995 for a three-bedroom detached property up to £499,995 for a five-bedroom detached house. The overall project value for this phase is an estimated £23 million.

Property Details

New build homes at Shipley Lakeside feature Avant Homes’ signature specification, designed for contemporary family living. The properties include three, four, and five bedrooms, with multiple house types available, such as the three-bedroom 'Hivestone' and 'Hornstone,' and larger four-bedroom styles like the 'Trewbrook' (a four-bedroom show home featuring three bathrooms). All homes incorporate modern features as standard, including classic French doors, generously proportioned open-plan living spaces, designer kitchens equipped with integrated appliances, and boutique bathrooms with contemporary sanitaryware and designer tiling. The development offers detached and semi-detached options, all with off-street parking and, in many cases, views of the central lake or the surrounding landscape.

Location Benefits

Shipley Lakeside is situated on the edge of Shipley Country Park, offering residents immediate access to extensive green space, including a riding school and nature trails. The wider community plan incorporates an 'Eden-inspired' garden centre, local pubs, restaurants, a business park, and a state-of-the-art Health and Care centre. Local transport links are robust: Langley Mill railway station is accessible via a seven-minute drive, offering direct rail connections to Nottingham (approx. 19-minute journey time) and Sheffield (approx. 37-minute journey time), as well as services to Norwich and Leeds. Local bus services, including the Trent Barton ILKESTON FLYER and routes 33 and 34, operate from a stop at Pit Lane, Shipley, providing connections to Derby, Mansfield, and Ilkeston. The development is also within a 30-minute drive of East Midlands Airport (EAS) for domestic and international travel. Educationally, the area is served by The Coppice Primary School (4-minute drive) and the 'Outstanding' rated Heanor Gate Spencer Academy (11-18, 9-minute drive).

The development is well-advanced, with the first residents moving in from late 2022 and a four-bedroom show home, the 'Trewbrook,' available for viewing.
