Property Details

The new build homes at Queensgate are designed with modern energy efficiency and sustainability as a priority. All properties are equipped with electricity-generating PV panels (solar panels), wastewater heat recovery systems, and all homes come fitted with electric vehicle (EV) charging points, appealing directly to environmentally-conscious buyers and commuters. A typical four-bedroom house design, for example, includes an open-plan kitchen/dining room featuring French doors leading to the rear garden, a separate utility area, a downstairs WC, and an integral garage. The master bedroom in this house type is specified to include an en suite and a separate dressing area. Purchasers benefit from a 10-year insurance-backed new homes warranty, alongside a 2-year Persimmon warranty.

Location Benefits and Transport Links

Queensgate is situated for excellent road and rail connectivity, making it an advantageous location for North Wales and North West England commuters. The development lies just off the Welsh Road, parallel to the A494, which connects directly to the M56 motorway. The A55 North Wales Expressway is also nearby. Rail travel is convenient, with Hawarden Bridge Station (0.8 miles) and Shotton Station (1 mile) both within walking distance. Direct drive times include Chester city centre in approximately 20 minutes (8 miles), and Liverpool in around 40 minutes (18 miles). Direct rail services from Shotton to London Euston can take approximately 2.5 hours. Local public transport is supported by a bus stop located near the development entrance.

Local amenities and services are well-established. Queensgate is a short distance from Deeside's town centre, which offers a range of supermarkets, retail parks, and shopping outlets. Local education is served by nearby schools, including Sealand CP School and Sandycroft CP School for primary education, and Connah's Quay High School (approx. 3 miles) for secondary education. A significant contribution is being made by the wider development to fund improvements at Sealand Primary School and Hawarden High School. For leisure, the development is positioned close to the banks of the River Dee and the Wales Coast Path. Wepre Park and Hawarden Castle and Farm Shop are both approximately a 12-minute drive away.
