Woodcote Park: New Build Homes in Eddington, Herne Bay

Development Overview

Woodcote Park, developed by Redrow Homes, is a substantial new build development situated on the Thanet Way (CT6 7PG) in the Eddington area of Herne Bay, Kent. This site represents the latest phase of the former Herne Bay golf club's redevelopment, which is being transformed into a structured residential community. The development primarily offers a selection of three and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached new homes, drawn from Redrow’s nationally recognised Heritage Collection. The homes are inspired by the architectural detailing of the Arts & Crafts movement, offering traditional exteriors combined with contemporary, high-specification interiors. As of the current phase, new homes at the wider development start from approximately £415,000, with an example three-bedroom detached property recently listed for sale at around £430,000.

Property Details

The properties at Woodcote Park are characterised by thoughtful design focused on modern family living. The available house types include three- and four-bedroom layouts, such as the 'Amberley', 'Oxford', 'Harrogate', and 'Henley' designs. A typical three-bedroom home features three generously sized double bedrooms, with the main bedroom often benefiting from a substantial en-suite shower room.

Key structural and energy-efficiency features include high ceilings, wide door frames, and spacious halls to maximise the sense of space. Critically, a number of properties are specified as 'Eco Electric' homes, incorporating a fabric-first approach to construction and heated by an air source heat pump, often with underfloor heating installed as standard on the ground floor. Customisation options, such as the addition of bi-fold doors leading to the garden and home office packages, are available through the developer's customer platform, MyRedrow.

Location Benefits and Amenities

Woodcote Park provides immediate access to high-quality local amenities. Central to the community is the recently opened Herne Bay Sports Hub, a dedicated £5 million, 15-acre facility featuring a 3G football pitch, six floodlit tennis courts, and hockey pitches. For daily convenience, an on-site Co-op convenience store serves the immediate area. Educational facilities nearby include the 'Outstanding' rated Herne Bay C of E Infant and Junior Schools.
