Garendon Park

Garendon Park, a significant new build development by Persimmon Homes, is situated off William Railton Road in Loughborough, Leicestershire (LE11 5SA), on the northern edge of Charnwood Forest. This new community offers a substantial mix of energy-efficient two, three, four, and five-bedroom homes, including detached, semi-detached, and terraced house types, with over 75% of Phase 1 already sold.

Development Overview

Persimmon Homes’ Garendon Park is a major regeneration project that includes the restoration of Grade II registered parkland, providing new public walking and cycling routes where access was previously restricted. As part of the site’s masterplan, significant community infrastructure is being delivered, including a new primary school (with provision for a second), a sports hall, a dedicated community hub, and local shops. Current available new build homes at Garendon Park, as of the time of writing, range from approximately £229,995 for a two-bedroom terraced house up to £449,995 for larger family properties. Specific models include two-bedroom options from £229,995 and three-bedroom properties from £269,995.

Property Details

The development comprises various house designs across the two- to five-bedroom range, catering to first-time buyers and larger families. While exact specifications depend on the chosen plot and house type, all properties are new build and designed to be energy-efficient. Prospective buyers should confirm the specific fixtures, such as kitchen appliances, lighting, and heating systems, with the on-site sales team, as standard specifications vary and optional upgrades are often available. Persimmon Homes also offers several buying schemes on selected plots, including Deposit Unlock, Part Exchange, Home Change, and the Own New Rate Reducer scheme.

Location and Transport

Garendon Park is well-connected for commuters. Loughborough train station is approximately 5.6km (3 miles) away, offering quick rail links to key regional cities: Leicester, Nottingham, and Derby are all reachable in under 30 minutes, with direct services to London St Pancras taking approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. By road, the development is positioned close to the M1 and A6, allowing drive times to major hubs like Nottingham, Leicester, and Derby in under an hour. East Midlands Airport is also highly accessible, situated just a 12-minute drive away. The site will benefit from a new bespoke bus service connecting Garendon Park to Loughborough town centre via Loughborough University and the Science and Enterprise Park. Local bus routes serving the area include the 1, 2, 2X, 127, and SKYLINK DERBY services.
