Sheasby Park

Sheasby Park: A Detailed Property and Area Overview

Development Overview Sheasby Park is a substantial new build development by Bellway Homes, located on Doubleday Way in Fradley, Lichfield, Staffordshire (WS13 8FR). The wider scheme, built on the former RAF Lichfield site, will ultimately comprise up to 750 new homes, with Bellway contributing 624 properties, including 538 for private sale and 86 affordable homes available for local people. Construction commenced in 2016, with phase three released in late 2022. The development is situated approximately four miles from the historic city of Lichfield and less than 10 miles south of Burton-upon-Trent.

Property Details This collection offers a mix of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom new build homes, with one-bedroom apartments and 5-bedroom houses available in certain phases. All available properties feature either a garage or allocated parking. Specific house types currently or previously available include the three-bedroom ‘The Turner’ (end of terrace, 906 sq. ft. internal area) and ‘The Webster’ (three-storey design with two ensuites), and the four-bedroom ‘The Scrivener’ (featuring an open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area with adjoining utility room). Tenure for properties such as ‘The Turner’ is Freehold, though buyers must confirm tenure details for their specific plot.

Location and Transport Fradley benefits from excellent road connections, offering practical commuting access. The development is close to both the A38 and the A51, facilitating quick travel to major hubs. Driving time to central Birmingham is advertised at around 30 minutes. The nearest railway station is Lichfield Trent Valley (2.2 miles away), which provides direct services to Birmingham and London Euston, making the location a viable option for London commuters. The secondary station, Lichfield City, is approximately 3.0 miles away. Local public transport is primarily via bus routes, which residents note can be infrequent, with limited or no Sunday service.

Local Amenities and Education Sheasby Park is near the Fradley village centre, which hosts small shops, convenience stores, a traditional pub, and a restaurant. Fradley Park Primary School opened on the wider development site in September 2022, providing on-site primary education, alongside St Stephen's Primary School, which is a short distance away. Broader retail and entertainment options are available four miles away in Lichfield, including the Three Spires Shopping Centre and the Garrick Theatre. For leisure, Fradley Junction offers boating, walking, and cycling where the Coventry and Trent & Mersey canals converge, with the adjacent Fradley Pool Nature Reserve providing further public open space. Residents should note that the immediate village of Fradley does not currently have a GP surgery.

Practical Information Pricing for the new build homes currently starts from approximately £239,995, with 3-bedroom houses ranging from approximately £309,500 to £359,995 and 4-bedroom houses available up to approximately £530,000. Potential buyers should budget for a mandatory Estate Management Charge, which has been recorded at £150.00 per annum for specific plots. While Bellway's site management has been recognised with the NHBC Pride in the Job award, prospective owners should be aware that resident reviews have cited issues with after-care service, communication, and the completion of public green spaces. Interested parties are advised to contact the Bellway sales team directly for current availability, the full price list, and to confirm specific tenure and charges for any plot they are considering.
