Hamilton Copse

Development Overview

Hamilton Copse is a new build development by national homebuilder Taylor Wimpey, positioned on Dowling Road in the traditional market town of Uttoxeter, Staffordshire (ST14 8WB). The site is situated on the edge of the town, offering a blend of immediate access to the rolling Staffordshire countryside and market town amenities. The development comprises a collection of energy-efficient, two, three, and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached new build homes, designed specifically for family life. As the development approaches completion, availability is extremely limited, with a focus on the final four-bedroom properties. The last remaining home, 'The Shilford,' a four-bedroom detached house with tandem parking, a detached garage, and views over green open space, is currently priced at £380,000.

Taylor Wimpey, one of the UK’s largest residential developers, has achieved a 5-star customer satisfaction rating from the Home Builders Federation, indicating that over 90% of customers would recommend the company. However, prospective buyers should note that independent reviews have indicated mixed experiences, rating the company at a 4-star level, with some feedback citing variable build quality and post-completion aftercare across their national portfolio.

Property Details

Specific house types within the development, such as the three-bedroom detached 'The Keeford' and the four-bedroom 'The Shilford', feature an upgraded standard specification. These concrete features include open-plan kitchen/dining rooms with integrated kitchen appliances as standard, French doors leading to the rear garden, and turf provided to the rear garden. Detached homes often benefit from driveway parking and an integrated or detached garage. All properties at Hamilton Copse come with a 10-year NHBC warranty for long-term assurance. Tenure is Freehold, with an estimated annual estate management fee of approximately £132.00 (confirm with the Sales Executive for plot-specific fees).

Location Benefits

The development's location is a key practical benefit for commuters and families. Uttoxeter Train Station is situated approximately 0.9 miles from the Dowling Road site, offering rail links across the Midlands. Journey times to Derby are fast, with the quickest services taking approximately 21 minutes. Commutes to London St Pancras International typically average 2 hours 34 minutes but require a change. Road access is excellent via the nearby A50, which provides direct connectivity to major centres including Derby and Stoke-on-Trent, as well as the M1 motorway network.

Local amenities within the market town include a range of local supermarkets, independent shops, cafes, and restaurants. Recreational facilities are prominent, with the renowned Uttoxeter Racecourse just a few minutes away and green space available at Bramshall Road Park. The area is well-served by local education establishments, including Windsor Park CE Middle School, Oldfields Hall Middle School, and Thomas Alleyne's High School for secondary education.
