Princes Chase

The Princes Chase new build development is a completed site, and all homes have been sold by the developer, Berkeley Homes. The information provided below is for potential buyers interested in securing a property on the secondary market within this established development.

Development Overview

Princes Chase is a completed new build development located on Woodlands Road in Leatherhead, Surrey, KT22 0BN. It was constructed by the multi-award-winning developer, Berkeley Homes. The site is situated within a mature woodland setting, nestled between the sought-after affluent villages of Oxshott and Stoke D'Abernon, and close to Leatherhead and Cobham. The development comprises a mix of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments, alongside a variety of 2, 3, 4, and 5 bedroom houses. While the original new build prices ranged from approximately £285,000, current resale prices are subject to market conditions and availability.

Property Details

The properties at Princes Chase were individually designed, focusing on superior design and efficient use of space. The house types included detached family homes, such as the four-bedroom 'Hawkshill' house design (1,814 sq ft).

Typical internal specifications within the houses feature contemporary kitchens comprehensively fitted with branded appliances, such as AEG, and Silestone work surfaces. Ground floors benefit from underfloor heating (UFH), while upper floors utilise radiators with thermostatic controls. Master bedrooms typically include full-height fitted wardrobes with sliding doors and a dedicated dressing area in larger plots, along with a luxury en-suite bathroom, sometimes featuring both a walk-in shower and a separate bath. The homes include a private driveway with parking for two vehicles. Buyers should note the development is built on a hill, which has resulted in garden space and design varying across the site, and some properties being overlooked.

Location Benefits

Princes Chase is strategically positioned for both city commuters and those seeking country living. Road access is excellent, with the development backing onto the M25 motorway, providing rapid connections across the South East, though buyers should be aware of potential noise from the motorway. The nearby Leatherhead train station offers mainline services, with journey times to London Waterloo estimated to take between 44 and 50 minutes. Local bus services are available, including the Falcon Buses Route 479, which connects Leatherhead Railway Station with Guildford and Epsom.

While residents have access to Leatherhead town centre and its amenities approximately five minutes away by car, there are no pubs or shops within immediate walking distance of the development itself. The development compensates with its extensive immediate natural surroundings, featuring nature trails leading through the adjacent ancient woodland setting and a maintained children's play area. The area is also well-known for its excellent range of schools.

Practical Information

Princes Chase is a fully completed development, and all new build homes were sold by Berkeley Homes. Any current availability is through the secondary (resale) market. Original owners benefited from a 10-year NHBC Warranty and a 2-year Berkeley Warranty from the completion date. Potential resale buyers should confirm the remaining term of these warranties. The development is managed, and while the development looks visually impressive, some residents have noted issues with communication regarding communal space management. Current pricing and viewing arrangements for resale properties must be confirmed via a local estate agent specialising in the Leatherhead and Oxshott area.
