Key specifications across the range include integrated appliances as standard and the provision of private driveways and/or single garages to selected homes. Floor plans typically feature open-plan kitchen, dining, and family areas with French doors opening onto the rear garden, alongside main bedrooms benefiting from en-suite shower rooms.

Practical Information

Ashberry Homes is a volume housebuilder known for delivering properties to a range of purchasers. The developer has a mixed reputation, receiving both positive customer testimonials and reports of aftercare issues common to high-volume builders, though some site managers have received industry recognition via 'Pride in the Job awards.' Current property availability and the full price list for 2, 3, and 4-bedroom new build homes are to be confirmed, as many plots are reserved. Interested parties should book an appointment to visit the sales office on Stamfordham Road for the most up-to-date availability, pricing, viewing arrangements, and to discuss buying schemes such as Assisted Move or Own New Rate Reducer.
