Poets Grange

Development Overview

Poets Grange is a completed development of new build homes by Redrow Homes, situated on Station Road in the village of Long Marston, approximately five miles south-west of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire (CV37 8FT). The development is part of the larger Meon Vale regeneration scheme, designed to create a vibrant, semi-rural community nestled within the Stratford’s Greenway countryside. The scheme delivered a collection of 1 and 2-bedroom apartments alongside 2, 3, and 4-bedroom terraced, semi-detached, and detached houses from Redrow's acclaimed Heritage Collection.

Property Details

The 100-home development, which is now largely sold out, featured a range of house types, including the 2-bedroom 'Buxton', the 3-bedroom 'Amberley', and the 4-bedroom 'Cambridge' designs. A prominent offering was the 'Oxford Lifestyle' house, a 3-bedroom detached home known for its emphasis on spacious, high-specification bedrooms, each typically featuring an en-suite bathroom. Homes are constructed to a high energy efficiency standard, incorporating advanced insulation and efficient heating systems to potentially save homeowners over £970 annually compared to older properties. Design is consistently inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, featuring traditional elements such as brick plinths, overhanging eaves, and portico entrances, combined with modern, open-plan kitchen and living areas.

Location Benefits and Amenities

Poets Grange offers practical living with direct access to local amenities and excellent connectivity. Long Marston benefits from the Stagecoach Midlands Line 27 bus service, which provides direct links to Stratford-upon-Avon (approx. 21-22 minutes journey time, operating Monday to Saturday).
