Redrow at Houlton

Development Overview

Redrow at Houlton is a new build development by Redrow Homes, situated in the burgeoning new community of Houlton, Clifton Upon Dunsmore, Rugby, Warwickshire (CV23 1DS). The development is now in its final phase of release, focusing on the company’s signature Heritage Collection—a range of Arts & Crafts-inspired homes.

Property Stock and Pricing: The available stock primarily consists of 3 and 4-bedroom detached homes, with pricing starting from £449,000. Specific house types include the four-bedroom detached ‘Shrewsbury’ from £459,000 and the ‘Marlow’ from £486,000. Larger, premium designs, such as the four-bedroom ‘Warkworth,’ have been listed up to £899,000. Interested purchasers are advised to contact the developer for the current list of available plots and precise pricing.

Developer Track Record: Redrow Homes, established in 1974, is one of the UK’s largest volume housebuilders and consistently holds the Home Builders’ Federation (HBF) Five Star Customer Satisfaction award. The company has a reputation for high-quality design, though prospective buyers should note the presence of mixed resident reviews regarding the post-completion snagging process, a common factor across large-scale new build developers. Redrow has also implemented the New Homes Quality Board’s new code of practice, offering increased transparency.

Property Details

All homes at Redrow at Houlton are designed to be energy-efficient and come equipped with ultra-fast broadband as standard. The final release phase features significant upgrades included in the purchase price, such as under-floor heating to the ground floor, an upgraded shaker style kitchen, a kitchen island with granite worktop, and an integrated dishwasher. Further practical features include wardrobes fitted to the main bedroom and turf laid to the rear garden, providing a higher-than-average standard specification for a new build property. House types, such as the ‘Cambridge,’ offer a vast open-plan kitchen/dining area alongside a separate, traditional lounge for flexible family living.

Location Benefits

The Houlton location offers excellent connectivity for commuters via both road and rail. The development is situated approximately three miles east of Rugby town centre.
