Donnington Heights

Development Overview

Donnington Heights is a premium new build homes development by David Wilson Homes, situated on Bastion Street, Newbury, West Berkshire (RG14 3AF). The scheme is nearing completion, with over 90% of the planned 220 homes now sold. The development features a selection of high-specification 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom houses set within a spacious environment that includes over 7 acres of dedicated public open space.

Prices for the remaining new build homes currently range from a 3-bedroom ‘Hadley’ house type at approximately £515,000, up to a 5-bedroom detached show home, the ‘Manning,’ available for £925,000. Available properties include the 4-bedroom 'Hollinwood' from around £600,000 and the 5-bedroom 'Henley' from £865,000. David Wilson Homes maintains a high industry standard, having been awarded a 5-Star rating by the Home Builders Federation (HBF) for over a decade, with over 95% of customers stating they would recommend the developer.

Property Details

The remaining properties at Donnington Heights offer a choice of house styles, including detached, semi-detached, and end-of-terrace homes. The specifications prioritise energy efficiency, with all properties featuring highly thermally efficient insulation and argon-filled double glazing. A new build home here is certified to be significantly more efficient to run than an updated Victorian equivalent. All homes are equipped with electric car charging points as standard.

Specific house types available include the 3-bedroom 'Hadley' (approximately 986 sq ft), and larger 5-bedroom designs such as the ‘Henley’ (approximately 1960 sq ft). Available incentives on selected plots, such as the 4-bedroom ‘Winstone’ house type, have recently included Stamp Duty contributions (up to £30,000), John Lewis vouchers, and upgraded kitchens. All purchases are protected by a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty, which includes a 2-year builder warranty period.

Location Benefits

Donnington Heights offers convenient transport links for commuters. Newbury Train Station is less than a 10-minute drive from the development, providing mainline services including direct access to London Paddington. Road links are excellent, with the A339 connecting directly to the A34 and M4 motorway (Junction 13) just a 5-minute drive away. A new bus route is also operational, connecting Newbury to Didcot.

Local amenities are accessible, with Newbury town centre approximately a 20-minute walk away, offering high-street retailers such as M&S, Next, Waterstones, and boutique shops. The development site itself is planned to include a convenience store, community allotments, and two dedicated play areas. Vodafone HQ is located nearby, within a 5-minute walk. Educational provision is strong, with the Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ Trinity Secondary School under a 10-minute walk away. Nearby primary options include Robert Sandilands Primary School. The development is also planned to feature an on-site primary school to be confirmed in a future phase.

Practical Information

With the development over 90% sold, available plots are limited. Ready-to-move-into homes are available for immediate reservation. Prospective homebuyers can arrange an appointment to view the 5-bedroom ‘Manning’ Show Home to assess the quality of the finish and specification. Information regarding the on-site primary school and final completion dates for the public open spaces can be obtained directly by contacting the Donnington Heights Sales Team.
