Property Details

The properties at New Fields include various house styles from the Redrow Heritage Collection, such as the two-bedroom 'Florence' and 'Oakland' apartments, and the three- and four-bedroom detached family homes like the 'Stratford' and 'Leamington Lifestyle'. The design philosophy emphasises practical modern living, with features including integrated appliances in the kitchens, separate utility rooms, and dedicated living rooms in many house types. For instance, the 'Leamington Lifestyle' features an open-plan kitchen/dining/family area with bi-fold doors to the garden, and all three bedrooms are doubles, each benefiting from a private en-suite bathroom, with the principal bedroom also including a walk-in wardrobe. The development itself incorporates public open space and a dedicated park area, fostering a community environment. Available properties typically include a garage or allocated parking.
