Property Details

Properties at Stoney Bank Chase are primarily two, three, and four-bedroom houses, including semi-detached, terraced, and detached house types. Examples of house styles include the 4-bedroom detached 'Shrewsbury' model, which features a spacious ground-floor layout with a separate lounge, an open-plan kitchen/dining area, a utility room, a cloakroom, and an integral garage. Many of the larger homes are designed as 'Lifestyle' properties, reducing the number of bedrooms to create fewer but more generously sized rooms, often with all bedrooms benefitting from en-suite facilities. Standard new build features include high-specification appliances in the fitted kitchens and ultrafast broadband connectivity, with speeds of up to 1139Mbps available. Homeowners contribute an estimated yearly maintenance fee of £180.00 to cover the upkeep of communal landscaped areas.
