Morwick Springs

Development Overview

Morwick Springs is a new build homes development by Taylor Wimpey located on Leeds Road in the LS15 8TA area of East Leeds, West Yorkshire. The development forms part of the wider East Leeds Extension, positioned strategically along the new East Leeds Orbital Route (ELOR). This new community offers a mixed tenure of properties, featuring one, two, three, and four-bedroom homes, designed to appeal to first-time buyers, growing families, and downsizers.

As of current listings, available properties range from 1-bedroom maisonettes priced at £199,995 to 4-bedroom detached houses up to £624,995. Taylor Wimpey, the developer, is a major national builder. While they have previously held a 5-star customer satisfaction rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), recent rolling data suggests performance was in the four-star territory, although the company has stated they are on course to regain the 5-star status for the next official rating period.

Property Details

The Morwick Springs development offers a variety of layouts, including 2-storey, 2.5-storey, and three-floor living (such as the Trelton house type). Current home styles for larger family units include the Hubham, Kitham, Rightford, Plumdale, and Elterham detached models. Typical features include open-plan kitchen/dining areas, separate lounges, and dedicated utility or downstairs WC/utility rooms. For example, the four-bedroom Plumdale features a sociable kitchen/diner with double doors leading to the garden and a main bedroom with an en-suite shower room.

A key focus of Morwick Springs is its commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. All new build homes are designed to be gas-free, incorporating contemporary technologies such as air source heat pumps, EV charging points, triple glazing, smart heating controls, and wastewater heat recovery systems. These features are intended to deliver better energy efficiency and lower utility bills compared to older properties.
