Langley Grange

Langley Grange is a completed or final-phase new build homes development by Redrow Homes, situated on Pilling Lane in the semi-rural village of Scissett, West Yorkshire (HD8 9LP). The development comprises approximately 200 properties from the builder’s Arts & Crafts-inspired Heritage Collection, offering a combination of country living and commuter accessibility.

Development Overview

Langley Grange is a large-scale new build community that was planned to introduce a total of 200 new homes to the Scissett area. The scheme included the provision of 28 affordable homes and over six acres of public open space, featuring three new ponds and meadow habitats to support local wildlife, including Great Crested Newts. The developer, Redrow Homes, is generally regarded among volume housebuilders for its design-led approach, though potential buyers should conduct due diligence on the site-specific track record, as customer experiences with snagging resolution vary across the industry.

Property Details

Properties across the development ranged from two-bedroom mews-style homes up to spacious four-bedroom detached family houses. Available house types historically included the two-bedroom ‘Buxton,’ three-bedroom ‘Ludlow’ and ‘Amberley,’ and four-bedroom ‘Cambridge,’ ‘Shrewsbury,’ and ‘Welwyn’ designs. The four-bedroom detached ‘Welwyn’ typically featured an integral garage and a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family area with patio doors.

A specific feature is the ‘Oxford Lifestyle’ house type, a three-bedroom home built on a four-bedroom footprint, ensuring all three bedrooms are generously sized and each includes its own bathroom, with the main bedroom also featuring a walk-through dressing room. All new build homes at Langley Grange benefit from modern, energy-efficient construction, which, according to research by the Home Builders Federation, saves homeowners an average of £2,600 on annual energy bills compared to equivalent older properties. Ultrafast broadband is supported via FttP (Fibre to the Premises) connectivity, making the development suitable for home working.
