Windsor Park

Development Overview

Windsor Park is a new build property development by Charles Church, part of the Persimmon Group, located on Herriot Way in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, WF1 2GA. The development is situated between the established local areas of Wrenthorpe and Newton Hill, less than two miles from Wakefield City Centre. Charles Church holds a current HBF 5-star rating for customer satisfaction, providing a recognised assurance of quality and service to new homeowners. The available properties at Windsor Park are largely focused on the premium end of the market, consisting of 5-bedroom executive detached homes, with prices currently advertised from £499,950. The site is positioned to serve buyers looking for substantial family homes with excellent access to both Wakefield and the wider West Yorkshire region.

Property Details

Windsor Park primarily offers large 5-bedroom detached new build homes. While the current focus is on this higher specification, the development site has also seen the sale of 4-bedroom homes, and properties have included 3-bedroom detached house types, with one example advertised featuring a single garage, driveway, and an en-suite to the principal bedroom. Prospective buyers can expect a high standard of energy efficiency built into all homes. Typical new build features across the Charles Church portfolio include advanced energy-saving measures such as PV panels, high-performance double glazing, and modern, efficient boilers, which can contribute to significant savings—up to an estimated £1,980 per year compared to an average older property. Buyers should contact the sales office for specific house styles and individual plot specifications, which may include details on internal fixtures, garden sizes, and garage provisions.

Location Benefits

The development’s location in the WF1 postcode area provides commuters with immediate access to significant transport infrastructure. Road links are strong, with easy connectivity to both the M1 and M62 motorways, placing Leeds approximately 10 miles to the north. For public transport users, Wakefield's main train and bus stations are cited as being within walking distance, offering key regional and national rail links. Local bus services, including Arriva routes like the 126 (Dewsbury to Wakefield) and others serving Pinderfields Hospital (e.g., 102/103), run nearby. Local amenities include the Rhubarb Triangle Brewers Fayre, situated next to Snowhill Retail Park. Furthermore, the area is known for its cultural proximity to major attractions, including the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and The Hepworth Wakefield art gallery. The location is also close to local schools, which a resident review indicated are within a good catchment area.
