Property Details

The current release, Phase 2, introduces a collection of 'Eco Electric' homes, which include air source heat pumps, enhanced insulation, and underfloor heating across the ground floor as standard in all detached house types. Available house types include 'The Buxton', a 2-bedroom end-terrace; 'The Amberley', a 3-bedroom home; 'The Henley', a 4-bedroom detached house available from £625,000; 'The Richmond', a 4-bedroom detached home with an integral double garage priced at £660,000; and 'The Hampstead', a 5-bedroom detached family home listed from £619,000. Floorplans typically feature higher ceilings, open-plan living/kitchen/dining areas, and dedicated utility spaces, providing functional space for modern family requirements. The 5-bedroom Hampstead, for instance, includes a double walk-in shower and two en-suite bedrooms.

Location Benefits and Local Amenities

The development is positioned in the tranquil residential area of St John’s, offering proximity to open green spaces while remaining minutes from Worcester city centre. Local retail provisions are robust, including a Nisa Local convenience store on Bromyard Road, and a large Sainsbury’s Superstore located a short drive away in St John’s. Plans have also been submitted for a new Lidl supermarket on the old Meco site on Bromyard Road, which is intended to incorporate additional commercial units for small businesses, further enhancing local amenities.

For education, nearby primary schools include Rushwick CofE Primary School and Honeywell Primary School. Higher education is accessible via the University of Worcester’s St John’s Campus (WR2 6AJ).
