Potteric Edge Development Overview

Potteric Edge is a new build residential development by Bovis Homes, a five-star rated housebuilder, located on Carolina Way in the Lakeside area of Doncaster, South Yorkshire (DN4 5FY). The development consists of a collection of contemporary 3 and 4-bedroom new build homes designed for first-time buyers, growing families, and downsizers. The development offers properties both for outright sale and via Shared Ownership schemes, with the latter delivered in partnership with providers like Sage Homes and Home Reach. Full market prices for available properties currently range from approximately £259,950 up to £329,950 for semi-detached, end-terrace, and detached house types. Shared Ownership options are available from a starting price point of around £125,980, typically representing a 50% share of a 3-bedroom house.

Property Details

The development features a variety of house styles, including the Peach, Pear, Sage Home, and Beech house types. These properties are predominantly 3 and 4-bedroom configurations across two or three storeys. Typical designs incorporate open-plan living and kitchen/dining areas, with some multi-storey layouts offering flexible space such as a dedicated ground floor study or a separate sitting room. Each home includes a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, private rear gardens, and two allocated parking spaces. A significant focus has been placed on energy efficiency, with homes featuring high-performance double glazing, PV solar panels, and water waste heat recovery systems, resulting in estimated average savings of over £2,200 per year on energy bills compared to older homes. All new homes come with a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty.

Potteric Edge is situated approximately two miles from Doncaster city centre. The location benefits from excellent local transport links, including the nearby M18 and A1(M), which provide road access to Sheffield in just over half an hour, and connections north to Leeds and York.
