Redrow Garden Villages
Redrow Garden Village developments are inspired by ‘Garden Cities’, and are usually created in semi-rural settings. We design our developments to offer residents the best of both worlds - easy access to commuter links and nearby towns, as well as a peaceful style of countryside living.
Think plenty of green spaces, community facilities and carefully landscaped streets all coming together to create truly welcoming, vibrant neighbourhoods of beautiful new homes.
Places by design
Our developments are all created with our ‘places by design’ concept in mind.
Creating places by design means seeing the bigger picture and bringing together key elements including a variety of different new house types from our Inspired and Heritage Collections, to meet your local needs.
Often this involves revitalising a site that was previously disused or served a different purpose. For example, our Amington Garden Village development in the Midlands was a colliery, a brickworks and a golf course before it became a thriving and sustainable neighbourhood.
Garden Village communities
We don’t just construct new homes – we create amazing places to live. Somewhere that makes it attractive and enjoyable to be outside as well as providing realistic alternatives to using the car. Somewhere with quiet streets that are safe to cycle along as well as footways that connect green spaces and other destinations. It’s all part of what we like to call The Redrow Difference.
All of our Garden Villages have well-landscaped spaces and streets that create a calming effect to offer benefits to mental health. You’ll find a neighbourhood that is easily accessible to all so that neighbours can meet and catch up, creating a place with a sense of community.
On all of our developments, we seek to create ‘walkable neighbourhoods’ where we prioritise the needs of pedestrians. At the design stage this is probably the most important thing we can do to encourage physical activity among residents. We also aim to either create or connect to ‘places to go and things to do’ on all of our developments and design the homes and spaces around these. This could be a community facility, an area of open space, an outdoor gym, or simply a footpath loop to take the dog for a walk or go for a run after work.
We believe that encouraging healthy eating is so important. Whether it is through the provision of community orchards (such as at our Saxon Brook development in Exeter), edible landscapes or community allotments.
Redrow Garden Villages: Success Stories
AMINGTON GARDEN VILLAGE, STAFFORDSHIRE: FROM COAL MINE TO SUSTAINABLE NEW COMMUNITY
One of our largest developments in the Midlands, our flagship Amington Garden Village features 1,100 new two, three, four and five homes across the individual Amington Fairway, Eagle Gate and Amington Green developments.
However, from the late 19th century, this location was home to Amington Colliery as well as a local brick and tile works before becoming a golf course from the 1970s until 2014. It’s now a great example of our placemaking principles in action - with high quality homes and accessible parkland set against the backdrop of a sustainable development which provides a better way to live.
WOODFORD GARDEN VILLAGE, CHESHIRE: FROM AIRFIELD TO SOARING SUCCESS
When asked ‘What is a garden village?’ it would be difficult to point to a better example than Woodford Garden Village, on the South Manchester/Cheshire border.
Already a thriving community, Woodford is the first garden village of its kind to be built in the north of England for decades. It’s made up of the Shackleton Fields, Anson Meadows and Ashton Chase developments, offering three, four and five-bedroom new homes.
This impressive project involved turning the old aerodrome site, previously one of the largest brownfield sites in the region, into a beautiful housing development set amid areas of play, parks and a village green. Other facilities include a primary school, shops and a pub.
