Luxury Homes To Launch At Former Law Campus
Castle Green Homes is among the partners redeveloping the former University of Law Chester Campus in Christleton. The land became vacant when the university moved to the Queens Park Campus. Planning was approved in April 2022 and work to prepare the land for new homes began in summer 2023.
WhatHouse? Award-winning developer Castle Green Homes is building 24 homes on the northern parcel of the 2.7 hectare site, close to the sports pitches.
The housebuilder is now preparing to welcome buyers into a professionally styled and fully furnished show home at the prestigious development, known as College Park. It will be available from 13 January, when the first five properties will also be released for sale.
Sian Pitt, sales director at Castle Green, says: “It’s important that we acknowledge the area’s history while giving the land a new lease of life. With that in mind, we’ve taken inspiration from the academic use of the site of our new homes in Christleton and named the development College Park. Local people have shown a strong interest in the future of the site and we’ve been receiving enquiries about the homes since our involvement with the redevelopment of the former university site was announced. Work on site is progressing well and we’re looking forward to being able to showcase the luxury level of living the exclusive choice of three, four and five-bedroom homes from our Signature Collection will offer with the opening of the show home. We also offer the ability to take a virtual tour of the development and the individual homes before they’re built via the website.”
The show home is an example of the Townsend house type. A substantial, double fronted, detached five-bedroom home, it offers an impressive 2,908 sq. ft of thoughtfully planned living space.
Externally it exudes traditional charm and character, evocative of the Arts and Crafts era, including a decorative arched entrance.
The kitchen, breakfast area and family room, is destined to be the heart of this home. Along with the adjoining practical utility, this sociable space spans the entire width of the property. Designed to address the demands of modern living, there’s a lounge at the front of the property, perfect for quieter moments, with a dedicated dining room, ideal for formal entertaining. Recognising that many people now work from home for at least part of the week, there’s a study. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, all five bedrooms are generously proportioned. The primary bedroom boasts a walk-in dressing area which leads to a spacious en-suite bathroom. Bedrooms two and three also benefit an en-suite each, meaning that the family bathroom serves just two bedrooms.
The superb specification afforded in the new homes in Christleton includes an exquisite choice of Laura Ashley kitchens with co-ordinated quartz worktops. Kitchens will be well-equipped with NEFF appliances including hob, oven, microwave, under counter wine cooler and integrated dishwasher. The largest and most luxurious properties will include a larder fridge and full height cabinet freezer.
Kitchens and family areas will be fitted with a choice of Porcelanosa ceramic floor tiles or Amtico flooring. Bathrooms and en-suites will also benefit Porcelanosa wall and floor tiles, Duravit sanitaryware with complementary chrome taps and a choice of vanity units to the principal en-suite, bathroom and cloakroom.
Sian adds: “We have virtual tours of every house type available via the website, with the option to view furnished or unfurnished. Create a Willow account and you’ll effectively have a digital new homes assistant. Through this platform buyers can favourite homes and explore the exquisite specification options we offer. There’s even the ability to create a digital twin of your preferred property showcasing the options and upgrades selected.”
