Housebuilder's 10 Reasons For Living In Hartford

Redrow Homes is giving house-hunters in the North West 10 reasons to consider one of the family homes currently available at its three developments development in the Cheshire village of Hartford.

Anna Evans-Kerr, head of sales at Redrow North West, said: “Hartford is a very attractive and aspirational village to live in. It’s got a lovely sense of community spirit but it’s also perfectly placed between Manchester, Liverpool and Chester for commuting and should homebuyers want to experience what a city has to offer.”

She urged people searching for an ideal brand new home to consider a host of reasons for picking Weaver Park, Water’s Reach or Hartford Grange.

1. Stay local

The leafy Cheshire village of Hartford is as practical as it is desirable. Boasting independent shops, a Co-op, and restaurants that serve everything from breakfasts to evening meals, residents won’t have to go far when they’ve run out of milk.

2. Schools

When looking at where to raise a family, having good schools close by is usually top of the list and luckily Hartford has plenty to choose from. It is home to nine primary and secondary schools, including Hartford High School, St Nicholas High School and independent co-ed school The Grange, with primary schools such as Hartford Primary School being Ofsted rated ‘Outstanding’.

3. Get outdoors

Not only is Hartford surrounded by beautiful Cheshire countryside but it is only a few miles from family favourites Marbury Park and Delamere Forest. Go Ape adventure park can also be found within Delamere Forest for those who like a bit more of a thrill!

4. Commuters

For commuters Hartford has fantastic links via Hartford station that offers trains to Liverpool, Birmingham and London, while nearby Greenbank station serves Manchester and Chester. Motorways such as the M6 and M56 are within easy reach.

5. Investment in the community

Since 2016, Redrow has donated more than £20,000 from voluntary community funds set up to support small projects at the heart of local life. It has also raised thousands of pounds for local charities through Christmas events held at Hartford Grange. This is in addition to multi-million-pound contributions to community infrastructure including education, travel, open space and affordable housing.

6. More for your money

If you have lived in the suburbs of Manchester in areas such as Didsbury and Chorlton, moving out to Hartford will give you much more for your money.
