Last chance to get a move on in Stratford
Sandpipers is selling well ahead of its 2009 schedule - but with a winning combination of cutting edge design and materials, plus the ambitious Birmingham Road regeneration scheme taking shape, is it any wonder? Made up of 90 properties in total (only one now remains) Sandpipers by George Wimpey has seven types of apartment all with coveted parking space. And these luxury new homes offer a convenient and very favourable position in the town. The last remaining property is a one bedroom ground floor apartment with allocated parking, luxury flooring throughout, stainless steel appliances already installed and upgraded kitchen units for just £115,995.
Sales manager Jan Titley explains: “The buyer profile is refreshingly different – much more owner occupation than investor - with a lot of young professionals, first time buyers, second home owners and those downsizing because of the convenience of new build and the fantastic location. We’re situated just half a mile North West of the town centre and the railway station, so both are an easy five minute stroll away.
“Being just off the main A34 commuter route to Birmingham, Sandpipers is also very accessible to the A46 and other major towns south of Birmingham, so avoiding the customary delays experienced from the south of Stratford. The Birmingham Road area has also changed dramatically of late with the transformation of the Maybird Centre next door to us into a state-of-the-art, glass fronted shopping mall that’s attracted the likes of household favourites Asda Living, Next, Boots, WH Smith, Tesco, Halfords, as well as the original B&Q. The area directly opposite us is also being transformed into designer wine bars, bistros and restaurants, while the canal basin nearby is also to be tidied up and refreshed - to collectively uplift the whole of this side of Stratford.”

Tiddington Grange is across town on the aspirational Tiddington Road and here just one of the five bespoke two-bedroom apartments tucked away at the bottom of the development (alongside the picturesque golf course) remains. This ground floor apartment with allocated parking, en suite off the master bedroom and its own private rear garden is unique in its open plan layout and especially designed for Tiddington Road. It’s now available for just £229,995.
Ms Titley adds: “These apartments have proved ideal for those downsizing from a family home that’s now to large, as well as high end professionals who don’t want a rambling family home. But we’ve also had a lot of interest from Londoners seeking a second home or pied a terre, plus the Americans and Japanese who return to Stratford year after year.”
Last, but not least, an executive five bedroom, three storey detached property (plot 17, Arden House) with two ensuites and garage remains at Tiddington Grange for only £499.995. Here, the highest specifications and craftsmanship have been used in creating kitchens and bathrooms, which encapsulate the sumptuous style of affluent historic homes. Outside, the arching gables, wide chimneys, white plasterwork and contrasting timbers expertly recreate the best original buildings in Stratford, while garages are elegantly styled as courtyard outbuildings.
