All new homes include a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty. The specification for the popular three-bedroom Turner house type, for example, features a separate kitchen, a downstairs cloakroom, and an open-plan living/dining area with French doors providing direct access to the rear garden. The first floor includes an en-suite facility to the master bedroom. Chestnut Vale benefits from its proximity to Wellingborough’s key transport infrastructure. Wellingborough Railway Station is less than a mile from the development, offering direct rail services to London St Pancras International in under an hour via the East Midlands Railway line. Road commuters are approximately 2.7 miles from the A45, which provides connections to the M1 and A1. Northampton is approximately a 30-minute drive away. Local bus routes, including the 48 and 90, service the Stanton Cross area. The development is situated adjacent to a planned country park, which will feature 71 acres of green space, with the 9-acre Grange Park already open. Local day-to-day shopping is served by nearby supermarkets including Tesco, Morrisons, and Lidl. For leisure and retail, the Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre, which includes a Cineworld cinema and major high street brands, is approximately a 10-minute drive via the A45. The town centre’s Swansgate Shopping Centre is also nearby. Educational provision includes nearby existing schools like Victoria Primary Academy (0.9 miles) and Rowan Gate Primary School (0.9 miles), with a new state-of-the-art Stanton Cross Primary School operational within the wider masterplan area. The development masterplan includes the eventual provision of two local centres with shops, a secondary school, a health facility, and a town park. Potential buyers should note that local news reports indicate that the delivery of many of the promised on-site amenities, including retail units and the secondary school, has been subject to delays and remains to be confirmed by the lead developer. The Chestnut Vale sales office and a showhome (the three-bedroom Turner house type) are open for viewings. Prospective buyers are advised to contact the Bellway Northern Home Counties division directly for up-to-date plot-specific information, completion timelines, current incentives (such as deposit contribution or Stamp Duty offers on selected plots), and details regarding the delivery of the wider Stanton Cross infrastructure. Plot-specific tenure information is available upon request from the sales team.
