Hawthorn Park is a new build homes development by Persimmon Homes, located on Cholstrey Road in the historic market town of Leominster, Herefordshire (HR6 8RJ). The development is scheduled to consist of 353 units, offering a mix of energy-efficient one, two, three, four, and five-bedroom houses and apartments, with 88 units designated for a local housing association. Initial property releases include one-bedroom apartments starting from £199,995 and three-bedroom terraced and end-of-terrace new build homes, such as 'The Saunton' and 'The Deepdale', ranging from approximately £289,995 to £329,995.

All new homes at Hawthorn Park are characterised by a focus on sustainability, including the provision of solar panels to ensure greater energy efficiency and reduced running costs. The house types available include a variety of terraced, end-of-terrace, and detached designs. For example, the three-bedroom 'Ashdown' house type features a distinct design with living space spread across three floors, enhanced by a tall gable and a Juliet balcony to the first-floor living room. Available properties feature practical layouts; a three-bedroom 'Stanton' new build home, for instance, includes a first-floor living/dining room measuring 5.33m x 3.96m, a separate kitchen (3.12m x 3.38m), and a dedicated study (2.03m x 2.39m). The developer has contributed over £500,000 for credits to ensure the development is nutrient neutral, mitigating its impact on the River Wye and its tributaries. Hawthorn Park is positioned to offer both countryside living and robust connectivity. Leominster Railway Station provides direct train services to major destinations, including Hereford, Worcester, Shrewsbury, and Manchester. For road users, the A49 and A44 major roads are easily accessible, with the A44 offering direct connections towards Wales to the west and the M5 motorway towards Worcester to the east. Birmingham Airport is approximately an hour and a half's drive away. The development is within walking distance of Leominster town centre, known for its medieval heritage, Georgian architecture, and array of independent shops, eateries, and supermarkets. Local educational facilities include the 'Good' rated Leominster Primary School and Earl Mortimer College, which also incorporates a sixth form. The stunning Brecon Beacons National Park is less than an hour's drive away for outdoor pursuits. Groundworks are confirmed to be underway, with an estimated occupancy date of July 2025 for some available plots. The price range for available new build homes is currently £199,995 to £329,995. Persimmon Homes, the developer, has been awarded 5-star builder status by the Home Builder's Federation (HBF), reflecting that over 9 out of 10 customers would recommend them. However, prospective buyers should note that Persimmon Homes' general reputation is varied, with some public reviews reporting instances of build quality and aftercare issues, placing them at the lower-volume end of the new build market. A range of purchasing incentives, including Deposit Boost and Part Exchange, are offered on selected plots; contact the developer for specific plot eligibility and terms. The development will also deliver £1.8m in financial contributions for local education, transport, and sports facilities.
