The Poplars at Roundwood by Redrow Homes · Ninelands Lane, Garforth, Leeds, West Yorkshire LS25 1NT

The Poplars at Roundwood is a fully completed new build community by Redrow Homes, located off Ninelands Lane in the established West Yorkshire town of Garforth, Leeds (LS25 1NT). Launched as part of a larger regeneration of the former Stocks Blocks manufacturing plant, the development successfully delivered 241 new homes, with the final properties reserved by early 2022. The community is now a mature, family-friendly residential area.

Development Overview The development consists primarily of two, three, and four-bedroom properties, including a mix of detached family homes and townhouses. It features designs from Redrow’s Arts & Crafts-inspired Heritage Collection, which are characterised by traditional exteriors that incorporate period-style features like larch lap cladding and decorative brick sills. The community includes 36 affordable homes, alongside the privately sold properties. Property Details The Heritage Collection homes were constructed to a high specification, with interior design focusing on modern, open-plan living spaces. A typical three-bedroom detached house, such as 'The Warwick' house type, features a substantial open-plan kitchen/dining room with patio doors leading to a turfed garden, and a separate, dedicated lounge. Standard fittings included Minoco white gloss units from the Affinity range by Moores, top brand-name AEG and Zanussi appliances, and Amtico flooring in key ground-floor areas. While individual sales are complete, the developer, Redrow Homes, holds a national reputation for delivering a product generally considered of a higher-than-average standard among volume housebuilders. Location and Connectivity The Poplars at Roundwood benefits from excellent connectivity for both commuters and local residents. Garforth train station is easily accessible, offering frequent direct services. The fastest train journey time to Leeds City Station is just nine minutes, with an average journey time of 11 minutes, making the location a highly practical base for city professionals.
