Newland Grange, Wakefield: Housebuilder prepares to launch 135 new homes as part of City Fields development

Construction is already underway at Newland Grange, located off Neil Fox Way within the City Fields development. Once completed, Taylor Wimpey will deliver 135 homes, offering a mix of two, three and four-bedroom properties. Of these, 41 homes will be designated as affordable housing.

The development is set to launch in December 2024, with two showhomes ready by: the three-bedroom "Eynford" and the four-bedroom "Bittesford", a new design debuting in Yorkshire at Newland Grange.

The land, which already had detailed planning permission, was purchased by the developer from Wakefield City Council. Each home will feature sustainable technology to minimise environmental impact, including solar panels, triple glazing, smart heating controls, EV charging ports, wastewater heat recovery and thermal door and window lintels to reduce heat loss.

Lucinda Dickens, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire, said: “The City Fields area of Wakefield is undergoing an amazing transformation. It is a consortium site, with several housebuilders coming together to provide hundreds of homes for the area, helping to create vibrant new communities.

“The development has been designed to complement local surroundings and the homes will benefit from the latest technology in respect of insulation, low maintenance and sustainability. 

“We hope Newland Grange will have something on offer to cater to all residents and encourage anyone interested in moving to the area to visit our website and register their interest.”

City Fields spans 375 hectare east of Wakefield and is situated near the River Calder and the Aire and Calder Canal. The location offers convenient access, just a 20-minute walk from Wakefield city centre, a five-minute drive to the M1, and only 25 minutes from Leeds city centre.
