Sonnet Park, Banbury Road, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 7GY

Development Overview

Sonnet Park is a new build development by Persimmon Homes, located on Banbury Road just under two miles from the historic centre of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. The development is designed to provide a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom new build homes, comprising detached, semi-detached, and three-storey townhouse styles. The site borders open countryside while maintaining easy access to key town amenities. Persimmon Homes currently holds a 5-star rating from the Home Builder’s Federation (HBF), meaning over 90% of their customers would recommend them to a friend. However, prospective buyers should conduct independent research, as general third-party reviews of the developer's build quality and aftercare across their wider portfolio are mixed. The homes benefit from a 10-year NHBC warranty.

Property Details

Properties available at Sonnet Park feature modern layouts and specifications designed for contemporary living. Recent sales have provided a concrete pricing context for the development. Three-bedroom homes have included 'The Danbury' (a semi-detached plot with a last known price of £339,995) and 'The Barnwood' (a detached, double-fronted style last priced at £420,000). The three-bedroom 'Barnwood' house type includes an open-plan kitchen/diner, a separate utility room, a downstairs WC, and a dual-aspect living room with French doors leading to the garden. Many three-bedroom styles, such as 'The Danbury', and the four-bedroom 'The Whinfell' townhouse, incorporate a main bedroom with an en suite bathroom.

Some properties, like 'The Danbury', have an estimated annual service charge of £349.05.
