Nestled in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, Orchard Gardens stands out as one of Edgefold Homes’ most cherished projects. This £6.4 million development in Warburton, near the stunning National Trust site of Dunham Massey, has become a remarkable addition to the local area.
Comprising seven bespoke detached family homes, Orchard Gardens offered four and five bedroom properties designed with bright, flexible living spaces. Perfect for families, these homes strike a balance between rural tranquillity and easy access to top schools and bustling local hubs like Hale and Lymm.
Designed with Heart and Heritage
Orchard Gardens was built with community, heritage, and sustainability at its core. Collaborating with Bowker Sadler Architects, local planners, and parish councils, we embraced Warburton’s architectural character, drawing inspiration from the area’s historic hamlets and intricate brickwork patterns.
These homes blend contemporary open-plan living with traditional elements like timber-framed windows, oak-framed car barns, and cottage-style ironmongery, creating a seamless harmony with their countryside surroundings. Positioned to offer breathtaking views of nearby orchards and rolling fields, these homes were thoughtfully designed to connect indoor and outdoor living – perfect for modern families.
Sustainability at Its Core
As a sustainable brownfield redevelopment, Orchard Gardens reflects our commitment to the environment. The site features eco-friendly measures such as a waste treatment plant, sustainable drainage systems, and a wildflower meadow, all contributing to a biodiversity net gain.
We also repurposed reclaimed materials from the site’s demolition to minimise waste and reduce the development’s carbon footprint. Thoughtful additions like a Barn Owl habitat, long-term woodland management plans, and an orchard filled with cherry, pear, and apple trees enhance the natural beauty while supporting local wildlife.

A Legacy for the Community
Orchard Gardens isn’t just a collection of houses – it’s a vibrant addition to the local community. New families have brought fresh energy to Warburton, supporting local farm shops, pubs and independent businesses.
Our transformation of a disused office into Edgefold Homes’ head office and marketing suite has allowed us to work in this inspiring rural setting, while also showcasing the development’s quality and charm to prospective buyers.
