Chester From its well-preserved Roman ruins, to the medieval town walls, Victorian civic buildings and the half-timbered splendour of The Rows, this remarkable historic city is as varied as it is vibrant.

The city centre offers a lively mix of designer outlets, restaurants, bars, pubs, theatres and hotels, making Chester a ‘must visit’ destination for visitors from around the world. Of course the most famous international visitors were the Romans, who established the city in 75 AD and helped it grow into one of Europe’s most prominent trade and cultural centres.

They named it ‘Deva’ after the spirit of the River Dee, which flows through the centre of the city. Nowadays, rather than Roman legions, you’re far more likely to see residents enjoying a stroll along its banks or taking a boat out on its lazy waters for some gentle exercise.

History and Heritage…

But it’s not just the variety to be found within the city walls that makes Chester such an attractive proposition.

Spend a day enjoying all the fun, flair and finesse of the sport of Kings at the beautiful Chester Racecourse. Or go really wild and spend a day at the famous Chester Zoo, which boasts one of country’s finest collections of flora and fauna from around the world.

And just a little further afield, the easily accessible surrounding countryside offers dramatic contrasts between the breathtaking ruggedness of Snowdonia and the gentle, sweeping beauty of the Cheshire plain.

Chester, though one of Britain’s most historic cities, is also looking forward to an exciting future thanks to the incredible re-generation work that is currently being undertaken in the ‘Chester Renaissance’ programme.

For business or leisure trips abroad, Upton Dene is well positioned for access to both John Lennon Airport and Manchester International Airport, which are virtually on Chester’s doorstep.

For everyday necessities the Upton Dene development is also ideally located nearby to Bache Village, which boasts a selection of superb local schools and excellent day-to-day shopping facilities. Meanwhile, being situated close to Chester means that the city’s heritage and attractions are also within easy reach.

Upton Dene The attraction is easy to see Set in one of Chester’s most desirable areas, on the edge of green belt land, but only two miles from Chester city centre, Upton Dene represents a very attractive proposition indeed.

This attractive proposition is heightened by the fact that Upton Dene will be built on the traditional values of a successful English Garden Village, providing open, green spaces within a residential environment. Garden villages were originally designed to provide well-planned, selfcontained communities surrounded by countryside while containing a balance of residences, agriculture and industry.

The Garden Village concept at Upton Dene ensures that tree lined boulevards curve their way through the development, with planted grass verges and areas of open space. The new housing will be built in small community clusters around shared courtyards and traffic calmed streets. Each cluster will have a unique character and style in its architecture, creating a village that will visually delight those living in or visiting the area. The development is also designed with sustainability in mind, so that we are both protecting the environment and keeping energy bills down.

This is highlighted by the fact that the spacious houses and apartments in Upton Dene offer desirable living space for many different home-movers. Options have been carefully designed to create the perfect new home for growing families, those wishing to get their first foot on the ladder, or people looking for the ideal space for a long and fulfilling retirement.

The careful consideration and planning that has been put into the Upton Dene development ensures that there is something to suit many tastes and lifestyles.

Find your

own space

As one of the country’s largest privately owned housebuilders, our reputation for quality of design, build and service continues to grow.

Upton Dene is a good example of everything we stand for.

Our team of architects and interior designers have carefully researched the surrounding area to ensure that they capture the character of the locality, while adding qualities that enhance and improve. The properties available range from striking, modern apartments through to more traditionally styled large detached houses.

The materials we have used reflect the character of the surrounding area; but also conform to very good eco-homes standards, ensuring that the homes on the development are cost effective to run and have as minimal impact on the environment as possible.

The result is a development that, while varied in its style and layout, is consistently high in its quality of build and interior specification, and, almost more importantly, allows people not only their own space, but also room to enjoy their surroundings.

At Morris we take pride in the quality of our work, for which we’ve won many prestigious accolades, including the National House-Building Council’s ‘Pride in the Job’ awards.

We design homes which are carefully laid out to make the most of the overall design and ensure that the space is flexible enough to meet the demands of modern living.

We then work to the highest standards and combine traditional craftsmanship with modern construction techniques and building materials, to realise our plans and to create homes that are both welcoming and practical.

We’re confident that our houses are somewhere you’ll want to come home to. An extensive range of interior packages means all tastes are catered for, from the classic through to the contemporary. We offer the ability to tailor the choices available to give you a home which is distinctly yours.

The

choices

open to you

Whichever property you choose, you will have a number of design options open to you that will make your new house feel like home.

In the kitchen, you can choose from a range of door and worktop finishes. Likewise, in your bathroom and/or en-suite, you have a choice of tiles to help give it your own personal style.

To allow you to further personalise your Morris home, we also offer a wide choice from our Signature range giving you the chance to put a unique finish to your new home – from decorative finishes to a choice of flooring, from integrated kitchen appliances to additional power sockets.

For your additional peace of mind, we can also enhance the security systems that are fitted as standard through the installation of security lighting and specialist detectors.

The availability of these choices is dependent on the stage of construction of your property, so please ask your Sales Advisor about the choices open to you.

Taking care of where we build We are not only selective about the locations we choose to develop, but also about how we then go about developing them.

Wherever we can, we acquire sites with a mature feel, and design around existing trees and features. We invest heavily in additional landscaping and are consistent winners in the Daily Mail ‘Greenleaf’ Awards.

Morris was also voted ‘The Green Housebuilder of the Year’ for their proven commitment to building eco friendly, energy efficient homes.

We also look to add to the attraction and help the development blend in with its surroundings through the use of materials that are in-keeping with the style and history of the location.

THE SUNDAY TIMES

Taking pride in what we We pride ourselves on combining exceptional build quality, a high specification and outstanding design in every property we build, from apartments to large detached houses.

Regardless of what we are building, we work to strict standards and carry out rigorous checks to make sure that we meet your demand for the best.

These standards and checks are laid down in a Quality Management Book – a working document that makes it crystal clear to everybody involved in the construction process exactly what is expected of them.

To make sure that standards are being met, a representative of the NHBC (National House-Building Council) visits on a regular basis to inspect and assess the quality of the work.

And to give you extra peace of mind all our homes are also covered by the NHBC’s 10 year guarantee.

In addition, we are proud of the level of service we offer to our customers. Morris was one of only 3 housebuilders (the only one building in the North West) to be awarded a four star rating in a government backed New Homes Customer Satisfaction Survey – the leading industry benchmark.

You can be sure that from the very first time you contact us, through to our after sales service, we will do our best to provide you with the assistance you need.

Upton Dene is built upon the traditional values of an English Garden Village, which provides the feeling of open green spaces within a wider urban enivronment. This feeling is reflected in the tree lined boulevards and planted grass verges which can be found all around the development.

The properties within Upton Dene have been carefully designed to fit in with the English Garden Village concept. Each of the houses have been positioned to form small community clusters, where they have their own unique architectural character and style.

In order to generate this strong sense of community, which will grow over the years, Upton Dene will be divided into five distinct neighbourhoods:

THE OAKS The final phase forms the entrance to the site and features a selection of fantastic 2 and 3 bedroom homes, including apartments, mews and semi detached homes.

WILLOW GREEN Features a mix of apartments, 3 bedroom townhouses and semi detached homes, along with 4 and 5 bedroom detached properties built upon a tree lined boulevard and set within attractive areas of open green space.

BIRCH VIEW This phase stretches from one side of green belt land to the other and includes a varied selection of house types, incorporating arches of townhouses that resemble those found in upmarket London boroughs. There are also a number of semi-detached and 4 and 5 bedroom detached homes set along stunning tree lined roads.

CEDAR RISE Bordered by areas of green belt land and boasting an exclusive selection of 3 bedroom townhouses, this phase is designed around small cul-de-sacs which enhance the community feel of the development.

LIME TREE BOULEVARD This phase features a striking selection of 4 and 5 bedroom detached homes. These properties are surrounded by green space which is designed to enhance the English Garden Village concept that is reflected throughout the development.
