Development Overview

Woodlands is an exclusive private new build homes development by Bovis Homes, developed in joint venture with Wates Developments Group, located on Hospital Road in the tranquil village of Barrow Gurney, North Somerset, BS48 3SF. The scheme comprises a total of 66 high-quality detached executive residences and was recognised as the ‘Best Small Development of the Year’ at the South West Insider Residential Property Awards 2023.

This collection of new build homes is situated within a preserved, mature woodland setting, approximately six miles from the centre of Bristol. The development’s specific collection consists of three, four, and five-bedroom detached properties. Current availability is limited, with the development in its final phase of sales.
