Lyde Green

Lyde Green – New Build Homes in Bristol BS16

Development Overview

Lyde Green is a new build residential development by Taylor Wimpey, located on Honeysuckle Road in the established BS16 area of Bristol. This site is now in its final phase of sales, offering one of the last opportunities to purchase a new home directly within this popular, master-planned community. The development comprises a mix of high-quality houses and is designed to integrate fully with the surrounding neighbourhood of Emersons Green, featuring landscaped open spaces and dedicated play areas.

Taylor Wimpey, one of the UK’s largest residential developers, holds a 5-star customer satisfaction rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), reflecting that over 90% of customers would recommend them. Factual feedback from third-party sources is more mixed, generally rating the company as a mid-range volume housebuilder with reasonable but inconsistent quality, with some past concerns noted regarding workmanship and post-completion aftercare on various sites.

Property Details and Pricing

Available properties at Lyde Green are predominantly family-sized homes. Pricing and availability is highly limited as the development nears completion. Current properties returning to the market include a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house priced at approximately £510,000 and a five-bedroom detached house at approximately £590,000.

A specific example of the housing stock is the four-bedroom Bennett house type, a three-storey end-of-terrace property designed for flexible family living. Key features typically include two separate reception rooms, a modern kitchen with double doors leading to the rear garden, a main bedroom suite with a private en-suite shower room, and a lounge with a Juliet balcony. Homes are built to be energy-efficient, offering lower running costs compared to older properties.

Location and Connectivity

The development is positioned for practical travel, offering excellent transport links. By road, Lyde Green provides direct access to the Avon Ring Road (A4174), linking commuters to the M4 and M32 motorways for routes into Bristol City Centre, South Wales, and London. Bristol Parkway train station is 3.6 miles away.

Public transport is served by the nearby Lyde Green Park & Ride, which is a major hub. The metrobus m3 and m3x services run frequently, connecting residents to Bristol City Centre, the Bristol & Bath Science Park, and the UWE Frenchay campus. A direct bus service (First Bristol, Bath & the West) from the Emerald Park stop to Cabot Circus in Bristol City Centre takes approximately 23 minutes.

Local Amenities and Services

Lyde Green is a well-provisioned community. Education provision is strong, with the popular Lyde Green Primary School situated just 0.2 miles from the development. The area also benefits from a dedicated community centre, a library, and medical services. Immediate local amenities include a Tesco Express and a Sainsbury's Local. Further retail and leisure options are available in nearby Emersons Green, which features an out-of-town shopping centre with retailers such as Sainsbury's, Lidl, and Boots. Leisure facilities include the David Lloyd Health & Leisure Club, which is within easy walking distance. Planning permission has been granted for additional community facilities at the Lyde Green Retail park, including a micro pub, a restaurant, and three further shops.

As the development is in its final phase, interested parties are advised to contact the developer directly for the most up-to-date availability, specific plot prices, and viewing arrangements. Alternative new build homes by Taylor Wimpey are available locally at the Stoke Rise development, with prices ranging from approximately £240,000 for a one-bedroom apartment to over £580,000 for a four-bedroom detached house.
