The development is situated on the edge of the historic market town, offering a blend of rural charm with contemporary living standards.

The initial phase of available new build homes consists primarily of 3-bedroom semi-detached house types, including the ‘Magnolia’ and ‘Hazel’ designs, with prices currently starting from £259,950 to £269,950.

Property Details

The available 3-bedroom 'Magnolia' and 'Hazel' house types offer an energy-efficient design, typical of new build construction. The ‘Hazel’ is described as a comfortable three-bedroom semi-detached home featuring an open-plan kitchen/dining room and a master bedroom with a dedicated en-suite bathroom. All properties benefit from freehold tenure and allocated parking spaces, with specific features like cash-back incentives of up to £8,000 available on selected plots (subject to terms and conditions, contact the developer for details). Completion status is ongoing, with roads and footways progressing and open space areas at the front of the development already completed and landscaped.

Note on Developer Track Record: Bovis Homes is marketed as a '5 Star Rated Builder' for six consecutive years. However, prospective buyers should conduct independent due diligence as public forums and review sites include accounts citing issues with build defects, snags, and post-completion customer service.
