Glevum Green

Development Overview

Glevum Green is a new build development by Redrow Homes, situated on the former Civil Servants' Sports Ground on Estcourt Road, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, GL1 3LG. The development comprises 100 new build homes, primarily focusing on three and four-bedroom family residences.

Redrow Homes, a UK volume housebuilder, typically maintains a strong reputation for design quality, specifically their award-winning Heritage Collection, though prospective buyers should note that developer feedback on customer service and post-sale snagging is mixed across the industry.

Indicative starting prices for properties, based on initial launch data, include the 3-bedroom Ludlow (from £305,995) and the 4-bedroom Cambridge (from £437,995). Current availability and specific new build prices should be confirmed directly with the developer due to market changes.

Property Details

Residences at Glevum Green are drawn from the Heritage Collection, a design range known for combining traditional Arts and Crafts style architecture with modern, open-plan interior layouts designed for family living. The development offers a selection of three and four-bedroom homes, including the three-bedroom Oxford Lifestyle and the four-bedroom Shaftesbury house types.

Standard specifications include the provision of Ultrafast Broadband, a critical factor for home working, and an opportunity for homeowners to personalise their interiors through the 'My Redrow' platform.

Location Benefits

The Estcourt Road location offers proximity to both Gloucester city centre and extensive transport links, making it a viable option for commuters. Gloucester Train Station, situated near the city centre, provides direct services with journey times of approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes to London Paddington (fastest service) and as fast as 47 minutes to Birmingham New Street.

Local bus routes serving the area, with stops on or near Estcourt Road (e.g., at the Rugby Ground), include key Stagecoach services such as the 94, 94X, 98, and 99, connecting residents to the Gloucester Transport Hub and Cheltenham. For car travel, the site offers convenient access to the M5 Motorway at Junctions 11 and 12.

Local amenities are a significant benefit. Glevum Green is located near Kingsholm Stadium, home of Gloucester Rugby, a local golf club, and a tennis centre. The historic Gloucester Cathedral and the rejuvenated Victorian Docks are within easy reach.

For education, the area benefits from several highly regarded institutions. Nearby selective secondary schools include the Ofsted Outstanding-rated The Crypt School and Denmark Road High School (Girls), alongside Sir Thomas Rich’s School (Boys). Primary options include Kingsholm Church of England Primary School, rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
