The Willows

Development Overview

The Willows is a new build development by David Wilson Homes, situated on Musselburgh Way within the sought-after Elsea Park area of Bourne, Lincolnshire (PE10 0XY). The scheme, which commenced construction in March 2022, is set to deliver a total of 141 new homes, with the current phase focusing on a collection of three and four-bedroom houses. Available properties range in price from £249,995 to £454,995, with homes now actively for sale and in various stages of completion, including plots designated as ‘Ready to move into’. David Wilson Homes, a part of Barratt Developments, is a proven housebuilder, having consistently achieved the maximum five-star rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF) since 2010.

Property Details

The development features several distinct house types to cater to various buyer requirements. Current three and four-bedroom properties include the ARCHFORD (from £249,995), The Greenwood (a three-bedroom, three-storey design from £316,995), The Holden (from £454,995), The Avondale, and The Chelworth.

Key design features across the range include open-plan living spaces, utility rooms, and separate studies or home offices, addressing the demand for flexible remote working space. For example, the four-bedroom Avondale model features a 21ft open-plan family hub with French doors, a separate study, and four double bedrooms, with the main bedroom including an en-suite shower room. Similarly, the three-storey Greenwood includes a dedicated study, a utility cupboard, and a second lounge on the first floor. Select plots benefit from views overlooking the development’s Willow Pond, and certain homes, such as The Chelworth and The Avondale, are designed to incorporate energy-efficient features like solar PV panels. Many properties come with garages or driveway parking for multiple vehicles.

Location Benefits and Transport Links

The Willows is positioned on the edge of Bourne, offering a semi-rural setting while maintaining immediate access to core amenities. On-site, residents have access to a Co-op supermarket and the Full of Beans coffee shop. Bourne town centre, a short distance away, provides larger retail options including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Lidl, and an M&S Food Hall, alongside local services like a dentist, doctors' surgery, and post office.

Educationally, the development is well-served by local schools, including Bourne Westfield Primary Academy (Ofsted Outstanding) and Bourne Elsea Park Church of England Primary Academy (Ofsted Good) nearby, along with secondary options like Bourne Academy and Bourne Grammar School.

For connectivity, the development offers practical road access to the A15 and A1. Driving times include approximately 35 minutes to Peterborough, and 30 minutes to both Boston and Grantham. While Bourne lacks a train station, the market town of Stamford is a 20-minute drive and offers direct rail services to Peterborough and Leicester. Commuters can access direct services from Peterborough to London King's Cross, with journey times of under an hour, making the development a viable option for those requiring fast links to the capital. Local transport is supplemented by a free community minibus and local bus routes.
