Etling Grove

Development Overview

Etling Grove is a new build homes development by Taylor Wimpey, located on Field Maple Drive in the market town of Dereham, Norfolk (NR20 3GD). The development comprises a well-balanced landscape of 62 homes across 10 original home designs, ranging from two to five bedrooms. The project is nearing completion, with only a limited number of 4 and 5-bedroom detached family properties now available. Buyers can explore final opportunities, some with a potential move-in date this summer, making Etling Grove a practical option for those requiring an immediate move to a new build property. The remaining new build homes are available in a price range from approximately £350,000 to £445,000.

Property Details

Current availability focuses on 4 and 5-bedroom detached family houses. An example of the remaining property types is the four-bedroom detached ‘Huxford’ house, priced at approximately £350,000, and the five-bedroom, three-storey ‘Garrton’ house, available at approximately £440,000. The Garrton house type is designed for flexible living, featuring a dedicated home office or playroom, and a large, sociable kitchen/dining area that benefits from two sets of double doors opening onto the rear garden. The home includes a single garage with driveway parking for two cars, and the principal bedroom suite incorporates a dressing area with built-in storage and an en-suite bathroom. All homes are constructed with energy efficiency in mind, incorporating modern insulation, smart heating systems, and provision for EV charging. An annual estate management fee of £216.82 applies to all properties.

Location and Transport Links

Dereham offers a balance of country living with practical town and commuter access. The development is situated with easy access to the A47, the primary route linking the area to major regional centres. Norwich is located approximately 16 miles to the east, typically a 25-30 minute drive, while King’s Lynn is accessible to the west. Public transport is facilitated by the Konectbus routes, with the nearby Etling Green stop providing access to the Konectbus 8 and 8A services, running every 30 minutes to Norwich City Centre and the Norwich Rail Station. Local bus route 13 also connects Dereham with Swanton Morley.

Local Amenities and Developer Profile

Local amenities are close at hand, including a Tesco Extra supermarket approximately 0.7 miles from the development. For recreation, Dereham Leisure Centre is 0.3 miles away, and Dereham Town Football Club is within 0.1 miles. Educational facilities include Dereham Neatherd High School (0.4 miles) and King’s Park Infant School (0.9 miles). Taylor Wimpey is one of the UK’s largest residential developers, holding a 4-star customer rating from the Home Builders Federation, which indicates that over 90% of their customers would recommend them. While the company maintains a strong volume track record, prospective buyers should note that independent feedback, though mixed, sometimes highlights concerns regarding minor snagging issues and aftercare on some developments, a common characteristic of large-scale national housebuilders.
