Calder Wynd

Development Overview

Calder Wynd is a new build development by Taylor Wimpey, situated in the semi-rural setting of Carnbroe, Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire (ML5 4UF). This planned neighbourhood will comprise 188 high-quality homes, offering a diverse selection of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom properties. The current price range for available homes spans from approximately £209,995 to £337,000. The development is designed to appeal to a wide range of buyers, from first-time homeowners to growing families, balancing a tranquil, woodland-backed atmosphere with excellent transport accessibility.

Taylor Wimpey, one of the UK’s largest residential developers, holds a 5-star customer satisfaction rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), meaning over 90% of customers would recommend them. However, prospective buyers should note the company maintains a mixed public reputation, with a 4-star rating overall, indicating good but sometimes inconsistent quality and aftercare experiences across various sites.

Property Details

The development features a choice of eight house styles, including the 2-bedroom 'The Andrew' terraced house, available from £209,995, and the 3-bedroom 'The Baxter' end-terrace, priced from £249,995. The 3-bedroom semi-detached 'The Chalmers', currently priced at £289,995, exemplifies the specification, including a lounge/diner with French doors to the rear garden, a main bedroom with an en suite shower room, and a single integral garage. All homes are designed for flexible, modern living across two storeys and include energy-efficient features such as PV solar panels. Each new property comes with the reassurance of a 2-year Taylor Wimpey warranty and a 10-year NHBC warranty.
