Wool Gardens

Wool Gardens is a new build development by Taylor Wimpey, located on land off Blacknell Lane in the market town of Crewkerne, Somerset (TA18 7HE). The site represents the southern phase of the wider Crewkerne Key Site, which is master-planned to eventually comprise 635 new homes, a 66-bed care home, and commercial space. The initial phase consists of 110 high-quality new homes, offering a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom properties designed to appeal to a broad range of buyers, from first-time homeowners to growing families and commuters. The launch prices for the development started from £235,000 for early releases, with recent available homes ranging from the mid-£300,000s up to approximately £425,000 for larger detached units.

Property Details The homes at Wool Gardens are modern, low-maintenance properties designed in architectural styles intended to complement the local Somerset environment. Available house types have included the three-bedroom Gosford and the four-bedroom Huxford and Manford. Specific homes such as the four-bedroom detached Manford (approximately 1,368 sq ft) have been marketed with a large garden, while the four-bedroom semi-detached Huxford (approximately 1,156 sq ft) has been offered with solar panels and kitchen upgrades. All properties are built with an emphasis on sustainability, featuring modern, energy-saving systems and appliances to reduce running costs compared to older properties. Potential homebuyers can enquire about specific plots for features like ensuites, garages, and available incentives such as Deposit Contribution offers or Part Exchange schemes.

Location Benefits Wool Gardens benefits from a position that combines access to local amenities with proximity to the countryside, including the Bincombe Beeches Nature Reserve, which is approximately one mile away. Crewkerne town centre, offering boutique shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants, is accessible within a 20-minute walk.

For commuters, the development is located near Crewkerne railway station, which offers direct South Western Railway services. The quickest direct services to London Waterloo typically take around 2 hours and 30 minutes, while services to Exeter St David's can take as little as 52 minutes. Immediate road connections are available via the A30 and A356. Public transport is further supported by local bus services, including the Route 96 which connects Yeovil and Chard, and the Route 95 to Taunton. Local education options include St Bartholomew's Church of England First School (0.3 miles) and Misterton Church of England First School (0.6 miles), with a range of primary and secondary schools in the area receiving 'Good' Ofsted ratings.

Practical Information Wool Gardens is currently nearing the completion of its first phase of 110 homes. The wider development of 635 homes remains a long-term project by Taylor Wimpey, which has committed to significant infrastructure contributions, including the planned Crewkerne Link Road (CLR), and funding for local cycling and highway improvements. There have been noted local concerns regarding interim pedestrian access to the station via the Blacknell Lane Industrial Estate pending the full delivery of the CLR, which the developer is committed to addressing. Specific pricing and availability are constantly changing as the final homes are released; a recent two-bedroom plot was priced at £242,500, with four-bedroom detached homes currently reaching £425,000. All interested parties should contact Taylor Wimpey's sales team for the most current pricing, plot-specific inclusions, and to arrange an appointment for viewing the show homes.
