Twill Meadow

Development Overview

Twill Meadow is a new residential development by Taylor Wimpey, located on land off Lancing Road in the established village of Bulkington, Warwickshire (CV12 9LA). The proposal outlines a total of 230 new build homes on the 25-acre site, designed to complement the existing properties on Bramcote Close, Lancing Road, and Nuneaton Road. The scheme’s reserved matters application, covering details such as layout and landscaping, has been submitted following outline planning approval in October 2023. Taylor Wimpey, a 5-star builder as rated by the Home Builders Federation for customer satisfaction, is managing the development, which is currently described as 'coming soon.'

Property Details

Twill Meadow will offer a diverse mix of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom properties, catering to first-time buyers, growing families, and downsizers. The mix includes two- and two-and-a-half-storey houses in detached, semi-detached, and terraced designs, alongside two blocks of three-storey apartments. Specific house type names and internal floorplans are to be confirmed upon the official sales launch. A key feature of the development is the inclusion of a Locally Equipped Area of Play (LEAP) for young residents. Additionally, the design incorporates a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) with three attenuation basins, a landscaped buffer around the perimeter, and a focus on achieving a Biodiversity Net Gain for the site. Twenty-five per cent of the homes are designated as affordable housing, including both affordable rented and First Homes.

Location Benefits

Situated in the vibrant village of Bulkington, Twill Meadow benefits from established local amenities and excellent connectivity. Road links are highly favourable, with the site’s prime location near the M69 and M6 motorways providing direct and efficient access to major regional centres like Coventry and Leicester. The site will have two vehicular access points: one off Nuneaton Road (B4112) and a secondary entrance off Bramcote Close. For public transport users, the Arriva Midlands Line 74 bus runs directly from Coventry’s Pool Meadow Bus Station to a stop on Winterton Road in Bulkington, with an approximate journey time of 49 minutes.

Local services are concentrated within Bulkington Village Centre, which includes The Village Cafe, the historic The Old Chequers Inn, and the Stone & Ivy Restaurant located within the Weston Hall Hotel. Primary education is available at St James' CofE Academy on Barbridge Road. As part of the planning agreement (Section 106 contributions), Taylor Wimpey has committed over £3.2 million to local infrastructure, including over £800,000 allocated to local schools and over £100,000 earmarked for the Bulkington Village Centre.

Practical Information

The development is in the pre-sales phase, with the Reserved Matters application proceeding through the planning process. Official pricing, specific floorplans, and release dates for the private market homes are to be confirmed and will be available directly from Taylor Wimpey West Midlands. Prospective homebuyers are advised to register their interest on the developer’s website for the most current information regarding plot releases, house type availability, and viewing arrangements. While Taylor Wimpey is a high-volume national builder with a 5-star customer rating, potential buyers should note that quality consistency can vary, and independent reviews suggest a mixed experience regarding workmanship and aftercare on certain developments.
