The development offers a selection of two, three, and four-bedroom freehold new build homes, catering to both first-time buyers and growing families.

Persimmon Homes, a high-volume national housebuilder founded in 1972, holds a 5-star builder status from the Home Builder's Federation (HBF), based on over nine out of ten customers stating they would recommend the company. It is noted, however, that while the company aims for high-quality service, prospective buyers should consult local community groups regarding the build quality and aftercare experience specific to the Weavers Place development.
