King George Park: New Eastern Villages, Lotmead, Swindon

Development Overview

King George Park is the first phase of the major Lotmead village development, which itself forms a key part of Swindon’s New Eastern Villages (NEV) expansion project. The site, situated on Wanborough Road, Lotmead, Swindon, Wiltshire (SN4 0SN), is being delivered by Bovis Homes, part of the Vistry Group, in partnership with Sovereign Network Group (SNG) for the affordable housing provision. The initial phase, King George Park, comprises 214 new build homes on a 39-acre parcel of land, with 153 designated for private sale under the Bovis Homes brand. The wider Lotmead scheme is approved for up to 2,500 homes.

Bovis Homes currently holds a 5-star rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), a rating based on customer satisfaction where over 90% of purchasers stated they would recommend the builder to a friend.

Property Details and Pricing

The development features a collection of contemporary 3, 4, and 5-bedroom houses for private sale, alongside 61 affordable homes which include a mix of two, three, four, and five-bedroom houses and eight one-bedroom apartments. Currently available private sale homes include specific house types and starting prices, such as 'The Dunham', a 3-bedroom semi-detached home from £410,000, 'The Kittiwake', a 3-bedroom detached home from £415,000, and larger 4-bedroom detached models like 'The Sandpiper' and 'The Robin', starting from £515,000 and £525,000 respectively.

All new homes are designed with modern, energy-efficient specifications, featuring open-plan layouts, French or bi-fold doors, and integrated energy-saving measures. These features include PV solar panels, Electric Vehicle (EV) charging points, and waste-water heat recovery systems, designed to reduce household running costs.

Location Benefits and Community Infrastructure

King George Park offers residents the balance of Wiltshire countryside living with strong commuter connections. The development provides excellent road links, with easy access to the A419, A420, and the M4 motorway. Swindon Rail Station is a key transport hub, offering fast services that make London, Bath, and Bristol accessible within approximately an hour's journey. The M5 is also accessible within a 45-minute drive.

The Lotmead masterplan is creating a sustainable new neighbourhood built around green spaces, featuring a central tree-lined boulevard, pedestrian and cycle paths, and dedicated children’s play areas. Future community facilities are planned for the wider village, including a local centre, two primary schools, a nursery, sports pitches, and a sports hub/pavilion. The developer is investing approximately £60 million into local services and infrastructure, covering contributions towards education, healthcare, and road improvements.
