Robin Gardens

Development Overview

Robin Gardens is a new build development by Taylor Wimpey, situated off Lady Lane in North Swindon, Wiltshire (SN25 4DN). The development comprises a collection of 3 and 4-bedroom new build homes. The initial release pricing is available from approximately £325,000 to £490,000 for the currently available plots. The community is being established on the northern edge of Swindon, positioned to offer access to both town amenities and the nearby Cotswolds countryside. Planning permission for the site, which comprises a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom homes, was granted in June 2022.

Property Details

The development features a range of house styles, including terraced, end-terraced, and detached properties. Available homes include the 3-bedroom ‘The Brandywell’ and 4-bedroom house types such as ‘The Owlerton’ and ‘The Thornton’. Specific property features are designed for contemporary living, including open-plan kitchen/dining areas with double doors leading to the rear garden, ground floor cloakrooms, and main bedrooms with private en-suite shower rooms.

For practical utility and long-term running costs, homes are equipped with energy-efficient designs, including PV solar panels and EV charging points. All properties benefit from a 10-year NHBC warranty and a 2-year Taylor Wimpey warranty. Allocated parking is standard, with many plots including two allocated spaces, or a garage for larger house types like ‘The Thornton’. The annual Estate Management Fee for the development is confirmed at £169.20.
