Ridgeway Park

Development Overview

Ridgeway Park is a new build development by Bellway Homes, a major UK housebuilder and FTSE 250 constituent which has been consistently awarded 5-star builder status by the Home Builders Federation (HBF). Located off Marlborough Road in the village of Wroughton, Swindon, Wiltshire (SN4 0RX), the development is planned to feature 103 new homes in total. This includes 72 properties designated for private sale, with the remaining 31 allocated for affordable housing, encompassing shared ownership and rental options.

The properties available for private purchase consist of a selection of three and four-bedroom detached houses, all part of Bellway’s flagship ‘Artisan Collection’. Pricing for the development has been available with properties starting from £377,500. For instance, a three-bedroom detached house, 'The Mason', has been listed for sale at approximately £382,995, while some four-bedroom resales have been advertised at up to £650,000.

Property Details

The private sale properties are exclusively detached house types, offering buyers a choice of three or four bedrooms. Key house styles include the four-bedroom 'The Philosopher' and the three-bedroom 'The Fuller', with showhomes of both types available for viewing. 'The Philosopher' layout is notable for its large open-plan kitchen/family/dining area, a separate lounge, and a dedicated ground-floor study, suitable for home working. The 'Artisan Collection' homes are designed to include spacious parking areas and private rear gardens. Specific features found in house types like 'The Mason' include an en-suite to Bedroom 1, a utility room, a dual-aspect lounge, and Roca sanitaryware in the bathrooms. All new build homes come with a 10-Year NHBC Warranty.

Location Benefits

Ridgeway Park is located within the sought-after Wroughton village, which offers a local community atmosphere with a range of shops, cafes, and restaurants. The site provides 1.5 acres of public open space, including a children's play area. For education, the area is well-served by schools, with Wroughton Infant School situated half a mile from the development and Wroughton Junior School also located in the village, offering a continuous educational pathway. Wroughton Infant School is currently scheduled for redevelopment or refurbishment under the government's School Rebuilding Programme.

Transport links are strong for both local and national commuters. The development offers excellent access to major road networks, including Junctions 15 and 16 of the M4 Motorway. Swindon town centre is approximately a 15-minute drive away. Frequent public transport is available, with the Stagecoach Line 49 bus providing a direct connection to Swindon (Fleming Way/Regent Circus) in around 15 to 20 minutes, running approximately every 30 minutes. Swindon train station is the regional rail hub, with the fastest direct services to London Paddington taking as little as 47 minutes, and direct services to Bristol Temple Meads taking 30-35 minutes, making the location practical for commuters to the South East and South West.
