Wates Developments, in joint venture partnership with Bovis Homes, has launched its exclusive Woodlands development in Barrow Gurney, North Somerset

Situated in a picturesque setting surrounded by mature trees the development will feature 66 high quality homes off Hospital Road, just six miles from Bristol city centre. It will also provide a play park, public open space, an attenuation basin, bat houses and improved woodland.

Sales and marketing director, Sue Scholfield commented: "We had a brilliant launch event for homebuyers where we unveiled a new visitor centre and a gorgeous four-bedroom Ashton show home, complete with a hand-painted mural inspired by Bristol Zoo! We’ve had a great response with high levels of interest and visitors already and we’ve sold four homes in the last two weeks.


"Woodlands features an impressive collection of three, four and five bedroom detached properties, showcasing bi-fold doors leading out to the garden, double garages and cutting-edge technology. We are very proud of the homes we are creating and look forward to welcoming new residents this summer."

Susan Whiting, Residential Investment Manager for Wates Developments Group, said: "Set in serene surroundings, Woodlands is an exclusive development of exquisite homes, which are finished to the highest of standards. Just a few miles from Bristol a city that is frequently named as one of the best places to live the development is now open and selling, with detached homes with fantastic woodland views, garage and parking spaces ready for completion this summer."

The development is also supporting the local community by contributing £1.54 million towards: education, library services, affordable housing, transport, plus sport and leisure facilities including contributions towards Barrow Gurney village hall, Long Ashton community centre, Long Ashton playing pitches and changing rooms.
