As part of a wider 126-hectare garden village development, Crest Nicholson has secured 42.6 acres of land to deliver 453 high quality new homes to the area. Phase one and two will consist of 152 and 64 new houses respectively, with one to five bedroom homes and a variety of house types available to suit a range of purchasers, from first time buyers to those looking to upsize. Work is due to start this year, with the entire development anticipated to be complete by 2029.

Set within a picturesque countryside location, Rowden Gate garden village will offer footpaths and cycle paths in and around the site, providing access into Chippenham town centre in under 20 minutes and connectivity with the surrounding countryside, offering residents the best of both worlds. A brand new riverside park will also be developed, stretching from Rowden Gate into the heart of town, and providing public access to the River Avon. Once complete, the masterplan will include a village centre, food retailer, primary school and three play areas. There will also be enhancements to the local bus service, which will travel through the tree-lined streets of the development.
Bradley Stone, Head of Land & Planning at Crest Nicholson South West, comments: "The acquisition of this site in Chippenham is a great opportunity for Crest Nicholson to expand its portfolio of homes in the South West of the country. We’re pleased to be responding to local demand for much needed high quality homes in the area, providing a range of house types and sizes for a variety of buyers, alongside green space and other community facilities including a primary school."
