Read more about The Old Nursery
Featuring 3, 4 and 5 bedroom detached homes, and offering the flexibility many households need, whether that’s space to work from home, room for family life, or simply somewhere to relax. Designed to reflect the character of the area, the homes use familiar materials and simple details that feel right from the start.
At the entrance of the development is a shared orchard, carefully enhanced to create a place for everyone to enjoy and feel part of a growing community.
Care has been taken to protect the existing landscape, with mature hedgerows and trees retained and new planting added to support wildlife. Walking routes connect you through the development and beyond, and every home includes an electric vehicle charger as standard.
A move to The Old Nursery is one that brings more space, more balance, and a setting that works for everyday life.
A big step, but one that feels right for what comes next.
How many of each are within 1.6 km, and the walk to the nearest.
