A flagship housing development in Swindon has reached a new milestone following the launch of a new phase of homes.
The Orchards, which will include David Wilson Homes’ Orchards Rise and Barratt Homes’ Orchards View developments signals a new chapter at the Wichelstowe development.
The Wichelstowe development is being built by Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes in partnership with Swindon Borough Council which will deliver 3,000 new homes over the next 20 years, along with new schools and community facilities.
Louise Ware, sales director for Barratt David Wilson Homes South West, said: “The launch of Orchards Rise will come as welcome news to house hunters who are in need of high quality, energy efficient housing.
“The range of properties available, which includes a mix of contemporary and traditional-style homes, will help encourage a balanced, mixed community at the development and I’m confident it will emulate the success we previously experienced at Canalside.
“We’re extremely proud of the work we’re doing at Wichelstowe and it’s great to see the community developing just as we hoped it would.”
Wichelstowe project director, Daniel Pavely, added: “We’ve already started to see the emergence of a brand new, cohesive new community here in Wichelstowe and it’s exciting to see our vision truly coming to life. +”The launch of Orchards Rise at The Orchards marks another important milestone for the development and we look forward to welcoming our new neighbours to this stand-out new community and one of Swindon’s most significant new addresses.”
The 250-hectare site on the southern edge of Swindon will include extensive open spaces, nature conservation areas, playing pitches and allotments.
