Swindon’s highly anticipated Wichelstowe development is entering its next phase, as two, three, and four-bedroom homes are now available at Orchards View.
With prices starting at £299,995, this expansion marks an exciting milestone for the community. Furthermore, the release of one and two-bedroom apartments is expected later this summer.
Set on a 250-hectare site on the southern edge of Swindon, Wichelstowe will boast vast open spaces, nature conservation areas, playing pitches, and allotments.
Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes are spearheading the construction of Wichelstowe in collaboration with Swindon Borough Council. Over the next two decades, this ambitious project aims to deliver 3,000 new homes, along with schools and community facilities.
Recent reports indicate a growing trend of buyers relocating from major cities to areas like Swindon in search of better value for their money. The town has garnered significant interest, with 30% of property searches outside London specifically targeting Swindon (source: Zoopla).
Andrea Pilgrim, sales director for Barratt Homes Bristol, expressed enthusiasm for the ongoing development: “This next phase of properties at Orchards View will continue to contribute significantly to the potential of Wichelstowe as a new and vibrant destination. It has quickly established itself as one of the most desirable postcodes in Swindon, offering energy-efficient homes that are well connected to local amenities yet in easy reach of open space and all the benefits that brings.”
Within the broader Wichelstowe scheme, residents will enjoy brand-new play areas, allotments, and an orchard. Proximity to a Waitrose supermarket, new schools, and the Hall & Woodhouse Bar and Restaurant further enhances the convenience and appeal of the location.
As part of this thriving neighbourhood, residents will have access to 12km of new nature trails, captivating play areas, 200 acres of open space, and scenic walks along the Wilts and Berks canal. Additionally, an array of schools catering to children of all ages are within easy reach. Junction 16 of the M4 and Swindon train station are just a ten-minute drive away, providing effortless connectivity to Bristol and London.
