Castle Grove is a forthcoming development of premium new build homes by Charles Church, a subsidiary of Persimmon plc, situated in the picturesque hamlet of Monkton Heathfield, Taunton, Somerset (TA2 8GU). The development is positioned to offer a semi-rural lifestyle while maintaining convenient access to Taunton’s town centre. Charles Church holds a 5-star rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), reflecting a recommendation rate of over 90% from its homeowners, though prospective buyers should note the brand’s history of prioritising snag list completion prior to legal sign-off.

Castle Grove is an exclusive collection consisting entirely of substantial four and five-bedroom detached new build homes. The properties are designed with Charles Church’s 'high specification' as standard, appealing to discerning homebuyers and those requiring significant family space. The specification includes a range of quality finishes throughout the home. Buyers also have the option to personalise their residence through the 'Select Options' service, allowing for upgrades and customisation on finishes and fixtures. The site itself is bordered by open space, including woodlands and tranquil walking paths, giving the development a secluded atmosphere. Monkton Heathfield offers a balance of village community and modern convenience. The site is approximately 3.4 miles from Taunton, the county town of Somerset, which provides extensive retail and leisure facilities, including high-street brands at The Orchard shopping centre and a variety of independent retailers.
