Cromwell Place at Wixams by Taylor Wimpey · Orchid Way, Wixams, Bedfordshire MK42 6GU

Cromwell Place at Wixams is a new build homes development by Taylor Wimpey, situated in the growing Wixams community of Bedfordshire (MK42 6GU). The development is part of the long-term masterplan for Wixams, which aims to create an integrated community and garden village south of Bedford. Currently in its second phase, Cromwell Place offers a diverse portfolio of properties, ranging from contemporary apartments to two, three, four, and five-bedroom houses.

Development Overview The development provides a variety of new build homes for first-time buyers, families, and commuters. Current available properties at Cromwell Place include two-bedroom semi-detached homes, with prices starting from approximately £325,000 to £350,000 for house types such as 'The Beaford'. Three-bedroom semi-detached homes, like 'The Eynsford', are available from around £375,000, while three-bedroom detached homes, such as 'The Aynesdale', are listed from approximately £417,500. Larger four-bedroom detached houses, including 'The Shilford' and 'The Warkford' styles, are generally priced in the range of £525,000 to £535,000. Property Details Taylor Wimpey has designed the homes at Cromwell Place with modern energy efficiency in mind. A significant standard feature across the new build properties is the inclusion of triple glazing, PV solar panels, and dedicated EV chargers, providing long-term benefits for energy consumption and environmental impact. Specific layouts, such as the four-bedroom ‘The Warkford’ house, incorporate features like a dedicated ground floor study space for home working, a linked kitchen-diner, and a generous lounge with garden access, complemented by a garage and driveway. Location Benefits Cromwell Place is strategically positioned for commuters, located centrally between the A1 and M1 major road corridors. For rail travel, the development is approximately four miles from Bedford's main line station, which offers direct services to London St Pancras with a journey time of around 45 minutes. Furthermore, the Wixams area is set to benefit significantly from the construction of the new Wixams Station on the Midland Main Line, which began work in late 2024. This upcoming station is planned to be served by up to four Thameslink trains per hour, with anticipated service commencement in the second half of 2026. Local amenities are rapidly developing, with the new Wixams town centre eventually providing a mix of retail, leisure, office, and community facilities. The development is highly convenient for families, situated immediately across from the new Willow Grove Primary School, and is less than 0.3 miles from Lakeview School and Wixams Tree Primary School. Practical Information Taylor Wimpey, the developer, holds the Home Builders Federation (HBF) 5-Star rating for customer satisfaction, indicating that over 90% of their customers would recommend them. As Cromwell Place is an established community in its second phase, a number of residents have already moved in. The current availability ranges from two to four bedrooms, with a price range for available homes between approximately £325,000 and £535,000.
