Lovell Homes, a part of the larger Morgan Sindall Group plc, brings a strong track record, including numerous sites that have secured prestigious NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Awards, such as their Bowlers Green development in 2024, demonstrating a commitment to high construction and site management standards. Heathstock Rise will offer a contemporary and stylish selection of 2, 3, and 4 bedroom houses and single-storey bungalows, catering to a range of buyers from first-time homeowners to downsizers. The homes are constructed to high specifications, focusing on both durability and energy efficiency, which is a key practical benefit. New build properties from Lovell are projected to offer annual energy bill savings of up to £979.23 compared to older, less efficient housing stock. Standard features across the properties are set to include modern kitchens fitted with quality appliances, well-appointed bathrooms, and spacious living areas designed for contemporary use. The development is nestled in the heart of Wiveliscombe, providing residents with immediate access to essential local amenities. The town centre, with its quaint shops, traditional pubs, supermarkets, and healthcare facilities, is a short walk from Burges Lane. For families, the area benefits from ‘excellent local schools,’ including highly-rated nearby primary options such as Stawley Primary School. For connectivity, the primary rail link is Taunton Train Station, located approximately 7 miles away, offering direct and regular train services to major cities including Exeter and London. The proximity to Taunton facilitates efficient road links to the wider South West region via the M5 motorway network. The location combines the tranquillity of a traditional Somerset market town with the accessibility required for regional commuting. As of the current date, Heathstock Rise is designated as ‘Coming Soon’ and is scheduled for a 2025 launch.
