Wool Gardens is a new build development by Taylor Wimpey, located on land off Blacknell Lane in the market town of Crewkerne, Somerset (TA18 7HE).

The initial phase consists of 110 high-quality new homes, offering a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom properties designed to appeal to a broad range of buyers, from first-time homeowners to growing families and commuters.
