George Wimpey launches prestigious development in Stourbridge

Lawnswood Ride is situated on the site of the historic Wordsley Hospital (parts of which are being restored and retained) just to the north of the town centre and in keeping with modern day housing demands, it will offer a complementary mix of property types, but with a design-led approach.

First availability will be made up of eight contemporary townhouses that create a new streetscene of distinction, while future initiatives include split-level two bedroom designer apartments overlooking picturesque public open space!

Ultimately, the new development will comprise 86 new properties also made up of four and five bedroom detached properties and three storey, three bedroom mews and semi detached homes.

Sales manager Anne Wallace explains: “Wordsley is a well-regarded residential area in desirable Stourbridge with a strong local reputation, good amenities and facilities, plus excellent transport links. And Stourbridge itself still retains many of the post medieval market town features that contribute to its unique character, whilst it's bordered by glorious countryside to the south and west.

"Previously, the town enjoyed a rich industrial heritage (it was the heart of the glassmaking industry) and still has an extensive 'old quarter' with well looked after Victorian houses, but also attractive and affluent suburbs.

“With the emphasis on flexible, modern living, our new homes will really add to the appeal and image of their surroundings - and feedback from local estate agents and our own market research reveals a demand and need for such properties in the area.”

The new Lawnswood Ride Sales Centre off Auckland Road is open daily between 10am –5.30pm Mon to Sat and from 11am on Sunday. Prices will start from £249,995.
