Badgers for neighbours at Orchard Leaze

Wildlife enthusiasts will love living at Barratt’s Orchard Leaze development on the outskirts of Stroud, where badgers are close neighbours. “This site enjoys a semi-rural location and there is a badger protected zone at one end of the development,” reports Andrea Pilgrim, Barratt sales manager.

“Stroud Valley boasts one of the richest wildlife areas in the Cotswolds and badgers have always been a fixture here. They are shy creatures but one or two have already been spotted on site.

“In fact, Orchard Leaze enjoys an ideal location as it is surrounded by beautiful countryside but lies close to the local college and cricket club and a supermarket,” Andrea continued.

“The market town of Stroud is noted for its steep streets and cafe culture and boasts a wealth of shops, a cinema, leisure centre and museum.

“If you want a taste of the city lights, the M5 motorway is just six miles away, providing easy access north to Gloucester and Cheltenham and south to Bristol and Bath.”

When complete, Orchard Leaze will offer a selection of one and two-bedroom apartments and three and four-bedroom houses. Prices range from £159,995 to £299,995.

The development is well located for commuters. Stroud train station is just 10 minutes away, providing local services and links to major cities like London, Bristol and Birmingham.
