Swindon families step back in time with Taylor Wimpey

Taylor Wimpey opened its doors to the public and celebrated the opening of its new 1887 development in Swindon with a Victorian themed party.

The developer cut the ribbon to its new development and celebrated in style with a Victorian tea party. Families enjoyed cream tea, while children were entertained by professional stilt walkers and jugglers.

Jon Fletcher, regional managing director said “The event was a huge success. The weather stayed dry and we had a great turn out. This event gave visitors the opportunity to look at our stunning new Helena show home and see for themselves the quality of our homes.

“Our 1887 development was built on the grounds of an old Victorian hospital. The properties here have been designed to sympathise with the heritage of the site, and we have a number of houses unique to the development meaning we’re creating something with real character.”

The development is home to the unique three bedroom, Helena show property. This stunning property contains a large open plan kitchen/diner and a spacious living room that features a large bay window. Upstairs there is a master bedroom with a bay window and a large en suite with a double shower. There are two further good size bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The development has a range of properties including a two bedroom coach house, and two bedroom bungalows.

Situated between Taylor Wimpey’s existing developments Goddard Mews and Royal Mead, 1887 is ideally located for a cosmopolitan lifestyle with a choice of wine bars, restaurants and street cafes just a short walk away. Good local schools are close by and private schooling can be found in nearby Marlborough. Swindon is ideally located for commuting into London and other UK towns either by rail or road.
