Construction at Orchards Rise is being overseen by site manager Clyde Cocking, a two-time NHBC Pride in the Job Award winner, which gives buyers assurance that homes are built to the highest quality standards. 

House hunters can explore these award winning homes via a new flythrough which allows them to visualise how the development will look once complete.

“Orchards Rise has been a consistently strong selling site since its launch in 2022,” said Louise Ware, sales director for David Wilson Redrow South West. 

“With selected homes now for sale – with more to follow in the coming weeks – we expect them to sell quickly. Registering for updates on our website is the best way to stay ahead of the demand.”
