1 East Gate nearing practical completion

1 East Gate is almost there. It's taken quite a while for a variety of reasons, but we couldn't be happier with the end result. Photo is the original computer-generated image (CGI). Actual photos coming over the next few days once the landscaping is completed.

The Lodge is just a few months away from being completed

Original computer generated image (CGI) of the Lodge. Not long to go now....and Phase 1 will be complete. We expect to start on Phase 2 (the remaining 8 houses), on 1 August.

Plot 18 - COMPLETE!

I've been a bit quiet on here recently as it's been very busy. Good busy! Plot 18 (one of only 4 Cedar house types at The Residences), is finally complete and ready for occupation. 2 of the 4 Cedars (Ploys 12 and 17), have already sold with the buyers of Plot 12 moving in in just a few weeks. Plot 18 has become our new show home as Plot 20 has also sold with the new homeowners also moving in just 2 weeks!

9 June 2026

View of Plots 18, 19 and 20 - all now complete!

Plot 20 (our former show home, sold) in the foreground, Plot 19 and Plot 18 (our new show home), in the background. 3 different house types, each with their own unique qualities but all homes we would be proud to call our own.

9 June 2026

Plot 20 - complete and with the new owners moving in on 26 June

N.B. Car not included in the sale!

Entrance sign with The Residences logo carved in limestone

Thanks to Farmington Masonry for hand-carving this fantastic sign for the entrance to the development. Amazing craftsmanship. Just waiting on the light now.

9 June 2026

Plot 19's garden - huge!

Almost every single plot at The Residences has a large garden and terrace, but some are ridiculously large. Suitable for families with kids who love playing football or for families who rear sheep!

9 June 2026

View of Plot 19 in the foreground and 18 in the background

Both gardens and terraces looking great.; We just need the hedging to grow now to provide complete privacy to these two plots.

9 June 2026

Plot 19's rear garden

Quite proud of my planting if I do say so myself....

9 June 2026

Plot 19 terrace - just needs some seating and a BBQ and a few G&Ts

What's not to love about this huge terrace in one corner of Plot 19's rear garden?

9 June 2026

Plot 20's rear garden

This was the first garden to go in, back in November just in time for the show home launch. Plot 20 exchanged a week or so ago and completes on 26 June so this is probably the last photo of Plot 20's rear garden before the new owners move in and put their own stamp on their new home.

9 June 2026

View from Plot 20's drive across to Plot 19 with Plot 8 making progress in the distance

It's getting easier all the time to envisage how the development is going to look when Phase 1 is completed in a few months' time. The turf has taken well and the planting is starting to mature. We could not be more proud of what we are creating here. Each house is very special.

9 June 2026

Photo of Plot 17 build progress - taken by the Plot 17 buyers

Plot 17 (one of our Cedar house types), is really coming along now. Construction of Plot 17 had to be delayed for quite some time as we had substantially more subsoil to remove from the site than we anticipated and we had to store it for a while on Plot 17, but we are really progressing now. Exchange on this plot due imminently. The buyers are a lovely couple who are very excited about their new home and we can't wait to see how their plans for the rear garden unfold.

9 June 2026

Final upload for today - Plots 18 (left) and 19 (right)

Cedar (Plot 18) and Willow (Plot 19) house types. With Star Legal in Thornbury having acted for all of the buyers so far, the conveyancing process is very quick. There's not much for them to do. They know the site very well now. So, if you like Plot 18 (our new show home) or Plot 19 (the only two houses which are now complete and ready for occupation), get in touch! You can be in by mid-July if you act fast.

9 June 2026

Bottom of the site adjacent to the woodland

View from the bottom corner of the garden of Plot 12 down towards Plot 15 in the distance. These houses all have stupidly large gardens. Plots 13 and 14 are also the two largest houses on the development with 6 bedrooms or 4 bedrooms and a study and a snug. The options are endless.

9 June 2026

Plot 12's stupidly large garden with two tier terraces

The owners of this house, who move in in just a few weeks, are going to have their work cut out looking after this football pitch of a garden! The concrete slabs have been laid for their hot tub and pergola, as well as their garden home office. I'm very keen to see what all of the new owners do with their gardens.

1 East Gate at The Old Quarries - Front Door In!

Front door in in a nice Cotswold Pebble Grey colour. There's still a porch to go around it, but we're getting there

9 June 2026

Very long (and expensive) Cotswold stone wall dividing 2 East Gate from the Gallery

The quality of the materials used on this site is second to none. No cheap reconstituted stone here, as you'd expect being HRH Princess Anne's nearest neighbours...

9 June 2026

Shaker style kitchen being installed in 2 East Gate

Look at those windows!

9 June 2026

Coming Soon - The Gallery

This is the gallery that the 1st Viscount Lee of Fareham, co-founder of he Courtauld Institute of Art in London and a prominent British politician and philanthropist who donated Chequers to the nation, had built in the 1930s to securely store irreplaceable masterpieces from the National and Tate Galleries provide ahead of the onset of WWII. Viscount Lee lived at The Old Quarries after retiring from public life. He was a major benefactor to Avening, famously donating the village recreation ground. The Gallery is being restored and will be available as one of 8 houses in Phase 2. It will be a huge house with very high ceilings throughout the ground floor with floor to ceiling windows and doors leading on to its private garden.

9 June 2026

Rear view of 1 East Gate

Landscaping will be completed soon which will completely transform the rear of 1 East Gate. Just a few weeks from completion.

9 June 2026

Rear view of 1 East Gate

Not quite finished, but very happy with the bespoke French windows at 1 East Gate, as well as the stone work

9 June 2026

The Lodge

The Lodge looking a bit sorry for itself after its roof was destroyed in a fire on Mother's Day. Construction has been delayed while we commission engineering reports and liaise with the Conservation Office to determine next steps. A bit of a setback, but the Lodge is going to be incredible when it is completed in a few months' time. We have a lot of interest in the Lodge. We are confident that this will sell quickly once we can get those interested inside to look around.

9 June 2026

The trees at The Old Quarries really are exceptionally good

This is a very old Copper Beech at the top of the long drive from High Street - the last thing you see on the right before the Grade II listed manor house comes into view

3 April 2026

Rear garden view of Plot 19

Plot 19 (our only Willow house type in Phase 1) is looking great in the Spring sunshine. It will look even better once the hedge behind the post and rail fencing provides further privacy to its residents. The lawn has taken very well and the patio is looking incredible. You can't see it in the photo, but there's a larger area for more seating towards the end of the terrace wrapping around the end of the house. Our financing bank's monitoring surveyor visited the site yesterday morning to check on progress and was very impressed with this plot - "wow, wow" on entering the rear garden. That's what we like to hear. This house has not yet sold, but it won't be long before it does - and is pretty much ready to now move into in time for the Summer.

3 April 2026

Plot 20 (current show home) getting a markover

Fastidious? Who us? Well, yes, we are! We are very proud of what we are creating at Eastwood Park and the render on Plot 20 (our current show home which has sold nonetheless), has just not been good enough. Whilst the colour was fine, there were just too many shadows which didn't look great. Whilst we wanted it to be redone immediately, we have had to wait for some dry weather to redo it. The guys have therefore been busy over the past few days redoing it. It's slightly lighter then the original colour (but almost identical now to the CGIs in the sales brochure), but we think that it is starting to look very good indeed. Our Plot 20 buyers should be the first to move into the development in four or five weeks and we were keen to ensure that their new home is as perfect as it can be.

3 April 2026

Grade II listed Eastwood Park (adjacent to our development), looks pretty impressive in the Spring sunshine

Just a stone's throw from our development, the neighbouring property is pretty special. The building of Eastwood Park House began in 1820 by the Jenkinson family who first owned Eastwood Park and the surrounding estate. The Country House that you see today was completed in 1865. The house and grounds have seen many owners and uses over its lifetime including as a Home security air raid precautions school during World War II. Eastwood Park has been an exclusive venue delivering weddings and events for over 20 years. With its secluded location with stunning views across the Berkeley Vale, it continues to stand tall as one of Gloucestershire’s premium wedding and events venues. Indeed several couples who have bought one of the Residences were married at Eastwood Park and so have a historic affinity with the estate.

3 April 2026

Western perimeter of the site starting to take shape

Our landscape gardeners have recently planted lots of trees, hedging and shrubs along the western perimeter of the site bordering Plots 18-20. We are in discussions with the Eastwood Park estate at the moment with regard to a pedestrian footpath and low-level bollard lighting along the section which has not yet been landscaped. It should be a nice path to take for a Sunday roast at the country house...

3 April 2026

Bottom of the site has now been levelled off

The quagmire at the bottom of the site is no more! Our groundworkers have done an amazing job flattening the land ready for final contouring, top soil and grass, with lawns down to the woodland. We will install stock-proof fencing to prevent the wildlife (particularly the deer), getting into the gardens.

3 April 2026

Plot 12's hot tub and garden office slabs in - just 12 short weeks or so now before moving in date!

Our Plot 12 buyers asked us to construct a couple of slabs for their hot tub and pergola and home garden office which we have now completed. We now need to complete the rest of their garden for them. Our Plot 12 buyers were the first to reserve a plot, first to exchange and are keen to get in as soon as possible. Unfortunately, restrictions on access due to scaffolding on Plots 8 and 9 means we all have to wait a little longer to complete on this property and allow the buyers to move in safely. But, we are nearly there....

3 April 2026

Long estate drive at The Old Quarries almost complete, ready for Phase 2 to commence

Everyone who visits this site is blown away by how beautiful it is, as you'd expect from a site which is HRH The Princess Royal's nearest neighbour. But Phase 1 has been hampered quite significantly by the narrow access road making construction slow and difficult. But those problems will not repeat themselves with Phase 2, as we have almost completed the long estate drive, adjacent to Gatcombe Park, from the main road to the Grade II listed manor house. Very soon, all of our construction traffic can use this drive and everyone wanting to view a property can drive up it and experience the sense of arrival which traditionally has accompanied every long drive to an impressive country house.

3 April 2026

East Gate houses at The Old Quarries in Avening (near Tetbury), not far off completion now

Just three or four weeks to go until the two East Gate houses are completed. The cedar cladding has just gone on. Just waiting for a few doors and windows to be installed now, as well as the kitchen and bathrooms, and we will be done internally. Landscaping due to start from 21 April when the road will be closed for the installation of the services. Contact Perry Bishop in Tetbury if you're interested in viewing either or both of the houses.

3 April 2026

Plot 12 basking in the sunshine

We can't wait to see this one finally completed with the landscaping done.

Over 30% now sold off plan - with no homes ready to move into yet!!

After an incredible February with three houses sold in the space of a single week, it's fair to say that March was a little quieter. I think we all know who to blame for that! However, the last couple of days have seen us receive quite a few requests for viewings, as well as someone who is interested in a second viewing on a specific plot which has caught their eye. Quite a noticeable pick-up in interest. Maybe it was our social media campaign or our leaflet drop in those areas where most of our buyers seem to be coming from??! We are now at 30% of the units sold off plan - which is incredible and far exceeds our expectations. We were told not to expect any off plan sales. We expect to see this percentage increase quite quickly now that we are heading into the sunnier months and now that Phase 1 is edging closer to the end and we can get people down to all parts of the site for viewings. Those visiting the site no longer need to imagine what it is going to look like, but can see with their own eyes the quality of our houses (evidenced by our show home which receives very positive feedback from everyone), and how impressive and unique the site and location are. There is nothing quite like it for many miles around.

24 March 2026

Rear garden of Plot 18 (Cedar house type) starting to look good

Just waiting on the hedge now (and perhaps some garden furniture), and this garden will look even more stunning. Huge area of raised lawn with steps up to it from the massive patio, with expansive flower beds separating the patio and the lawn. The tiered gardens were a fairly late design alteration to ensure that all of our residents have a flat garden. Without those retaining walls the garden would have been too slopey and fairly unusable.

24 March 2026

Landscaping is making a big difference!

Our landscapers have been in and have started making the plots and the managed land look much prettier. Still a way to go but it's looking much better already.

24 March 2026

View from one corner of the huge rear garden of Plot 17 (sold already I'm afraid!)

Out Plot 17 buyers love their gardening and already have lots of ideas as to what they are going to do with it when they move in in a few months. It may take a while for the plans to come together though as the garden is very big. A lot of progress recently with the build on this plot as this plot and Plot 16 next door play catch up!

24 March 2026

Plot 12's rear garden starting to take shape

Plot 12 has the largest garden on the site and it's taken quite some time to turn what was a quagmire a few months ago into a garden which is starting to look very good indeed. The Plot 12 buyers are installing a hot tub and a home garden office and our team are busy putting in the slabs ready for their delivery.

24 March 2026

Sam busy watering the flower beds and lawn on Plot 19

We are, I think justifiably, proud of our gardens and patios/terraces. They are all very different but add so much to each of the houses and will allow our buyers to enjoy a very nice lifestyle at home. Here's Sam making sure that our flower beds and lawns are getting enough water in the warmer and sunnier weather we have been having recently.

24 March 2026

One of my favourite views on the entire site!

I love this view of Plots 18 and 19 from the bottom of the site. It will look even better once the road and landscaping are finished, and all scaffolding and temporary site furniture removed. But the juxtaposition between the darker cedar cladding on Plot 18 (Cedar) and the white render on Plot 19 (Willow) is fairly stark and I think is what makes it look so good (IMHO!).

6 March 2026

New show home (Plot 18) progressing nicely

We've said before that we don't do small patios/terraces at Elmsley Homes. This one is huge, and that's just the rear!! Another patio either side of the house. This new show home (as the current show home has sold), will be launched on Saturday 21 March. We just need to finish off the landscaping and I need to go and buy some plants for those beds to frame the retaining wall. Hedging and planting along the roadside and turf going in over the next 10 days or so.

6 March 2026

View of the progress on site from the north-east

Looking down on the site from the north-east - lots of houses either complete, near complete or on their way up. A lot of progress made since our last update.

6 March 2026

View from one of the bedrooms of Plot 15 (Beech) southwards along the woodland

When the quagmire that is currently the rear gardens of Plots 12 to 17 is no longer a quagmire and is nicely landscaped and the trees are all in leaf, this view south is going to be stunning - assuming the sunlight isn't blinding (and you can still see after all those G&Ts on the terrace below)!

6 March 2026

I really like our new show home, Plot 18 (Cedar house type)!

Our current show home (Plot 20) has sold and will likely be the house that welcomes the first new residents to the new Residences. We will soon therefore have to move the show home to Plot 18, expected to be around end April when the sale of Plot 20 is expected to complete. If anyone wants to buy Plot 18, can they please buy it soon so we don't have to move the show home again!! Next show home location, if needed, is Plot 8. At least it's downhill with all the furniture and furnishings!!

6 March 2026

Plot 12 hot tub slab - in!! Just waiting on the home garden office and footpath now

The plot 12 buyers are delightful... They were the first to reserve one of the houses well before we had a show home to show them and the first to exchange. They're desperate to get in but need to wait until our access issues at the lower part of the site allow it (we can't have new residents being injured by construction traffic so soon after moving in!). They're so delightful that they even baked a huge multi-tiered birthday cake, complete with tractors and diggers, for our Site Manager's birthday a few weeks ago! Photo of hot tub slab (without hot tub or Plot 12 residents) in first picture. Technology has got the better of me so I can't work out how to crop the birthday cake photo....

25 February 2026

Amazing view in the sun from the rear of the Old Quarries West and East

Wow! Not much to see at the moment other than the view from the rear of Old Quarries West and East following clearance of lots of shrubs and overgrowth, but what a view! I think I can see Richard E. Grant's house on the other side of the village. When the trees are in leaf in another month or so, this view is going to be stunning.

13 February 2026

Plot 16 - absolutely stunning natural stone surrounded by woodland

Plot 16, one of our Cedar house types, has a substantial amount of natural stone on its Western façade, facing into the rear garden and the woodland.

13 February 2026

G&T on the terrace anyone?

View from one end of Plot 15's elevated terrace along the edge of the woodland towards Plot 12 in the distance. Can't wait to see the landscaping at the rear of Plots 11 to 17. Due to the topography of the land, the terraces are all elevated and look down on to the rear gardens and woodland. Plenty of space and different locations within the plot to capture the sun (or enjoy a G&T!) at all times of the day.

13 February 2026

Plots 18 and 19, sitting alongside the show home (Plot 20), taking shape nicely

On 21 March we are going to hold another open house with potential buyers able to view 3 completed plots/3 different house types - the Beech, Cedar and Willow. Plot 20 (our current show home, but now sold), Plot 18 (our new show home on completion of the sale of Plot 20), and Plot 19 will all be available for viewings. For those seriously interested we may even be persuaded to allow a walk down the road to the bottom of the site. Although there is a lot of mess in the foreground, you can see how nicely Plots 18 and 19 are coming along.

13 February 2026

Rear garden of the show home (Plot 20) - now sold!

Not the best of weather with all the rain recently, but I'm sure it has helped the turf to take very well and knit together nicely. One thing we hate about most new build developments is the tiny patio you tend to get as standard where you can't even fit a table and chairs on it - not with us. Our patios are not even made from regular paving slabs, but porcelain tiles instead. Yeah, I went over budget, but I think it was worth it. Don't even get me started about that natural stone wall and coping stones. Also over budget, but a great view for everyone arriving at the development and for the Plot 20 buyers every day of the week. Just a couple more months to go before this garden will be able to be enjoyed by its new owners and their new neighbours.

10 February 2026

25% NOW SOLD OFF-PLAN!!!

Hot on the heels of our first sale last week, a further two sales agreed this week!! We only launched the site on 8 November with our show home! We are noticing a big uptick in activity from potential buyers since the start of 2026, with one of our plots at The Residences @ Eastwood Park exchanging a week or so ago and two further sales being agreed this week. All in the depths of Winter! These houses are surrounded by mature parkland and woodland and, whilst the site looks great at all times of the year, it's really beautiful in Spring and Summer.

5 February 2026

Show home (Plot 20) sold!!

When we launched the show home (plot 20) on Saturday 8 November we received very positive feedback from everyone who stepped foot in it. Over many months we had spent a huge amount of time planning every single detail with mood boards for each and every room, and for the landscaping in the front and rear gardens. So, it comes as no surprise to us that our latest buyers have fallen in love with our show home and insisted on buying it. We've reluctantly agreed to part possession with it so early in the marketing process and have agreed to recreate the show home next door at Plot 19. Due to the location of the show home on the site, our show home buyers should be the first people to move in and occupy their new home. Exciting times!!

5 February 2026

Plot 17 starting to take shape - slab in!

Plots 16 and 17 are the final plots in Phase 1 to start taking shape, but lots of progress in the past few weeks. Both "Cedar" house types with a mixture of burnt oak millboard cladding, natural stone and render facades.

5 February 2026

Old Quarries - East Gate Houses 1 and 2 - View from the roof of the Lodge

We can't wait to see the roof tiles completed and the scaffolding taken down. 2 very special houses. Numerous people on site today and everyone loved these houses. Viewings starting tomorrow, 6 February.

5 February 2026

Plot 19 (our only "Willow" house type) - our new Show Home (once the sale of our current show home completes in April)

As our show home (Plot 20) has been sold much earlier in our build process than we had expected, we now need to create a new show home. Plot 19, next door, has been chosen as the new show home, as of April when we expect completion of the sale of Plot 20 to occur. We should have Plots 18 (Cedar house type), 19 (Willow house type) and 20 (Beech house type) available on 21 March for our launch of the top part of our site.

5 February 2026

Plot 18 (Cedar) starting to take shape

This unit is pretty much complete and almost ready to move in for anyone who can't wait to move. Like every house, it has a huge rear garden with a much larger patio than you get with most houses in developments like this one, with very expensive porcelain tiles. I didn't really understand my brief and the budget allocated to me - there's a difference apparently between bog-standard paving slabs and the porcelain tiles I chose! Hey ho, they look great and many people have commented, so I think I chose well. Oh, and don't forget the two tiered landscaped garden - very L.A.! I'll post a photo of the rear garden once it's been landscaped as it looks a bit boggy at the moment.

5 February 2026

Doors and windows on site

We've waited a long time for this moment. Doors and windows for the two East Gate houses at The Old Quarries have arrived on site and will be installed over the next few weeks. Traditional Cotswolds "Pebble Grey" on the exterior and "Signal White" on the interior. Can't wait to see how they look when installed.

2 February 2026

Massive progress in the past 7 months!

It's hard to believe that this was the lower part of the Eastwood Park site just 7 months ago!! Spine road had only just gone in. Look at the surrounding woodland! On this lower part of the site, we now have plots 11, 12 and 13 nearing build completion with the surrounding plots advancing well. And 3 sales already, with only the show home build complete! We are getting there!

2 February 2026

Almost 12 months ago to the day!

What a difference 12 months makes! View from the south-west of the site towards the north-east, with the Eastwood Park clock tower in the distance.

30 January 2026

Traditional diminishing course of Cotswold slate going on to the roof which sits on top of Cotswold stone walls

These East Gate houses will soon be fully unveiled, but you can already see just how stunning they're going to be. No corners cut here or cheap materials used. Only the best for the Old Quarries. Our sales agent, Perry Bishop, expects to start taking those registered as interested in these properties around site towards the end of February. If you haven't already registered your interest in any of the properties you may be interested in, please do so soon.

30 January 2026

Luxury bathrooms in all of our homes at The Residences @ Eastwood Park

No expense spared on the tiles and sanitaryware in our bathrooms at The Residences @ Eastwood Park. We are very happy that the months of hard work designing the bathrooms and sourcing the tiles and sanitaryware have paid off.

22 January 2026

1st Plot (Plot 12) EXCHANGED!!

On Wednesday 21 January we exchanged on our first plot - Plot 12 (one of our five Cedar houses with the burnt cedar cladding on a large part of the front elevation), tucked away in the south-western part of the development. Time for the buyers to start ordering a few robotic lawnmowers as there is a heck of a lot of lawn to mow. Either that or buy a few sheep!!

16 January 2026

East Gate Houses just a couple of months away from completion

We're almost there now. Roof almost complete and windows due in a couple of weeks. We expect these two houses to be build complete in March. Contact Perry Bishop if interested in either house.

16 January 2026

Plot 17 foundations in!

The foundations and retaining walls have gone in now on one of our largest plots, plot 17. Construction on all houses now well underway, with Plot 20 (the show home) build complete. We are almost build complete on Plot 12 (which has been sold with exchange of contracts due on Monday), Plot 18 and Plot 19. Plots 11 and 13 are not far behind.

16 January 2026

View from corner of Plot 17 down towards Plot 12

16 January 2026

Kitchen in our show home (plot 20)

Show home kitchen cabinetry in Cashmere Grey and silestone worktop in Snowy Ibiza. So nice that our Plot 12 buyers have opted for exactly the same in their new home. Of all the other options (carpet, bathroom floor and wall tiles, bathroom vanities etc), they've made only one change to one of the tiles in the master en-suite. Proof, if any is needed, that we nailed the show home. Contact Savills if you're keen to view our show home!

16 January 2026

Dining area in our show home (Plot 20)

How nice is this dining area with its own set of bi-fold doors which open all the way on to the patio/rear garden? All of our houses have two sets of bi-fold doors opening on to patios/rear gardens. All of our the gardens are large, while some are absolutely huge!

16 January 2026

Bedroom 2 in our show home (plot 20) with view of en-suite with rain shower

A great view of the en-suite in Bedroom 2 of our show home (plot 20). The tiles are absolutely stunning.

Plot 16 finally coming out of the ground

It's great to see Plot 16 finally coming out of the ground. This house sits on a large plot with mature woodland to the North and West. The rear garden will back on to the woodland walk.

15 November 2025

Our show home at The Residences @ Eastwood Park is now ready for viewings!

Our show home opened last Saturday, 8 November, and we have been overwhelmed by the interest already shown by prospective buyers. Professional photography and walk-throughs to follow, but here's a sneak peak. Speak to Savills if you would like to arrange a visit to the show home/walk-around the site.

15 November 2025

Plot 18 - The Cedar - Named after the Millboard "Burnt Cedar" cladding which we love!

No two houses at The Residences @ Eastwood Park are the same. They are all different in some way - amount of natural stone, render and/or wooden cladding used, colour of render/chimney, colour of roof tile etc. A personal favourite is The Cedar as we really like the cladding. We have four of this house type on site (plots 12, 16, 17 and 18), one of which (plot 12) has already been sold. Aside from the show home (plot 20), plot 18 will be the first of our houses to complete which we expect to be in January. Get in touch if interested in a viewing of the show home and plot 18. Plot 19 (our only Willow house type) will not be far behind.

Roofs almost complete on the two East Gate houses

Lots of progress on the two East Gate houses with roofs almost complete. The rain is really not helping matters though with lots of viewings postponed due to access issues.

Show Home (Plot 20) edging closer to completion

Sneak peak at the back garden of our show home (plot 20) which is opening on Saturday 8 November. Lots of work going on to ensure that we hit the launch date. Turf being laid next week to the front and back gardens, and all trees, shrubs and flowers will be planted. Lots to do, but we're getting there slowly but surely!

Roof trusses on the gate houses

Stopped by site today to check in on progress. The two gate houses are progressing well. Roof trusses on, and luxury kitchens from Wolfstone Leigh and traditional bathrooms from Burlington have just been ordered. It won't be long now before these two very special gate houses are completed and will be welcoming The Old Quarries' first residents.

View from the terrace of Plot 13 (Cypress) towards Plot 12 (Cedar)

Plots 13 and 14 are our largest homes at a whopping 2,540 square feet over three storeys. There are bifold doors from the kitchen/dining room and the sitting room on to the raised terrace which overlooks the garden and woodland. A perfect for those early evening G&Ts in the Sun!

A reminder of what The Lodge will look like when completed...

As a conversion of a Grade II curtilage listed property, we have had to check almost every detail of the refurbishment of this property with the Conservation Officer at Cotswold District Council which has meant that the refurbishment has not progressed quite as quickly as we would have liked or as quickly as the two new builds (the gate houses) next door, but the wait will certainly be worth it. The Lodge is an impressive building, quite imposing being perched quite high on the site, and will be stunning when completed. The various terraces surrounding the property on three sides offer lots of choices for G&Ts in the Sun - potentially all day long if you move from terrace to terrace!

Roof trusses on 1 East Gate

Things are really moving at the Old Quarries now with the roof trusses on 1 East Gate and about to go on 2 East Gate. Hoping for a Christmas finish on these two houses!

9 October 2025

Plot 18 (Cedar) formally launched on Rightmove! Likely to be ready by Christmas!

Savills have just launched Plot 18 (one of our four Cedar houses) on Rightmove and the other property portals. Keep an eye out - more plots coming soon!

The Residences @ Eastwood Park Show Home - 8 November Launch Date

Just weeks away now from the launch of the show home at The Residences @ Eastwood Park. Saturday 8th November. Contact Savills to arrange your private viewing!

2 October 2025

Sneak Peak at Plot 13 - one of the two largest houses on site with stunning stone façades!

Plots 13 and 14 ("Cypress"), the largest houses on the development built over three floors, are truly stunning, with a mixture of natural stone, "burnt cedar" millboard cladding and render, as well as a double garage, large outdoor terrace and garden backing on to the woodland. Click into the image to see a computer generated image (CGI) of the front of the house. Have a look at the brochure on the Developments page for more CGIs (particularly the one of the rear of Plots 13 and 14), and floorplans.

Outdoor swimming pool addition to several of the plots!

Do we need to go back to Planning to add an outdoor swimming pool to several of our plots?!? After such an amazing Summer, it's been quite the battle in recent weeks with the constant rain to make progress on some of the plots. Lots of water having to be pumped out for work to resume only for it to rain again 10 minutes later. The joys of construction! We'll get there.

Great progress at our Eastwood Park development

It's starting to look pretty special. The show home (plot 20) is not too far off completion now. Underfloor heating is in, all tiling has been completed. The very high-end Spitfire front door has been installed and looks stunning. The render has been applied to the exterior walls. Kitchen is being installed on 9 September, painting starts on 18 September and carpets go in early October. Landscaping design is underway. It won't be long now before we are able to launch the show home which we are very excited about.

M5 Junction 14 Ad

Look out for the huge sign advertising The Residences @ Eastwood Park which will soon be going live on the northbound carriageway of the M5 near junction 14. We don't think you will be able to miss it given how huge it is!

Stunning Cotswold stone walls at our Old Quarries development

We could not be happier with the craftsmanship at our Old Quarries development. The exterior walls of 1 and 2 East Gate are just stunning. We can't wait to see the finished houses in the next few months once the timber cladding and timber windows are installed. We've also just finalised the kitchen design, with beautiful shaker kitchen cabinets and silestone quartz worktops. These are going to be very special houses once completed, standing at the entrance to the development.

View from the rear of Plot 13 towards Plot 12

This will soon be the rear garden of Plot 13 (one of the largest 5/6 bedroom houses on the development at 2,540 square feet), backing on to the woodland walk. A great view of the front of Plot 12 in the distance, the plot with the largest garden on the development.

Underfloor heating installed on Plot 12 of The Residences @ Eastwood Park

Underfloor (app-controlled) heating being installed throughout the ground floor on Plot 12 to keep our homes nice and warm in the Winter.

With consent from our royal neighbour (ahem!), we commissioned some drone footage and photos of our Old Quarries site

Name-drop alert! As our nearest neighbour is HRH The Princess Royal, we sought consent back in May from the Royal Household to take some drone footage and photos of our site and the surrounding area for our sales brochure. Consent was forthcoming, provided we didn't show the house on the Gatcombe estate in any of our materials. So, here are a couple of the aerial photos of the area captured by the drone with computer-generated images of the completed houses superimposed within them. Technology continues to amaze us!
