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.

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.

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!

Site progress at Eastwood Park continues with spine road and much of the cut and fill exercise now complete
It was difficult to visualise when we were looking at a gently sloping green field several months ago, but with fairly extensive groundworks handled by our groundworker, Kore, over the past six months the site has been completely transformed into top and bottom sections which will make for a very interesting site. We don't do boring at Elmsley Homes! Flat sites lack interest. When this development is completed, with the mature trees and woodland surrounding the entire site and the woodland itself surrounded by the mature parkland of the Eastwood Park site, this residential site, which will be known as The Residences @ Eastwood Park, will be simply stunning. Homes we can be very proud of. We can't wait to bring the computer-generated images to life!
