Tilia Homes marks the start of construction at new Templecombe development

Tilia Homes has started construction work at its new Knights Meadow development in the village of Templecombe.

Tilia Homes was granted approval by South Somerset District Council in September to build an attractive scheme of three- and four-bedroom private homes, as well as 35% affordable units for affordable rent and shared equity tenures, in a mix of one and two bedroom apartments, and two and three bedroom houses. The mix of homes will appeal to a wide range of purchasers, including first-time buyers, families, and downsizers, and responds to local housing need.

Tilia Homes marked this construction milestone with a ground-breaking ceremony, attended by the housebuilder’s sales and marketing director, Emma Cotterill, area sales manager, Samantha Lillington, and project manager, Jack Davis.

Once complete, Knights Meadow will comprise of 70 homes, which will be accessed off the A357, and will feature a mature tree-lined border to the rear with areas of green space and a large pond. The scheme will also deliver a 0.5 hectare extension to the Abbas and Templecombe CE Primary School playing field, as well as a play area and youth shelter.

Emma Cotterill, sales and marketing director at Tilia Homes Western, said: “The ground breaking ceremony marks a major milestone for our Knights Meadow development and signals the start of a new chapter for this site.

“Templecombe is a prime location within Somerset, not only for its countryside surroundings, but also ease of access to nearby cities including Exeter, Bristol and London. We’re looking forward to the official launch of the development and showhome this summer and welcome any interested purchasers to register their interest in the homes here.”
