The new build houses at Strawberry Grange are ideally situated on the outskirts of the historic market town of Bridgwater in Somerset. The surrounding area is a largely rural region boasting swathes of natural scenery, which is perfect if you're looking to improve your quality of life.
Around 30 minutes away by car are the Quantock Hills, which was the first region to be designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in England in 1957. Here you've got access to endless walking and cycling trails through historic countryside, including the famous Coleridge Way. In the other direction are the Somerset Levels, some of the flattest and lowest areas of land in the UK.
From our new housing development, you're just a 10-minute drive away from Bridgwater town centre. Here's a fun fact for you: people have lived here for more than 1,000 years! The town became an affluent centre of commerce and an important hub for maritime trade, shipbuilding and a booming brick and tile industry. The biggest remnant of its history is Bridgwater Carnival, which is Europe's largest illuminated parade and a real treat for residents in November.
Bridgwater offers plenty of local amenities, including various supermarkets, Angel Place Shopping Centre and Bridgwater Retail Park for all your shopping needs. Just a 10-minute walk away from Strawberry Grange is a highly rated pub called The Bower Inn. And there's The McMillan Theatre less than a mile away if you fancy taking in a show.
With so much going on in and around this historic Somerset town, our new homes for sale in Bridgwater could be somewhere you and your family could call home long into the future.
