The wraps have come off more details of Cotswold Homes’ plans for its Richmond Grove development of new homes on the site of Mangotsfield’s former Church of England Infant and Junior Primary School on the junction of Richmond Road and St James Street.

The scheme has been designed by Yate-based housebuilder Cotswold Homes to echo the external appearance of the old-established villas in Richmond Road and as a homage to the previous school building at the heart of the South Gloucestershire village north-east of Bristol.

In each home the front door opens on to a spacious ‘wow-factor’ family room the full width of the house. The kitchen-dining suite at the rear features French doors which not only flood the room with natural light but provide easy access to the garden for al fresco dining.

Overlooking the garden is a first-floor master bedroom with French doors opening on to a Juliet balcony. The bedroom features fitted wardrobes and an en suite.

On the same floor, aware of the need to create versatile accommodation which meets the changing needs of a growing family, Cotswold Homes has designed the room at the front of the house so that it could be used either as a spacious lounge or an additional bedroom. On some plots this room also features French doors and a Juliet balcony.

Two more bedrooms occupy the third floor; one of them comes with a fitted wardrobe and a built-in storage space.

Cotswold Homes’ no-hidden-extras policy will play a key role in securing buyers. The scheme means that the purchase price includes the ‘big five’ fully-integrated Smeg appliances – oven, hob with a feature hood, fridge-freezer, washer-drier and integrated dishwasher – as well as contemporary vinyl flooring in some areas.
