Barnwood-based Newland Homes has announced the opening of a new show home within the county.

Sited at Newark Meadows in Hempsted, the 'Dodington' is a five-bed detached show home - taking its name from the South Gloucestershire village.

It is an imposing double-fronted residence, with spacious kitchen and breakfast room complete with feature island, leading on to a sun room. Upstairs the master bedroom boasts twin built in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room.

Newark Meadows is a collection of 44 three, four and five-bedroom homes. Surrounded by open meadow land, with superb views beyond, the homes are just 1.5 miles away from Gloucester with all the city's conveniences.

Also, within the development is the 'Sherston' show home. This detached home has a well-proportioned lounge and open plan kitchen/dining room, which leads on to a light and airy sun room with large bi-fold doors. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and one single, with ensuite and built-in wardrobes to the master.

All properties at Newark Meadows have a garage and driveway parking.

Gail Remnant, associate sales director for Newland Homes, said: "Newark Meadows is a hidden gem of a location as it offers the best of village living with city conveniences. The nearby schools are excellent and our two show homes give a real feel for family living.

"We have a further four-bedroom 'Fernham' show home opening at the beginning of October, providing visitors with a broad spectrum of everything we have to offer on-site."

Newark Meadows is located on Honeythorn Close, off Hempsted Lane, Hempsted, Gloucester GL2 5LU.
