Award winning new homes with anticipated release early Spring 2025. Register your interest to be informed of new homes as they become released for sale

St George’s Mead brings the latest collection of award winning new homes in Semington offering 3 and 4 bedroom zero carbon homes and 3 bedroom bungalows. With construction commencing in 2024, we expect the first homes to be released for sale Spring 2025.

Following the successful completion of the first 24 homes here, we’re now constructing zero carbon 3 bedroom semi-detached and detached houses, 3 bedroom detached bungalows plus 4 bedroom detached houses for the open market.

In November 2023 St George’s Mead received one of the best accolades within the house building industry at the WhatHouse? Awards 2023 for Best Sustainable Development.

Semington is a small village in Wiltshire, located to the west of the A350 just south of Melksham. The market towns of Trowbridge, Westbury, Bradford-on-Avon and Devizes are within easy reach, as to are the cities of Bath and Bristol.

What makes our homes zero carbon?

Our zero carbon homes create as much prime energy as they need, thanks to their use of highly efficient air source heat pumps, extensive solar panels providing renewable energy and high levels of insulation. Prime energy is the regulated energy used to provide lighting, heating & hot water in the home. This is assessed by a standard procedure assuming a typical family lifestyle as indicated in the home’s Energy Performance Certificate.

The Village of Semington

There has been a settlement here since at least the 12th Century and parts of the local St George’s Church date back to that time. The church and village hall host a range of social and cultural events, along with the village pub, the Somerset Arms, which sits in a prominent position on the High Street.

The village benefits from a local Primary School, St George’s CofE, but there are at least another dozen alternatives within a few miles while the nearest Secondary is Melksham Oak Community School although there are other good options a few miles in the other direction in Trowbridge.
Historic Wiltshire

Semington is positioned between the World Heritage Sites of the City of Bath (north west) and Stonehenge (south-east) so there is certainly no shortage of history in the region. The quintessential Wiltshire village of Lacock, owned by the National Trust, looks much like it did 200 years ago while iconic carved white horses, dating back 250 years, still dominate the Wiltshire landscape with eight remaining on view today – including the oldest, and perhaps most famous, at Westbury.

Almost half of the county is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there are numerous ways to enjoy the magnificent countryside, from cycling, walking and horse-riding to golf, fishing and trips on the canal. The Kennet and Avon canal actually runs just beyond the edge of the village and affords walks along the towpath (also part of the National Cycle Network) or trips on the water with the impressive Caen Locks just 6 miles east towards Devizes should you wish to tackle some locks – all 29 of them!
Transport Links

Thanks to excellent transport links, Bristol, Bath and Swindon are commutable and Melksham Station (just 8 mins by car) provides a rail service via Chippenham to Bath Spa (from 33 mins) and Bristol Temple Meads (from 47 mins) while services to London Paddington go via Swindon, (less than 90 mins).
