Reach a new level of perfection with<br />
Redrow’s Severn Heights development<br />
Situated just a stone’s throw away from Lydney town centre, Redrow’s Severn Heights development<br />
offers the best of both worlds for work and leisure, with convenient transport links and the ancient woodlands<br />
of the Forest of Dean nearby.<br />
Severn Heights boasts a selection of three and fourbedroom<br />
family homes handpicked from Redrow’s<br />
popular Heritage Collection. All of the properties<br />
offer future residents the perfect blend of classic<br />
architecture and modern, family friendly interiors.<br />
With the picturesque city of Gloucester just a short<br />
drive away, Severn Heights benefits from the charm<br />
of village life with all the convenience of a number of<br />
cities within easy reach. Gloucester is well-known for its<br />
range of quirky independent shops and has four distinct<br />
shopping quarters to choose from.<br />
Residents will also find a wide variety of local<br />
amenities around Lydney High Street and will be spoilt<br />
for choice when it comes to finding fantastic cuisine<br />
right on their doorstep. For leisure facilities, the town<br />
has its own golf club, along with an excellent choice of<br />
pitches and courts, a new gym and swimming pool.<br />
The development is ideally located for commuters<br />
and has exceptional road links to Gloucester and the M4<br />
motorway for those working further afield. Chepstow is<br />
located just 9 miles from the development and Bristol<br />
around 27 miles. For those who love the great outdoors<br />
the Forest of Dean is just 8 miles away and for flights, Cardiff<br />
and Bristol Airport can be reached in under an hour.<br />
Severn Heights sits within the catchment area of<br />
several highly respected primary and secondary schools,<br />
meaning children won’t have to travel far to access good<br />
quality education. For younger children, there’s a choice<br />
between Severnbanks Primary School and Lydney CofE<br />
Primary and older pupils will find The Dean Academy an<br />
excellent school for preparing them for higher education.<br />
Kate Lacey, Area Sales Manager of Redrow Homes<br />
South Wales, said: “We’re very excited to be offering<br />
so many family homes in such a beautiful location.<br />
This development is proving incredibly popular with<br />
house hunters and with the Forest of Dean right on<br />
its doorstep and multiple cities just beyond, it is in<br />
a perfect position for families to enjoy the naturally<br />
beautiful countryside whilst remaining close to the<br />
hustle and bustle of urban life.”<br />
“We have now sold all of the homes on the first<br />
phase of the development and have launched the second<br />
phase, so encourage anyone who is interested to get in<br />
touch as soon as possible.”<br />
The Sales Office at Severn Heights is open Tuesday-<br />
Sunday, 10am-5.30pm and Mondays, 11am-5.30pm.<br />
