Cotswold Homes Breaks Ground With the Help of Local School Pupils at Orchard Mill Development in Rangeworthy

Cotswold Homes has officially broken ground at Orchard Mill, an exclusive new community of just 15 three and four-bedroom homes in the village of Rangeworthy in South Gloucestershire.

To mark the start of construction, two pupils and their teacher from Rangeworthy Primary School joined the Cotswold Homes team on-site to take part in a special groundbreaking ceremony, celebrating this exciting milestone for the development and the local community.

Rangeworthy offers the perfect combination of countryside living, with open farmland views, a welcoming pub, a primary school, and a community-focused village hall. The village provides a setting where life feels both peaceful and connected.

Designed with modern living in mind, each home at Orchard Mill will combine contemporary style with timeless appeal. Featuring sleek open-plan layouts and high-quality finishes throughout, the homes are being built to create an elevated living experience. Every detail — from energy-efficient specifications such as underfloor heating, solar PV and ground source heat pumps to premium appliances — has been carefully considered to balance comfort, sustainability, and elegance.

Sarah Williams, Sales and Marketing Director at Cotswold Homes, commented: “We are delighted to be underway at Orchard Mill and would like to thank the pupils from the local primary school for helping us mark the start of construction. This is an important moment for us, and we are excited to bring a thoughtfully designed new community to Rangeworthy.”

Teacher Alex Bryant added: “It was a wonderful opportunity for our pupils to be part of such an important moment in the village. Experiences like this help bring learning to life and allow children to feel connected to their local community.”

For homebuyers, living in Rangeworthy represents the very best of both worlds: a peaceful retreat surrounded by fields and fresh air, yet close enough to major towns and employment hubs to make daily life simple.

Cotswold Homes has a long track record of building beautiful new communities with elegantly designed homes in sought-after locations across the Cotswolds, South Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire.

A show home at Orchard Mill is expected to launch in September, offering prospective buyers the opportunity to experience the quality and design of these homes firsthand.
