New Beginnings in the Wiltshire Countryside: Couple Find Dream Home at Barley Fields Great Somerford built by Cotswold Homes

After a long and emotional house-hunting journey, Angelique and Dean are now happily settling into their brand-new three-bedroom detached home at Barley Fields in Great Somerford, a sought-after development by Cotswold Homes. Nestled in the heart of a peaceful Wiltshire village and boasting far-reaching views over open fields, the couple’s new corner plot home marks the start of an exciting new chapter.

Formerly based in the bustling town of Newbury, Angelique and Dean were drawn to Great Somerford for its idyllic village charm, excellent location, and quick access to the motorway—perfectly aligning with their desire for a slower pace of life without sacrificing connectivity.

“There is so much to love about our new home—the look of it, using local stone, the layout, and how light and bright it is inside,” said Angelique. “Having an ensuite for the first time is a game changer—it’s pure luxury.”

The couple also praised the high-specification kitchen, which came fully fitted with integrated appliances. “We love the fitted kitchen – with everything integrated,” Angelique added. “And having a detached garage is so useful for all our stuff—it really helps keep the house organised and clutter-free.”

Energy efficiency played a key role in their decision to buy. The home is fitted with sustainable features including an air source heat pump, underfloor heating and solar PV panels, helping to dramatically reduce energy bills. “Our last heating bill was just £15,” Angelique noted. “We love that our home not only looks beautiful but is built with sustainability in mind.”

Dean, a horticulturist who runs his own business, has already transformed their garden into a calming oasis with thoughtful landscaping. “He’s very creative, and we now have an amazing space to entertain family and friends,” Angelique shared. Dean added, “Cotswold Homes were excellent throughout. They helped us complete and move within six weeks of reservation. We are so happy here.”

Sarah Williams, Sales and Marketing Director at Cotswold Homes, said: “We are delighted to hear another wonderful story from Angelique and Dean about a successful move to one of our stunning new developments. Barley Fields encapsulates everything Cotswold Homes stands for—beautiful homes in beautiful places.”

The Great Somerford development features a collection of three- and four-bedroom detached homes that blend rural charm with modern comforts. Overlooking open farmland, the homes offer a unique lifestyle opportunity: tranquil countryside living with easy access to commuter routes—truly the best of both worlds.
