Young Couple Move Up the Property Ladder at The Buttercups in Coaley

Rory and Olivia Stimpson are taking the next step on the property ladder after exchanging contracts on a new three-bedroom semi-detached home at The Buttercups in Coaley by Cotswold Homes.

The couple are moving from an older three-bedroom mid-terrace property into their new £420,000 home at The Buttercups — an exclusive development of just 17 elegant three and four-bedroom homes nestled in the sought-after Gloucestershire village.

Rory, a mortgage advisor, explained how their homebuying journey took an unexpected turn before discovering The Buttercups.

“We were looking for our next move up and initially reserved a period house, but a disastrous survey showed it needed so much work we pulled out,” he said.

“We found Cotswold Homes’ development in Coaley which is perfect for us and has everything we want in a village — community, a great pub, shop, parks, and a great school that we might need one day. Cotswold Homes has a good reputation for quality-built homes and is well established in the area.”

Olivia, who manages a NHS GP surgery locally, added: “Watching our house being built is very exciting. We can’t wait to move in during the summer. The sales team at Cotswold Homes have been very professional and communicated with us throughout.”

Designed with modern living in mind, each home at The Buttercups combines contemporary style with timeless appeal. Featuring sleek open-plan layouts and high-quality finishes throughout, the homes are designed 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, said: “There has been significant demand for new homes in Coaley, as you would expect, and we already sold four homes off plan. We are delighted for Olivia and Rory and can’t wait to hand over the keys to their new home.”

Thoughtfully designed to blend modern living with timeless appeal, The Buttercups offers something truly special for discerning homebuyers.

Sarah added: “We create beautiful new communities with elegantly designed homes in sought-after locations across the Cotswolds, South Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire. At Cotswold Homes, we’re dedicated to providing the best homebuying experience possible — from the moment you choose your home to long after you’ve settled in.”

Set on the edge of the picturesque Cotswold Hills, Coaley is a charming Gloucestershire village that balances rural beauty with a vibrant sense of community.
