Successful Sale of Somerset Development Site

Published: 11/07/2025 By Edward Dyke

Symonds & Sampson are delighted to report the successful sale of a 26.06 acre residential development site on the outskirts of Templecombe.

Working with Gleeson Land, the development scheme had been sensitively designed to provide not only housing, but also community facilities and open public space.
 
Edward Dyke, Partner at Symonds & Sampson, suggests that the position of the land, on the edge of the village, enables future residents to enjoy local amenities, good communications, and appreciate the surrounding Blackmore Vale countryside.

Multi-award-winning housebuilder Vistry Group will undertake the build, further demonstrating its commitment to delivering sustainable homes, communities and social value, leaving a lasting legacy of places people love.
