We are pleased to announce the launch of Phase 2 at Lime Grove, Bardney, with the first homes now available to reserve.

Gelder Living are hosting an Open Weekend at Nettleton Fields, giving you the opportunity to step inside two high-quality detached homes, including the standout The Ash II — a five-bedroom home designed with modern family living in mind.
