Introducing Shepperd’s View

A collection of sought-after plots, each enjoying an enviable position overlooking the estate’s largest lake, Wakeling Water. This sheltered location combines the serenity of lakeside living, with stunning views set amidst outstanding natural beauty.

Shepperd’s View is a tranquil retreat from city life, surrounded by semi-ancient forests and wetlands. The next phase of plots has now been released due to unprecedented demand and the swift sell-out of the initial phase of development.
