Sir Frank Whittle Gardens jets into the record books

A C Lloyd Homes has launched its latest development, Sir Frank Whittle Gardens in Park Road, Leamington.

And according to director Alistair Clark over half the properties have already been reserved by buyers who registered their interest since planning was granted.

He said: “This has been one of the most successful launches in the company’s 60 year history and is down to several factors including the Park Road location, the range of homes, the prices and the fact that the new North Leamington School is just around the corner.”

He also believes that another factor is the small number of new homes currently available in the region.

“This is a small development of two, three and four bedroom homes overlooking the Warwickshire Greenbelt and yet within walking distance of the town. It is proving to be extremely popular.”

Just 35 properties for sale are being built with prices ranging in the current release for sale from £199,950. There are nine different house designs ranging from two bedroom starter homes to four bedroom luxury family homes with garages and even a games room in the top of the range Haviland.

The development name was suggested by a pupil at North Leamington School (NLS) which is on the school’s former site.

Year 8 student Sian Duckham suggested that the development be named after the school’s most famous former pupil, Sir Frank Whittle, inventor of the jet-engine and all the house types have also been named after jets to keep the theme running.

Alistair Clark said: “We thought Sian’s name was ideal because both the school and our company have links with Sir Frank Whittle.

“He had, in fact, been a pupil at Sian’s school when it was called Leamington Boys College, before it merged with two others when they built the school at Park Road in the 1950s.

“Our own link comes through Frank Whittle’s father’s old workshops which overlooks the rear of our head office in Clinton Street. We asked Sian to visit the development to see her chosen name on the large sign.”

The sales office is open between 10.30am and 4.30pm Thursday to Monday.
