About the Developer
Elmsley Homes is a UK-based property developer, founded in 2013 by Lee Taylor whilst he lived and worked in Singapore as a partner in an international law firm. Since incorporation Elmsley Homes has acquired four residential development sites, redeveloped two of those sites (Botanica and Carleton House, both of which are located in Liverpool), and sold all 34 completed units and is now in the process of construction at the other two sites (Eastwood Park, Falfield, and The Old Quarries, Avening).
About the development
Tucked away amidst the serene, rolling hills of the Cotswolds, The Old Quarries presents an exclusive collection of 11 exquisite homes in the idyllic village of Avening, Gloucestershire, adjacent to Princess Anne’s Gatcombe Park estate. The development will be delivered in two phases: phase 1 to comprise 4 houses and phase 2 the remaining 7 houses. Inspired by the timeless beauty of the Cotswolds – from its golden stone cottages to its lush, undulating landscapes – this landmark development blends rustic charm with modern sophistication, offering a rare chance to experience the finest in countryside living. Each home is meticulously designed and set within spacious, private plots.
The exteriors are varied and unique, with some paying homage to classic Cotswold architecture, crafted from locally sourced honey-hued stone, and others exuding a more modern aesthetic, with weathered timber cladding, local stone accents and sleek metal detailing. Together, they present an interesting and distinctive collection of stunning homes.
To match the exteriors, the interiors are also diverse either artfully balancing heritage character with contemporary elegance or sleek and refined, with emphasis on light and space. At the heart of every home lies a bespoke kitchen, equipped with premium appliances, creating a welcoming hub for the household that is perfect for both
everyday living and entertaining. Sophisticated modern bathrooms, a luxurious master bedroom suite and thoughtfully designed, generously proportioned rooms ensure that every aspect of these homes has been carefully crafted for comfort and elegance, as well as functionality.
Outside, expansive gardens and sympathetically designed landscaping frame the soothing views of rolling hills and woodlands. Whether bathed in morning light or the golden hues of sunset, this is a setting to be savoured through every season. This remarkable project presents a unique opportunity to experience the finest in rural living, seamlessly blended with contemporary luxury.
