New images reveal progress of Shrewsbury development

The aerial and interior photos demonstrate how Anwyl Homes’ Five Oaks venture, off Gains Park Way, is taking shape. They also give buyers a taste of the lifestyle on offer for homeowners, with views inside the three-bedroom Birkdale and the four-bedroom Ascot show homes.

Graeme Gibb, sales director for Anwyl Homes, said: “The aerial photos really showcase the superb semi-rural location of our new homes and the progress we’ve made so far.

“People have been keen to see inside the properties at Five Oaks and we’ve welcomed dozens of visitors to our newly opened show homes. We’ve partnered with interior designers Irresistible Design for the first time and they’ve really hit the brief with their on-trend styling and wide appeal. The two fully furnished properties show the potential of the layouts and give homebuyers a chance to view our specification close up, while  also providing plenty of interior inspiration for existing homeowners.”

Five Oaks is bringing a range of properties from two to four-bedrooms to the Shrewsbury village.

The Birkdale features an open plan kitchen and dining room at the rear, lounge to the front and three double bedrooms upstairs, including one with en-suite, and a family bathroom.

Tamara Fearon, of Irresistible Design Group, based in Stoke, said: “The colour palette for the Birkdale – terracotta, walnut and hints of black coupled with the versatile neutrals of white and linen – is in line with the earthy and organic tones that are interior trends for 2025. These tones also take inspiration from Shrewsbury’s historic architecture, from the medieval half-timber and sandstone buildings to the Georgian and Tudor black and white. Styling influences reflect the window shapes from the castle and the abbey, while furnishings and accessories help to connect visitors with nature, with use of warm walnut wood and natural greenery.”

The neighbouring Ascot is perfect for a family with teenagers, with its layout including a large open plan kitchen and dining area, utility and cloakroom, plus a spacious separate lounge. Upstairs are four bedrooms, one with en-suite, and a family bathroom.

Tamara said: “We’ve created a modern yet sophisticated scheme for the Ascot, featuring elements of French blue, gold, linen and clay pink. Soft cool blue is set to be a major colour trend for 2025 and this harmonises beautifully with the warm tones and gold furniture. We’ve also made clever use of wallpaper and artwork to create a balanced and inviting home.”

Anwyl has also opened a new sales centre at Five Oaks, where virtual plans for the  development can be viewed via Anwyl’s 3D interactive system. This gives buyers a digital peek at how the neighbourhood will look once completed.

Graeme added: “Our new homes in Shrewsbury offer energy efficient features like solar panels and extra insulation. It’s a lifestyle that’s hard to match in a second-hand property without doing extensive renovation work. New homeowners’ energy bills are up to £2,422 a year cheaper than those living in an older property.”

Once complete, Five Oaks will feature 106 homes, including 21 affordable properties.

Along with new homes, Five Oaks has been designed to provide open space where residents can enjoy spending time outdoors, including a play area and natural habitats where wildlife can thrive. A new footpath will be created on Gains Park Way connecting to Gains Avenue.

The first homes at Five Oaks will be ready to move into later this year.  

The development is open daily from 10am to 5.30pm. For more information and further opening hours call 01270 306147 or visit anwyl.co.uk/fiveoaks.
