Superior design

At David Wilson Homes we don't build houses, we build homes. Homes that are designed for growing families and modern lifestyles, executives and busy couples. At The Fairways, where you're on the edge of amazingly beautiful countryside, we've taken this setting into consideration. We've built homes that reflect the surroundings, yet are practical and reflect high specification details throughout.

Essentials on your doorstep

The Fairways is set alongside the Bedford Golf Club and minutes from Kempston where you'll find all the essentials you need, from doctors surgeries, dentists, supermarkets, post office, pubs and restaurants. Closer to home on the development are a medical centre, a primary school and a nursery (set to open January 2013)

The build so far

Phase 3 is now underway at The Fairways, with 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom. The Primary School on site is now open. Building work has started on the Toybox Nursery on the development. This will provide residents with quick and easy access to an excellent childcare facility from 2013.
