Summerfield starts work on new homes in Keinton Mandeville, Somerset
SOMERSET, UK / AGILITYPR.NEWS / August 05, 2026 / South West housebuilder Summerfield Homes has broken ground on Well Stone, an exclusive development of seven houses and two bungalows off Queen Street in the sought-after south Somerset village of Keinton Mandeville.
Situated between Somerton and Castle Cary, Keinton Mandeville is a thriving village with Roman origins and a rich heritage linked to its Blue Lias stone quarries. Today, it offers a well-regarded primary school, family-run pub and village convenience store, making it an attractive location for families, professionals and those looking to enjoy a village lifestyle.
Designed to complement their surroundings, the new two, three and four-bedroom homes combine contemporary architecture with traditional craftsmanship and will be finished with natural stone, reflecting the character and heritage of the local area while delivering lasting quality.
The development has been designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating the latest energy efficient technology. Every home will benefit from solar panels, electric car charging points, off-road parking, a garage and a private garden, helping homeowners reduce their environmental impact while enjoying lower energy costs.
Marking the start of construction, Summerfield Homes Construction Manager Mark Woodland said: "We are delighted to be bringing new Summerfield homes to the highly desirable village of Keinton Mandeville. Well Stone has been carefully designed to reflect the character of its surroundings while providing high quality, energy efficient homes for modern living.”
"We look forward to becoming part of the local community over the coming months as the development progresses and to welcoming the first residents to Well Stone."
