Burgess Lane

Tucked between the Brendon Hills and miles of rolling Somerset countryside, Wiveliscombe offers a blend of rural calm and genuine community spirit that’s increasingly hard to find. Its friendly, small-town atmosphere, rich local history, and access to beautiful landscapes make it an appealing place for anyone seeking a slower, more connected way of life. With a vibrant network of local events, independent shops, and a strong culture of neighbourly support, Wiveliscombe feels both welcoming and quietly dynamic, a place where people can put down roots and thrive.

At Burgess Lane, we'll have a variety of affordable housing:

• 15 homes available for rent, with a range of two, three and four-bedroom homes.
• 11 homes available to buy through shared ownership offering two and three bedrooms homes.

The homes are part of a larger development being constructed by Lovells and will come with a NHBC warranty.
