Pupils at Great Bentley Primary School get sporty thanks to donationWelcome to Great Bentley
Known for having the largest village green, an impressive 43-acres, Great Bentley has its own unique character and is a fantastic place to put down roots. The green hosts summer-time cricket matches and picnics; in the winter it hosts fun fares and football matches.
Boasting community groups and a range of annual events – such as a carnival, village show and drama productions – there’s something to suit all ages. Your new local, the Plough Inn, offers classic pub grub with great views of the green.
We support Friday Five Series race in Great Bentley
The Friday 5 Series comprises six 5-mile races across Essex and Suffolk, held during the summer on Friday evenings and open to all. The Great Bentley race took place in July and attracted scores of runners.
Matt Laverack, Race Director of the Friday 5 Series Race, said: “The club has been able to further improve the run and concentrate on the facilities offered to runners and supporters thanks to Taylor Wimpey’s support.
“There are lots of costs involved in hosting a run and we are grateful for Taylor Wimpey’s donation which has been a great help in covering expenses.”
We help spruce up famous village green
Our site team at Hartford Green helped get Great Bentley’s village green ready for the summer by donating a load of topsoil.
The green is famous as the largest in England, and our donation helped to fill in some holes and enable the voluntary Friends of the Green group to carry out some much-needed maintenance.
The green hosts a range of events through the year, including the Great Bentley Village Green in August, and is used by the whole community.
Creating a sustainable future
We visited Great Bentley Primary School to give a thought-provoking sustainability talk and activity workshop
Creating a sustainable future
Staff from our land, production and sales teams visited the school close to our Hartford Green development to host a discussion around the importance of environmentally friendly practices and how pupils can play a role in creating a more sustainable future.
The talk covered a range of topics, from reducing waste and conserving energy to the benefits of sustainable building practices.
We also handed out activity packs which included a selection of educational materials to support pupils in their learning and personal development, such as bird box building kits.
Michael O’Leary, Regional Operations Director at Taylor Wimpey London, said, “At Taylor Wimpey, we are committed to sustainable building practices and believe that it is important to inspire the next generation to create a more sustainable future. It was great to visit the pupils in Great Bentley and our team really enjoyed working through the activities with them.”
Teacher Hannah Upston said: "We are very grateful to Taylor Wimpey for hosting the talk and handing out the activity packs. We think it’s really important to try to encourage our pupils to become environmentally conscious citizens who will understand the importance of protecting our planet, and visits like this can really help."

Exeter family fall in love with green space at Riverside Walk
A family who recently made the move from central Exeter couldn’t be happier with their decision to settle on the outskirts of the city.
With a new baby and a dog, the couple knew that a spacious house with a garden was what they were seeking. After visiting the development, the couple settled on a three-bedroom Byford.
Harry and Sophie are both managers of businesses in Exeter Quay, so open space and cycle links into the city were key considerations for the couple. Riverside Walk has plenty of green space at the development and is close to Exeter’s network of cycle paths, making it the perfect choice for a family that enjoys an active lifestyle.
Harry said: “We’re loving Riverside Walk and being in Countess Wear; we’ve always liked the area and it’s an easy commute to work along the cycle path with great access to the Exe Estuary Trail. We’ve recently started our family and we also own a dog, so the green space that the development has is a huge plus; we’re never stuck for walking routes.
“The development itself looks great, and brings a modern touch to an area with some older estates. We were looking for a three-bedroom house and wanted one that had good proportioned rooms. The whole downstairs area of the Byford is nice and spacious and the upstairs rooms are large enough to fit everything we need, but it still feels cosy.
Overall, we’re really pleased with our home. We wanted to know more about Taylor Wimpey after hearing so much about how much care and quality goes into the building process. From the very start of our buying journey we were impressed with how helpful the sales team were, they answered any questions we had and were helpful in making sure the move was stress-free.

Family finds their perfect village haven at Hartford Green development.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of life, a family has found peace and comfort in the leafy lanes and community spirit of Hartford Green.Jacqueline and Brian Childs, 58 and 57, made their dream move to Hartford Green, nestled in the picturesque village of Great Bentley, with their two foster children, aged 16 and 15.
Retired nurse Jacqueline and transport supervisor Brian wanted to relocate in order to be closer to their own children, leading them to purchase a spacious four-bedroom Manford house that promises comfort, community and convenience.
Jacqueline said: "We moved from Chafford Hundred to Great Bentley to be closer to our own children. It wasn’t planned, however, we noticed plot one when we accidentally came across Hartford Green on our travel route around the local villages - it was love at first sight."
The choice was also influenced by the development's appealing location, its green spaces, children’s play areas, close proximity to great schools, as well as the train station which offers connection to Colchester and beyond.
Brian said: "We immediately fell for the village and the plot, both of which are the ideal size. From the beginning, it felt like we were exactly where we were meant to be. The big green space within a quiet location is what we enjoy most about living here.
“We mostly travel by car but the children make good use of the train station for getting out and about, which makes us feel that we have the best of both worlds."
Their new home, a four-bedroom Manford house type, was an ideal fit for the family's needs as it promised to be a tranquil haven for relaxation and family time.
Jacqueline said: “Our favourite feature of the spacious property is the back family room. It's somewhat private and, once everything is finished on site, it’s going to have a lovely view of a green space.”
Recognising the importance of financial incentives in facilitating a smooth transition, the family took advantage of schemes offered by Taylor Wimpey to secure their dream home.
Brian said: “The sales team helped us with both the sale and purchase by handling stamp duty and estate agent fees. Additionally, we participated in the assisted sale scheme, which served as an invaluable intermediary throughout our buying and selling process.”
This collaborative approach made the sale and purchase process more manageable enabling the family to be excited about their move. .
Jacqueline said: “Working with Taylor Wimpey to buy our home was an incredibly smooth process. They have been supportive and helpful from start to finish, which made us feel comfortable throughout.
“The team goes above and beyond too. When we mentioned that we needed an additional turning circle, they didn't hesitate to address our request. We are extremely pleased with how they've handled everything so far and could not recommend them enough to our friends and family.”
Hartford Green is located at Weeley Road, Great Bentley, Colchester, Essex, CO7 8PD. A selection of three and four-bedroom homes are currently on sale, including the Manford.

Taylor Wimpey returns to Colchester college to give careers talk to Essex students
We visited the Colchester Institute for the second time to give a careers talk to a group of students keen to learn more about construction and housebuilding.
The presentation on 5th February 2025 covered a wide range of topics designed to inspire and educate the next generation of construction professionals. Students gained valuable insights into various career paths within the industry, as well as the importance of essential practices like toolbox talks, health and safety culture, and risk assessments.
The session was led by Dean Wingfield, Production Director for Taylor Wimpey London, who was a former student at the college. This is the second time Dean has visited his old college, and our involvement is part of the our ongoing effort to support education and skills development in local communities.
We are currently building a collection of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes at Hartford Green in Great Bentley, not far from the college.
Christopher Coe, Area Head for Wood Occupations at Colchester Institute, said: “It’s fantastic to have Taylor Wimpey return to Colchester Institute to engage with our students and share real-world industry insights. These sessions not only broaden students’ understanding of career opportunities
in construction but also reinforce the importance of key industry practices such as health and safety and risk management. Having former students like Dean Wingfield come back and inspire the next generation is invaluable in bridging the gap between education and employment.”
Dean Wingfield, Production Director for Taylor Wimpey London, said: “Taylor Wimpey is committed to giving back to the communities where we build, and talks like these are a key part of that commitment. It’s vital that we support and empower young people to pursue careers in construction, and we’re proud to provide guidance and insight that may inspire them to join the industry."
