The community at Thorn Fields continues to grow and develop as we have been here for a few years now. Popular with families and first time buyers wanting to make the most of the excellent commuter links available, there’s plenty of opportunities to meet new people and make friends at Thorn.
As many residents are now moved in, you will often see children and families playing in the various parks around the development as well as making the most of the local coffee shop and takeaway of an evening.
You’ll find the town of Houghton Regis itself is a welcoming place with a keen community spirit and there are many events run by the local town council throughout the calendar year. Residents will enjoy visiting Houghton Hall Park and exploring it's grounds in the Summer months - the kitchen garden certainly has the 'wow factor'.
Local investment
A home is more than just a house, it’s also about the community that surrounds it. And that’s why we invest in building communities that support local businesses, improve facilities in the area and help bring people together.
Over the years we are building here, we are contributing over £29m.

Donation to Ardley Hill Primary
We recently visited Ardley Hill Academy in Dunstable, nearby to the development, following our donation of a heavy-duty site container alongside a £150 contribution for brand new sports equipment.
The container will serve as a secure storage facility for the academy, offering a practical solution to their growing outdoor storage requirements.
The additional monetary donation has allowed the school to purchase basketballs as well as tennis bats and balls, benefitting pupils across different age groups.
Stephen Fox, Headteacher at Ardley Hill Academy, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Taylor Wimpey South Midlands for their generous support. The container has been instrumental in helping us organise essential resources, and the sports equipment will enrich our students’ physical education experience. A big thank you to all involved.”
Donation to Houghton Hall Park
We donated £500 in support of the Friends of Houghton Hall Park Group, plus a new insect abode which can be seen in the stunning kitchen gardens.
Houghton Hall Park, owned and jointly managed by Central Bedfordshire Council and Houghton Regis Town Council, has the support from the Friends of Houghton Hall Park Group, who were set up in 2021 to assist with conservation tasks, gardening, events, and fundraising.
Councillor Rebecca Hares, Executive Member for Health and Community Liaison at Central Bedfordshire Council, said: "We are very grateful to receive this donation and would like to thank Taylor Wimpey for supporting the Friends of Houghton Hall Park, who give their time so generously to improve the park for the whole community."

First Time Buyers Find Dream Family Home at Peaceful Thorn Fields
Antonio Mardini and Patricia Arnone had been renting for years and, after saving for a deposit, were finally about to purchase their first home together with their three children when they came across their dream family home at our Thorn Field development.Antonio said: “Buying a property always takes time, from preparing all of your documents to saving for a deposit. For us, it took us a couple of years to prepare everything and start viewing homes to purchase. We were looking for a property near Dunstable, and the first development we visited was Thorn Fields because of its access to the A5 and M1.
“When we saw the development for the first time, we liked the streets, layout and accessibility of it, so that was an excellent first impression for us. Thorn Fields is a lovely place and we loved it from the first moment, so we didn’t visit any other developments. We also chose Taylor Wimpey because the team took the time to explain everything properly when we first visited the sales office. They were amazing and gave us plenty of advice. They recommended three mortgage advisors to us and once we chose one of them, they helped a lot with the process. It was so easy and quick.”
The couple chose the three-bedroom Easedale house type and when asked why they chose this home, Patricia said: “We chose the Easedale because, apart from being a beautiful home, we are a family of five, so needed a minimum of three bedrooms. For the size and price, the Easedale was the best option for us.”
Since moving in, Patricia shared their favourite things about their new home and the local area: “Our life has changed for the better; we always wanted to live in a quiet area and Thorn Fields is exactly what we wanted, moving a little further away from Dunstable was worth it for us.”
