VERDANCE

A valley that became a town

Where the view isthe address.

Green fields, valley views and the river path, all within a ten-minute walk of schools, a market and the offices where you work. Verdance is a town of 6,000 homes built around one idea. Everything you need in one place, and everything you came for still outside your window.

Built by people who finish.

Verdance is developed by Ashcroft & Vale and designed by Halden Reece Architects. Two decades, fourteen developments, and a record we are willing to put in writing.

Parks & Nature
Green you can reach before your coffee cools.

Open lawns, shaded walks, and four miles of river path. Fifty-eight per cent of Verdance is left unbuilt, and none of it is fenced.
