Farrans’ first phase of works includes 73 apartments and a ‘wellness suite’ (swimming pool, steam room, gym) within the village centre.

Inspired Villages is supported by £500m funding from NatWest Group Pension Fund and Legal & General. It currently operates nine villages with an additional three sites under construction.
