Dreeym / Our Communities / Longlight
Get to know it
Longlight is the newest of the four: twenty-eight acres of rising ground on the Cotswold edge, where the last hedge gives way to the long view and the light does something different in the evenings — hence the name. The first homes are sited in spring 2027; the orchard, the star deck and the dry-stone walls are going in first, because we start with the land.
Life at Longlight
Every Dreeym community keeps the essentials — The Hearth, a guest suite for family, a workshop, allotments, EV charging — and then adds what the land suggests.
The social heart
The Hearth at Longlight opens with the first homes — flagstone floor, wood stove, and a west window built for the sunset it’s named after.
The grounds
The bones came first: half a mile of dry-stone wall rebuilt by two brothers from Northleach, sixty apple trees, and a hedgerow line that will take ten years to look like it was always there. The homes arrive into a landscape already under way.
Homes at Longlight
Filters here never hide a home — they bring the closest matches forward and mark what the others lack. Guide price and monthly pitch fee on every card. Pitch fee here: £190/month, reviewed once a year, pegged to CPI.
The lie of the land
Illustrative, not to scale — the real plan (measured, mapped and covenanted) hangs in The Hearth and comes with the paperwork. Tap a numbered plot to see the home.
In photographs
Every photograph captioned, in the order you'd walk it. Scroll the strip, or open any one full-screen — arrow keys work, and so does the back button.
Out and about
A honey-stone pub, a shop that sells the good bread on Thursdays, and the Monarch’s Way over the stile.
The prettiest small town nobody visits, plus Burford and Stow when you fancy company.
Thirty minutes to the Promenade, the festivals and a mainline station.
What's on
Not a marketing calendar — the actual timetable, as it stands this month. Note what Sunday says. Both things matter.

Skylarks going up, sheep two fields over, and the wind doing what wind does on a wold.
Recording coming with the spring shoot — ask Sarah to play it down the phone in the meantime. She will.

The straight answers
The rest — the law, the ledger, the 10% rule — lives in the Open Book.
First homes are sited spring 2027. Reserving now means choosing your plot, your home and your worktops — and a fully refundable reservation until you exchange.
The pitch fee will be £190 a month at opening, CPI-pegged thereafter — in writing before you reserve. Council tax banding is confirmed on siting; our others are Band A.
The covenant is signed before the first home arrives: 55% green, for good. If anything material changes, reservations are refunded in full — also in writing.
Open-market sale; 10% to Dreeym — capped by law, explained in the Open Book.
