Reasons to live in Kingsway and Hunts Grove
Michael Tuck Estate and Letting Agents have been selling houses in Kingsway and Hunts Grove since the beginning!

Kingsway Village
Kingsway Village was built on the former RAF Quedgeley site which was in operation between 1914 and 1995. Located to the far South of Gloucester and accessed from the A38 dual carriage-way, development started in 2006 and included builders such as Barratt Homes, Bromford Homes, Bryant Homes, David Wilson Homes, George Wimpey, Miller Homes, Persimmon, Bloor and Taylor Wimpey. It forms part of Quedgeley Town.
Michael Tuck New Homes were instrumental in selling many of the plots from brand new, and continue to sell and rent property in Kingsway on the second hand market.
The suburb has a current population of about 3000 people and the housing consists of a full mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses along with several apartment blocks which can be found at the gateway to the development from the A38 dual carriage way.
The four main roads of Kingsway are Rudloe Drive, Thatcham Avenue, Newhaven Road and Woodvale form a complete loop from which housing and commercial properties can be accessed.
Kingsway Local Centre
Kingsway Local Centre consists of five units including a Tesco Express, a Pharmacy and a number of take away restaurants. Nearby you will find The Barn Owl pub which is a converted barn originally being part of the old Manor Farm along with a local community centre.
Further along Rudloe Drive you will find Kingsway Surgery and The Rose Tree Farm restaurant.
Along Newhaven Road and backing on to the A38 there are a number of offices based in former RAF buildings along with a Lidl, B & M Store with Garden Centre, Asda and Puregym.
Waterwells Primary Academy was opened in 2013; named after nearby Waterwells Business Park which separates Kingsway from Hunts Grove.
Hunts Grove
The Hunts Grove development started in 2010 and is located on the northern edge of Hardwicke, bordering onto Haresfield. Once completed it will consist of 1750 homes with housebuilders such as Crest Nicholson, David Wilson Homes, Bellway Homes, Linden Homes and Bovis Homes all heavily involved.

Michael Tuck Lettings in Quedgeley have managed our rental property for the past 11+ years.
During this time their professionalism has never dropped. In the early days, Ian, Graham and Vikki-Lee were a huge help to a novice landlord. I’m pleased to say they are still there with a helping hand. Claire has always been the nudge I needed for the necessary insurance and safety checks. Having had some difficult times over the past couple of years I would like to say a special thank you to Lianne who has been there to help wherever she could.
We are in the process of selling the property and as expected Miles and Otis are dealing with everything with Tucks usual professionalism.
I have no hesitation in recommending this lovely, friendly office.
I cannot recommend Michael Tuck Estate Agents enough.
They were so professional and so prompt with their communication. In particular we would like to mention Charlie for his regular updates and extremely helpful service in the sale of my mothers house. We were in a particularly long chain, and he went over and above to assist us in the communications between the buyers and sellers in order for our chain to proceed. He even contacted Solicitors and helped progress the exchange.
“We are certain if it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have sold our house! We cannot thank him and his team enough.”
