Driveways for Twerton's housing mix

Twerton runs along the river west of the city centre: Victorian terraces on the lower streets, 1930s and post-war semis climbing the slopes towards Whiteway. The terraces suit compact tarmac or gravel bays; the semis take block paving well. It is an area where a driveway is a practical investment first, securing off-street parking in a neighbourhood where it is genuinely scarce.

Value where it counts

Tarmac at £45 to £85/m² and gravel at £30 to £65/m² are the value leaders, and on Twerton's typically modest frontages they produce a tidy, durable drive for £1,200 to £4,000. A block-paving edging course on black tarmac lifts the look for little extra. Permeable options keep the job clear of the front-garden planning rule.

Typical Twerton prices

A compact terrace bay of 20 to 35m² quotes £800 to £3,500; a semi's 45 to 55m² drive £2,200 to £6,000 depending on material. Gravel from £30/m², tarmac from £45/m², block paving from £70/m².
