80 per cent of new homes sold at development in Calverton
Construction has now passed the halfway stage at a new housing development in the Nottinghamshire village of Calverton, where 80 per cent of the properties have been sold.
Bellway East Midlands is building 82 new homes at Willow Rise, off Flatts Lane, including 66 three and four-bedroom houses for private sale and 16 affordable properties available for local people through low-cost rent or shared ownership.
Strong demand has seen buyers snap up the majority of the homes for sale, with just 13 remaining available.
Adam Champion, Sales Manager for Bellway East Midlands, said: “Willow Rise has been a much sought-after development right from the outset with our plans creating a great deal of interest when we announced them.
“Sales have been very strong here and there are currently only just over a dozen of the homes left for sale. Interest is so high in the development that we have sold three properties in the last week alone.
“The build programme is progressing nicely and we have so far completed 34 of the 66 private homes on the development, which means we have passed the 50 per cent construction milestone. Residents have moved into all of these properties and it is great to see a new community beginning to form.”
Work began at the site in 2021 and construction is set to finish in 2024.
Adam said: “All of the buyers, many of whom are local, have been attracted by the fact that the development is right on the edge of Calverton which is a thriving rural community. The village offers a host of amenities, which include shops, a library, a leisure centre and a number of pubs and restaurants.
“Willow Rise is proving very popular with families as there is a selection of well-regarded schools in the immediate area. Manor Park Infant and Nursery School, Sir John Sherbrooke Junior School, and St Wilfrid’s C of E Primary School are all within walking distance, as is Colonel Frank Seely Academy, which provides secondary education.
“The convenience of the location has been one of the other main draws for buyers, whether that’s people who work in the centre of Nottingham just eight miles away or commuters requiring easy access to Derby, which is 25 miles away.”
There is currently a choice of three and four-bedroom new homes available to reserve at Willow Rise, with prices starting at £244,950.
