Bellway launches search for a local hero to open Kirk Ella showhomes

Bellway Homes is on the look-out for a local hero to open two luxurious show homes at its Parson’s Croft development in Kirk Ella on Saturday 25th March.

The Yorkshire division of the national homebuilder says that it wanted to buck the trend of local dignitaries and minor celebrities being invited to cut ribbons and officially open new buildings; and instead celebrate the achievements of a true local hero.

Melanie Smith, Bellway Yorkshire’s sales director, said: “Our aim when we develop anywhere isn’t just to build homes, it’s to build new communities – and in any community there are local heroes who really do deserve recognition.”

“Whether it’s a volunteer who goes way above and beyond; a junior sports coach; a fundraiser; or even a wonderful parent, carer or family member; there will be a host of local heroes in and around Kirk Ella and we want people to get in touch and nominate their heroes.”

To nominate a local hero, Bellway Homes is asking people to e-mail parsonscroft@bellway.co.uk with a quick explanation as to why their nomination deserves to be celebrated. Nominations need to sent in by Friday, March 17th at 12-noon. Bellway will contact the chosen local hero on Monday, March 20th.

“We really will roll the red carpet out to celebrate the achievements of the chosen local hero,” added Melanie. “We’ll arrange for a car to collect them and their guest on the morning of the opening, there’ll be a ribbon to cut, champagne to sip and a photographer on hand to capture the whole event.”

Being built within walking distance of Kirk Ella’s historic village centre, Parson’s Croft will feature 204-homes once complete. The development comprises two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes, and has been designed to appeal to buyers from all walks and stages of life – from first time buyers through to growing families and on to downsizers. Prices start at £214,995 for a two-bedroom semi-detached home and go up to £529,995 for a five-bedroom family home with double garage.

The two show homes that the local hero will officially open are a five-bedroom detached Watchmaker and the four-bedroom detached Lorimer, which provide 1,880 and 1,528 square foot of living space respectively.
