Construction progressing well at new development in Linby

Construction is progressing well at a new development in Linby, where more than 80 per cent of the homes have been built.

Bellway East Midlands is building 255 properties at Sherwood Gate, off Papplewick Lane, with 204 of these now built and occupied by their new residents, and a further 15 reserved.

The development comprises a mix of three, four and five-bedroom houses as well as public open space and a children’s play area.

Heidi Higgins, Sales Manager at Bellway East Midlands, said: “The building programme is progressing very well indeed and more than 200 residents have now moved into their new homes at Sherwood Gate. We have had a variety of buyers purchase homes here and it has made for a vibrant new community with people of all ages moving in.

“Sherwood Gate has proved to be a very popular development with both local people and buyers from further afield. The quality and affordability of the properties and the fact that there are just three, four and five-bedrooms homes on a development with plenty of green space is a big attraction.  

“We have welcomed first-time buyers from London, who have discovered that, after saving up a deposit, they can swap rented accommodation in the capital for a sizeable house in Linby. Some of these first-time buyers have been couples who have left behind a two-bedroom flat in London for a four-bedroom house where they can both work from home, have an office each and keep their work and home life separate.”  

Sherwood Gate was launched in November 2017 and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2024.

Heidi said: “This development is appealing as it is offers a desirable rural setting with the attractions of urban life within striking distance, just over a mile from Hucknall town centre and eight miles from the hustle and bustle of all the shops, bars and restaurants in Nottingham city centre.

“Families are being attracted by the proximity of a number of well-regarded schools. There are two primary schools within walking distance, while there’s a secondary school, the National Church of England Academy, less than two miles away.

“Residents who like to live an active life are catered for at Sherwood Gate as they can walk to Hucknall Leisure Centre, which offers a swimming pool, gym and sports court, while commuters and day-trippers are well-served by the road network which sees two junctions of the M1 less than six miles from the development.”

There’s currently a selection of three and four-bedroom new homes available to reserve at Sherwood Gate, with prices starting at £260,000 and £316,000 respectively.
