Construction work at Bellway development in Melton Mowbray passes halfway stage
Construction work has reached a significant milestone at Bellway’s Roman Gate development in Melton Mowbray, where more than half of the homes have been built.
The housebuilder is delivering a total of 217 properties at the site off Leicester Road on the western edge of the town.
So far, the developer has completed 103 of the 183 properties for private sale. An additional 34 affordable homes for low-cost rent or shared ownership are also being built.
New drone photographs of the development show how the new homes are taking shape alongside the large areas of public open space.
Kenny Lattimore, Sales Manager for Bellway East Midlands, said: “Construction work is progressing very well at Roman Gate, as these new drone photographs demonstrate. What is also clearly visible from these aerial images is the large areas of public open space at the development. The largest of these features attenuation ponds and a wetland area at the front of the development, but we are also providing a green corridor with a footpath and seating along the east of the site and a children’s play area at the southern boundary.
“This collection of two, three and four-bedroom properties is proving incredibly popular with a mix of first-time buyers, families and downsizers and the location is also proving a big draw. The development is within walking distance of the town centre and its position just off the A607 means it is conveniently placed for journeys to Leicester or Nottingham.
“Construction work began on site here in 2021 and in the three years we have been here we have not only delivered new homes but have also built links with local organisations. We have sponsored the Men’s first team at Melton Town FC and five members of our team volunteered to help clear up the grounds at Melton Mowbray Baptist Church just over the road from the development.
“We have also donated £500 to the Carpenters Arms, a drug and alcohol addiction recovery charity in Leicestershire. This contribution was used to buy new furniture and carpets after a fire severely damaged their residential centre.
“Our ethos at Bellway is to create sustainable and attractive neighbourhoods where people want to live and to establish meaningful and positive relationships with local groups and clubs which play a very important part in the daily lives of the community.”
Bellway is due to finish construction work at Roman Gate in 2026. The development is part of a wider scheme of 520 homes being delivered by a consortium of housebuilders, which will provide an investment of around £6 million in local services and infrastructure.
There’s currently a choice of two, three and four-bedroom new homes available to reserve at Roman Gate, with prices starting at £199,950.
