First residents move onto Bellway development near Maidstone

A family of four are the first residents to move into their new home at Bellway’s development on the outskirts of Maidstone.

Paul and Hayley Embleton, along with their two children, picked up the keys to their detached four-bedroom Bowyer home at Bellway at Rosewood, off Sutton Road in Langley, on Friday 30 June.

Hayley said: “We are settling in so well at our new home, exactly as imagined. Moving is no easy task, but one that we’ve looked forward to when purchasing our home with Bellway.

“Throughout the entire buying process, the sales team have been brilliant! Helpful in answering any questions and making the experience an easy and delightful one.

“Boxes are mostly unpacked, and we plan to fully tackle decorating once the kids go back to school soon. We can’t wait to put those final personal touches on our gorgeous new space.”

Bellway Thames Gateway is building a total of 170 new homes at the 10-acre site. The development will comprise 119 new homes for private sale and 51 affordable homes for local people through low-cost rent and shared ownership.

Carolyn Webb, Sales Manager at Bellway Thames Gateway, said: “We are pleased to welcome the Embleton family to Bellway at Rosewood as our first residents here.

“Having our first family moved in, who will soon be joined by other new homeowners, signals the start of the exciting process whereby the development is transformed from a construction site into a living, breathing community which people call home.

"This has proved to be a very popular development as we received a lot of enquiries from potential buyers, even before officially launching the site in March. So far, we have built 12 private homes with nine of these already sold, mostly to people from Kent, apart from three buyers who have bought their first homes in England after moving here from abroad.

“We are not surprised by the level of interest in this development as it is in a fabulous location. Bellway at Rosewood is less than four miles from the shops, restaurants and bars of Maidstone, the charming county town of Kent. This county is rightly known as the ‘Garden of England’ and residents here will be living in a semi-rural locale surrounded by gorgeous countryside.”

Bellway is the latest housebuilder to start construction work within the wider Rosewood development, which is being led by Countryside Properties. Plans for the overall scheme include up to 800 homes, over 34.5 acres of public open space and the provision of land for a primary school within the 116-acre site.

There is currently a selection of two, three and four-bedroom new homes available to reserve at Bellway at Rosewood, with prices starting at £345,000.
