Showhomes set to open as work progresses at Barleywoods
Bellway is preparing to open two new showhomes at Barleywoods in Oakham, as the development in Braunston Road continues to take shape.
Roadworks have recently been completed to create a new entrance to the 62-home development, and to improve the condition of the main road.
The stone facades of the showhomes – a four-bedroom detached house named The Jeweller and a five-bedroom detached house known as The Watchmaker – are now visible from the road.
Interior designers will begin dressing the homes in the new year ahead of a launch event at the end of January.
Michaela Perkins, Sales Manager for Bellway Eastern Counties, said: “Construction at Barleywoods is progressing well and we’re looking forward to showing people around the showhomes in the new year.
“We have a growing list of prospective customers who want to be first to see these properties and we will be inviting local businesses and community groups to join the launch celebrations.
“In addition to the showhomes, we will be preparing a ‘House to Home’ unit where customers will be able to view the various build stages of the property, see behind the walls and learn how a new home functions.”
Barleywoods is located on an 8.3-acre site which borders Gorse Field Nature Reserve. Bellway is building 43 private homes and 19 affordable properties, which will be made available to local people through low-cost rent or shared ownership.
The development will feature a central green open space and three separate play areas, while a footpath around the site will make the green spaces accessible to residents and the wider community.
Barleywoods is Bellway’s third development in Oakham. The company previously built 200 homes at The Maltings in Barleythorpe and 61 homes at Huntsman Drive on the former Parks School site.
Michaela said: “We have been heartened by the welcome we have received on Bellway’s return to Oakham. We have enjoyed meeting people who have called in to our sales office to find out more about our plans both for the new homes and the development as a whole.
“We’re particularly pleased that the open spaces we are creating will be open to everyone and will link with the existing woodland and nature reserve. This means Barleywoods will immediately feel connected as part of the community.”
Three, four and five-bedroom homes are currently available to reserve at Barleywoods, with prices starting at £399,950. For more information see https://www.bellway.co.uk/new-homes/eastern-counties/barleywoods or call the sales team on 01572 200038.
