Work underway at new housing development in Willand
Work is underway at a new housing development which will provide 125 homes in the Devon village of Willand.
Bellway has started construction at Fox Mill Gardens, off Meadow Park. A total of 81 three, four and five-bedroom houses will be built for private sale, while there will be 44 affordable homes available for local people through rent or shared ownership.
Tim Lund, Sales Director for Bellway South West, said: “Now construction is underway at Fox Mill Gardens, we are looking forward to delivering a high-quality range of three, four and five-bedroom homes for sale in the village.
“We worked closely with the local authority to make sure the development will be sympathetic with the surrounding landscape, and many of the trees and hedgerows on the site will be retained in line with that, alongside new planting.
“This is Bellway’s first development in Devon for several years and we hope that bringing the reputation and build quality of a five-star builder to the county can pave the way for future sites in the area – including a forthcoming development in Crediton which is in the pipeline.”
Bellway has been given a five-star rating by the Home Builders Federation for the past six years running. This means more than 90 per cent of customers have said they would recommend the housebuilder to friends or family members.
As well as providing high-quality new homes, Bellway will be making a significant financial investment into the local area as part of the planning agreement for Fox Mill Gardens, including £250,000 for Willand School, £125,000 for off-site open space and £100,000 towards public transport.
Tim said: “Fox Mill Gardens is within walking distance of many of the great things Willand has to offer, including local facilities such as a primary school, a post office and a convenience store.
“The development is within a half-hour drive of Exeter city centre, around three miles from Tiverton Parkway train station and just three miles from either junction 27 or 28 of the M5 for those looking to travel north or south.
“We are expecting demand to be high for these properties given the beautiful part of the world they are in and we are now focused on progressing with construction in preparation for welcoming the first visitors to the site next year.”
Bellway could release the first homes for sale at Fox Mill Gardens in winter 2022/23
