Jenny Walker, Sales Director of Bellway Essex, said: "The completion of building work at Harvard Place has brought our construction team here a real sense of accomplishment. They have been working hard to deliver these high-quality homes since November 2020, when we launched the development.

"The new homes here been popular among local house-hunters as well as those looking to move to the area from other parts of the country, since it is in a picturesque location with lots of greenery to enjoy and village amenities on the doorstep. It’s also convenient for Braintree and Colchester.

"With all the properties now complete, we are pleased to be finishing construction work on site, having seen a new community become well established here."
