Housebuilder Bellway has completed the acquisition of eight acres of land for a new build residential development in Wrexham, North Wales.
Helping to meet increasing demand for more new homes in the area, the development will be known as Holt Vale and is situated on Holt Road just over one mile outside of the town centre.
Formerly owned by Wrexham University, planning consent has already been granted for the development which will comprise an attractive mix of 74 one, two, three and four bedroom homes, including 18 affordable properties for discounted market sale. It is surrounded by open green space and the retention of playing fields for walking and recreation.
Located within an established residential area with a semi-rural feel that benefits from existing infrastructure and strong transport links, the development is accessible and sustainable and supports the delivery of much needed new homes in Wrexham.
Part of Bellway's award-winning Artisan Collection, properties at Holt Vale will be individually designed and benefit from a superb internal and external specification with many luxurious features to provide a flexible and modern living space for discerning purchasers.
With a range of different house types to choose from, including detached and semi-detached properties, each with a private garden and one or two allocated car parking spaces, Holt Vale is certain to appeal to a wide variety of homebuyers.
Sales director at Bellway North West, Jenny Bell, commented: "Building on the popularity of our previous developments in the area, we are delighted to have confirmed plans to bring more new homes to Wrexham and are looking forward to getting started on site in the next few months.
"Located within walking distance of Wrexham town centre and close to transport links and the motorway network for easy access across the North West, the development sits in a semi-rural setting that is just a short drive away from the beautiful wide open spaces and rugged coastline of North Wales. We are confident that it will appeal to a wide range of homebuyers when we release the first properties for sale later this year."
Within the planning agreement, Bellway has confirmed that it will make a number of financial and legacy contributions that will benefit the local community: the open playing fields will be secured for perpetuity under a unilateral undertaking and there is also an educational contribution of approximately £213,000 towards the provision, extension and improvement of primary education facilities at Borras Park County School or to contribute towards the cost of a new primary school.
Construction at Holt Vale is expected to take around four years with the first homes released for sale in early spring 2025, with the showhomes opening and first occupancy scheduled for spring/summer 2025.
