Bellway has started construction work on 80 new homes at its latest development in Halstead.

The housebuilder is delivering 52 properties for private sale and 28 affordable homes for rent or shared ownership on land off Oak Road.

Braintree District Council approved Bellway’s detailed plans for the project in June this year.

Spanning 10.49 acres of land on the southwestern edge of Halstead, the development will also include landscaped public open space and a play area for children. The site will be accessedfrom Tidings Hill with a tree-lined avenue being created at the entrance to the development.

A mix of apartments, bungalows and two to four-bedroom houses will be provided as part of the affordable housing allocation. The properties for private sale will include a range of two,three and four-bedroom houses as well as a couple of three-bedroom bungalows.

The first homes at the new development are due to go on sale at the end of this year.

A selection of three and four-bedroom homes are currently available at Willow Park, with prices starting at £374,995.
