Additional land acquired by Bellway for 61 new homes in Heywood

Housebuilder Bellway has acquired an additional 6.42 acres of land on Hareshill Road in Heywood to build a further 61 homes at its popular Hopwood Meadows development.

With planning consent already granted, Bellway has made an immediate start on the new phase which will bring forward a mix of three, four and five bedroom detached and semi-detached homes, all with gardens and garages or allocated car parking spaces.

The new phase at Hopwood Meadows is part of the wider South Heywood Masterplan, a 350-acre, mixed-use development anchored by Junction 19 of the M62 that will deliver up to 1,000 new homes, 1.9m sqft of commercial space, a new primary school, new link road, new local centre and extensive green space.

Residents at Hopwood Meadows will benefit from an abundance of new local amenities; the new primary school and new retail and leisure facilities will be less than a 10 minute walk away and a new linear park will provide an attractive green corridor with pedestrian connections throughout the masterplan area.

Lynne Duxbury, sales manager at Bellway, said: “We are delighted to acquire more land in Heywood to extend the number of properties available at our popular Hopwood Meadows development. 

“Located within the masterplan area, the properties will appeal to young professionals, couples and families looking for a quality new build home in a vibrant new urban area that benefits from a host of new education, retail and leisure facilities and is well located in terms of transport links and access to open green space.

“We’ll be developing a range of different house types, all designed to offer contemporary flexible living space, and reflect the style and quality of the properties that have been so well received on the first phase.”

Work has commenced already on the new phase at Hopwood Meadows and is expected to complete by the end of 2028 with the first occupants taking delivery of their new homes towards the middle of next year. Prices are expected to range from £275,000 to £475,000 and Bellway will retain its existing sales office and show homes.

Properties on the new phase at Hopwood Meadows will not be released for sale until the end of this calendar year.
