A HOUSEBUILDER has officially unveiled a Halstead site.

Bellway Homes has launched the ten-acre Oakfields Park site which will be home to 80 properties.

Its showrooms and the first batch of homes are now available.

Last year it was announced that Bellway homes would be bringing 298 homes to Halstead and investing millions of pounds.

Almost 220 homes would be built at Willow Park, off Winston Way, and the rest are at Oakfields Park.

The Oakfields Park development is located off Tidings Hill and 52 of the properties are for private sale and 28 of them are available for local residents through rent or shared ownership schemes.

At its opening, visitors were invited to look around the site’s two showrooms, including a three-bedroom property with a sensory room for to children with autism and other special needs.

Jenny Walker, sales director for Bellway Essex, said: “Our launch was a great success with visitors joining us on the day and taking the opportunity to be among the first to look around our fantastic show homes.
