Bellway London starts work on townhouses at new development at Barking Riverside

Bellway London has started work on a range of townhouses at a new development which forms part of the Barking Riverside regeneration scheme.

The homebuilder has begun construction work at Westbrooke Village, where it is delivering a collection of 167 new homes, featuring 124 apartments and 43 houses, on land off Crossness Road. The development borders Bellway London’s Eastbrooke Village development.

Bellway London is set to build more than 1,000 new homes within the wider Barking Riverside project, which also includes the neighbouring Eastbrooke Village development and five phases at Fielders Quarter.

Barking Riverside is a major project that aims to provide more than 10,000 homes along with commercial and leisure space, new schools, public open space, riverside walks and five miles of cycle superhighway.

Dominic Griffiths, Head of Sales for Bellway London at Barking Riverside, commented: “Westbrooke Village represents our latest phase of construction within the hugely ambitious project which is transforming the former Barking Power Station site into thousands of much-needed new homes in east London.

“Bellway has been involved in the regeneration project since it began and remains firmly committed to its future. Bellway London is playing a significant role in the creation of this brand-new neighbourhood.

“Our new apartments are providing some of the best-value new homes in London, with prices at Eastbrooke Village starting from just over £260,000. Due to the affordability of the properties at Barking Riverside, the housing market in this area has remained remarkably buoyant.”

One couple who are living in a Bellway London home at Barking Riverside are newly-weds Ali and Zeynep Kuz, who returned from honeymoon and moved straight into their new apartment at the Fielders Quarter development.

Ali added: “It’s a developing area. All the buildings are new and the people living here include families and we like that. And when it comes to the buildings, we have everything nearby. The best thing is the view. The apartment is on the top floor, so we can see the River Thames and the sunset is visible from our terrace.”

The townhouses being built at Westbrooke Village will be released onto the market early next year but homes at the neighbouring site of Eastbrooke Village, off Sackett Road, are on sale and some residents have already moved in.
