Bellway to build 133 homes near Prescot

Bellway Homes has acquired more than 10 acres of land in Whiston, near Prescot on Merseyside, for a new residential development.

The housebuilder wants to build 133 homes on the site for a disused school on Scotchbarn Lane.

Bellway will build a range of two and three bedroom semi-detached homes as well as a selection of three and four bedroom detached houses, catering for first-time-buyers, families and those looking to downsize.

Known as Scotchbarn Rise, this new residential development will enhance the housebuilder’s presence in the region, providing much needed new build homes in the Borough of Knowsley.

Jenny Bell, sales director at Bellway Homes, said: “The plans for Scotchbarn Rise are superb with an excellent mix of house styles and sizes to suit all budgets. We are confident that the development will prove popular with local buyers looking for a high quality, low maintenance home in a convenient location.”
