Construction complete at Bellway’s Highlands Grange development in Swanley
Bellway has completed construction of a development of 60 new sustainable homes which has transformed the former Harrington’s Plant Nursery in Swanley.
Work started on the site, off Highlands Hill, in January 2023 and with all the houses now built, only the conversion of the sales office into the final home remains to be carried out. This is planned to be finished by the spring.
All homes at Highlands Grange benefit from an electric vehicle charging point, while 10 of the properties are equipped with air-source heat pumps and underfloor heating. The remaining 50 homes have PV solar panels to generate renewable electricity.
Among the new homes are 24 affordable properties for low-cost rent or shared ownership, as set out within the planning agreement for the development. These properties have now all been handed over.
The development has also created new public open space and wildlife habitats, including wildflower meadow planting and the provision of bat and bird boxes, bee bricks, insect hotels and hedgehog highways.
Ed Brading, Bellway Thames Gateway Project Director, said: “We are committed to delivering new homes which enhance the communities where they are built and our development at Highlands Grange is a great example of this ethos in practice.
“The development has delivered a range of much-needed new homes for the community in Swanley and replaced the disused former nursery buildings on the site with an attractive residential neighbourhood.
“We have worked hard to ensure that Highlands Grange forms a sensitive extension to Swanley which helps to meet local housing need, while being sympathetic both to its immediate rural surroundings and the planet. This has been achieved through the retention of trees and hedgerows and new planting, as well as the use of low-carbon technologies and energy efficiency measures.
“Construction work is now complete, so the final homes remaining for sale are now ready to be moved into,and can be viewed at an open house on Saturday 7 February. Buyers will enjoy the benefits of moving into a development where there’s already a well-established and friendly community.”
There’s currently a choice of four-bedroom houses available to reserve at Highlands Grange, with prices starting at £675,000.
