With the famous Elstree Studio – home to national hits like Star Wars and Strictly Come Dancing – just recently celebrating its 90th anniversary, the spotlight is once again on the historic town of Borehamwood as Bellway Homes launches its new Hertsmere Mews development.

Available in a variety of styles to suit all tastes, the construction of 152 one and two-bedroom apartments, as well as 149 three and four-bedroom houses offer modern living 28% below the average London price according to Foxtons Estate Agency[1]. The first phase of homes at Hertsmere Mews in Hertfordshire will be released in November, when buyers will have the opportunity to choose from variety of properties off-plan.

All the homes have contemporary design features including open-plan living spaces to apartments, en-suite shower rooms and integrated kitchen appliances. Apartments come with allocated parking spaces and either a balcony or terrace, while those who buy houses can enjoy their own private garden and off-road parking or a garage. The development will also include landscaped communal gardens that all residents will benefit from. These modern amenities in combination with the development’s convenient location – just a short walk from Borehamwood’s town centre and only 30 minutes by rail from London St Pancras – mean the homes are likely to be popular among families and commuters alike.

Kevin Bowles, Sales Manager for Bellway Homes North London, comments, “We are excited to be launching our homes in Borehamwood. While it is a traditional commuter town, this location is steeped in so much history, particularly with regards to film and entertainment. We want to put the spotlight back on this area and would urge anyone interested in the development to register their interest now.”

Borehamwood has excellent transport links with the capital. However, the town itself also has a lot to offer including a busy shopping district, a wealth of leisure facilities and a number of highly-rated schools. Borehamwood Shopping Park includes of several large high-street fashion and homeware stores.

Meadow Park, a popular setting for public events like family fun days and outdoor film screenings, is conveniently located just across the road from the development. It includes football pitches, tennis courts, a multi-sports court and a children’s play area amongst its facilities.  Nearby Aberford Park, less than a mile away, includes a children’s play area, a skate park, wildflower meadow, lake and wildlife area. For fitness enthusiasts, two leisure centres are also within a five minute walk from Hertsmere Mews.
