Essex holds some of the most impressive properties, with Zoopla announcing Mope Lane in Witham the seventh most expensive street in the UK[1]. However, not all homes in this area have such a hefty price tag; Bellway’sRivenhall Park is just three miles away and provides a more affordable selection of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes in the popular town. As a bonus, Bellway is offering to pay the Stamp Duty on selected properties, saving buyers as much as £16,500.

The contemporary development is designed to appeal to a range of buyers, including families, professionals and first-time buyers. Completed to a high specification, the houses embrace modern design features and generous open-plan living spaces, with integrated kitchen appliances and en suite shower rooms. All homes benefit from gardens and garages or parking.

Annette Hurst, Sales and Marketing Director at Bellway Essex comments: “Witham is home to some of the most beautiful houses in the country, set amongst lovely vistas of Essex countryside. We are pleased to be offering a collection of modern homes in an area that boasts excellent travel connections, highly-regarded schools and a local shopping mall less than two miles away. To help buyers purchase their dream home, Bellway will pay for the Stamp Duty on a selection of properties for a limited time. We encourage people to visit the development soon before the offer ends, and see the spectacular location for themselves.”

The four-bedroom Mulberry housetype is an excellent example of the spacious homes available, with a dining and family area, open-plan kitchen, separate living room, and a study.
