Bellway launches final phase in Bocking

The housing market may not be the most buoyant of sectors at the moment, but that has not put housebuilder Bellway off launching the final phase of development at The Edge in Bocking on the outskirts of Braintree.

Just off the A120 between Bishop’s Stortford and Colchester, Bocking is a charming and picturesque village boasting a real community atmosphere, but with the convenience of Braintree's town amenities on the doorstep.

With development now coming to an end the final phase at The Edge will comprise family sized four and five bedroom properties starting in price from £279,995.

Visitors to the site will be able to view Bellway’s ‘Gemma’ show home which has been expertly furnished and decorated and provides fantastic living accommodation spread over three floors.

“We are extremely proud of the site,” commented Bellway’s sales director, Karen Coulson. “The Edge is a fantastic location providing easy access to the local countryside but with the convenience and amenities of a small town on the doorstep. With prices starting from £279,995 for a four bedroom terraced property we expect considerable interest.

“For buyers wanting to move to The Edge we are offering a part-exchange deal, this is an increasingly popular method of moving and cuts out all the hassle and cost of employing estate agents, organising viewings and the worry of a chain possibly breaking down, not to mention the thousands of pounds that can be saved in fees.”

The nearby town of Braintree has a traditional market square with twice-weekly markets providing excellent modern shopping with well known High Street names. There are a variety of places to socialise, ranging from 16th century inns and family run trattorias to venues such as The Retreat - one of the country’s major blues venues. Braintree boasts a central Tesco and two alternative supermarkets at Marks Farm and Great Notley. The ultra modern Freeport Village is also close by and has a wealth of designer shops, as well as Cineworld, bowling and a vast range of places to eat.

A railway branchline links to Witham and frequent services to London Liverpool Street in 46 minutes, - with several direct services to Braintree at peak hours. Major roads including the A120, A12 and M11 are nearby, with Stansted Airport 15 miles away.
