THE first set of homes available at a new housing development are set to go on sale.

New properties at Bellway’s Riverbrook Place development in Crawley will be released for sale in the coming weeks.

Bellway is delivering 185 new homes at the 13.5 acre site, off Steers Lane, with 40 per cent of these, or 74 homes, allocated for affordable housing for local people.

The homes at Riverbrook Place will be a mix of two, three and four-bedroom houses, as well as a collection of one and two-bedroom apartments. 

The developer plans to release the first homes for sale in the spring.

Daniel Williamson, sales director for Bellway South London, said: “Construction is already underway at Riverbrook Place and work is progressing well, with the first homes due for completion in January 2023.

“The development sits on a triangular parcel of land on the edge of open countryside within the Forge Wood area of Crawley.

“Riverbrook Place has been planned with the surrounding environment in mind and will be a welcome addition to the new neighbourhood that is currently being created in the town.”

Forge Wood is a wider scheme in Crawley that is planned to comprise 1,900 new homes by 2026.

Detailed plans for Riverbrook Place were approved by Crawley Borough Council planning committee in April last year.

Daniel said: “Riverbrook Place is well located in Crawley with excellent transport links to the town centre, nearby Gatwick Airport and the M23.

“Due to the location and high standard of construction at the site, Riverbrook Place is already generating interest among growing families, as well as those commuting to London.”

The development of new homes is situated to the north east of the town centre and just a short drive from Gatwick Airport. 

Developers hope it will appeal to families, drawn in by local schools and amenities, as well as to those working in Crawley, at Gatwick Airport, or in central London.

Prices for the new homes at Riverbrook Place are yet to be confirmed.
