Development Overview

Brook Meadows is a specific new build homes development by national housebuilder Bellway Homes, situated off Meadow Road in the planned community of Wixams, Bedfordshire (MK45 3RE).

The site comprises 111 new homes, segmented into 83 private properties and 28 affordable homes for shared ownership or low-cost rent. Bellway Homes operates with a strong customer focus, evidenced by its retention of the Home Builders Federation (HBF) Five-Star Builder status for nine consecutive years, an accolade signifying that over 90% of customers would recommend the developer to a friend. Construction is progressing, with overall site completion anticipated by Summer 2026.
