Hatfield Grove

Development Overview

Hatfield Grove is an established new build homes development by Bellway Homes, located off Drury Grove, Bury Lane, in the desirable commuter village of Hatfield Peverel, Essex (CM3 2GL). The development is built on the former Arla Dairy site, a brownfield regeneration project delivering a total of 195 new properties across two phases. Phase one comprised 145 properties, with a further 50 homes in the second phase accessed off Bury Lane.

The development originally offered a varied mix of two, three, and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached new build houses, designed to appeal to first-time buyers, downsizers, and families. While the official Bellway website currently indicates that all homes are reserved, the site has experienced high demand, with early releases due to popularity. Pricing for the second phase of three and four-bedroom houses started from approximately £429,995 (December 2023 data), and specific four-bedroom detached plots have been listed with a guide price around £624,995. For the most current availability, including cancellations, resales, or future releases, prospective buyers must contact the Bellway Homes sales team directly.

Property Details

The properties at Hatfield Grove are constructed by the highly reputable Bellway Homes and benefit from a 10-Year NHBC Warranty. Typical family homes, such as the four-bedroom ‘Jeweller’ house type, offer practical, high-specification living. These properties feature an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/family area with French doors opening onto the garden, a separate spacious living room, a dedicated study, and a separate utility room with external access. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms include two with private en-suite facilities, in addition to a sleek family bathroom. All homes on the development include private gardens and either a garage or dedicated off-street parking.

Location Benefits

Hatfield Grove is ideally positioned for commuters, situated within a two-minute walk of Hatfield Peverel mainline railway station. Direct Greater Anglia services from this station provide a journey time to London Liverpool Street in as little as 41 minutes. The development also offers excellent road connectivity, with the A12 primary route easily accessible, linking the area directly to Chelmsford (approximately seven miles) and Colchester (approximately 17 miles). Stansted Airport is located approximately 30 minutes away by car via the A120.

The local community benefits from Bellway’s significant investment in the area’s infrastructure, including over £650,000 towards primary schooling and contributions to the Sidney House GP surgery. Local amenities include a small supermarket and various shops located approximately half a mile from the development. For education, Hatfield Peverel Infant School and St Andrew’s Junior School are both approximately 1.2 miles away. Greater retail and leisure choices are available in Witham, just three miles away, which hosts two outdoor shopping centres, and in the city of Chelmsford, which was a runner-up in The Times’ Best Places to Live 2025.

Practical Information

The development has completed most of its phases, though the official sales status indicates all homes are currently reserved. Historically, new build homes have been available with various incentives and schemes, including ‘Good to Go’ homes for quick summer moves, and plots offering incentives such as contributions towards Stamp Duty costs (to be confirmed upon enquiry). Bellway Essex is also developing a nearby site, Priory Grange, which offers an alternative selection of homes. Viewing arrangements for available plots, or for the showhomes (such as the four-bedroom Jeweller), must be scheduled directly through the Hatfield Grove sales team. Current operating hours are Monday, Thursday-Sunday; prospective buyers should contact the developer for the latest pricing, specification, and availability status.
