Meadow View is a completed, large-scale new build homes development by Redrow Homes, situated off Western Road in the historic ‘modern movement’ village of Silver End, Witham, Essex (CM8 3SE). The development, which comprises a total of 350 properties, is now in its final phase, branded as ‘The Foxgloves.’ The focus of the final phase is the Redrow Heritage Collection, offering a limited selection of 2- and 3-bedroom family houses.

The development is largely complete and nearing a full sell-out, a status which contributes to a more established community environment for new residents. The remaining plots primarily consist of 2- and 3-bedroom house types, with prices for available homes generally ranging from approximately £350,000 to £500,000.

The Foxgloves phase focuses on traditional exterior designs from the award-winning Heritage Collection, which are paired with modern, practical interiors.

A key practical feature is the ‘Eco Electric’ specification, where all new homes are fitted with an air source heat pump for heating, providing an energy-efficient solution.
