Millworks

Development Overview

Millworks is a specific new build development by Bellway Homes, a FTSE 250 company and HBF 5-Star Builder, located on Home Park Mill Link Road in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire (WD4 8FW). The site, formerly the campus for West Herts College’s engineering department, features 65 private sale apartments housed within a single five-storey building. The architectural design incorporates mill-style gables and rooflines, a specific reference to the site's history, which housed papermills for over 900 years. The entire development is scheduled for completion following construction, which began in mid-2022. Potential buyers are advised to check current availability with the developer, as sales launched in late 2022 and 25% of homes were reserved off-plan as of September 2023.

Property Details

Millworks offers a collection of one and two-bedroom modern apartments. Initial pricing released in 2023 indicated one-bedroom units starting from £285,000, and two-bedroom units starting from £325,000. The two-bedroom 'Type A' apartment, for example, offers an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area measuring 6.59m x 4.13m (21’7” x 13’7”), with the main bedroom at 3.38m x 3.40m (11’1” x 11’2”).

Each apartment is designed with a high-specification finish, including an open-plan layout to the main living area. Kitchens feature a choice of three Symphony colour palettes, an integrated electric oven, ceramic hob, and hood, alongside an integrated fridge/freezer. Bathrooms are fitted with white Roca sanitaryware and a thermostatic Mira shower. All properties benefit from a private outdoor area, either a large balcony or a terrace, and come with one allocated parking space. Options for an Electric Vehicle (EV) charging point are available for purchase.
