Development Overview

Carnatic Park is a forthcoming new build homes development by Bellway Homes, an HBF 5-star housebuilder, situated on the former Carnatic Halls of Residence site off Elmswood Road in the desirable Mossley Hill district of Liverpool, L18 8DU. The development is situated within the Mossley Hill Conservation Area and seeks to regenerate this prominent brownfield site. The scheme will deliver a total of 143 new homes, comprising a mix of apartments and houses, and is currently scheduled to launch in 2026, with the site presently undergoing demolition.

Property Details

The Carnatic Park development offers a diverse tenure mix designed for a range of buyers, from first-time homeowners to established families. The composition includes 1- and 2-bedroom apartments, alongside spacious 3, 4, and 5-bedroom houses. Specific planning data indicates the scheme will consist of 15 one-bedroom and 50 two-bedroom apartments set across five three- and four-storey apartment blocks, alongside 18 three-bedroom, 47 four-bedroom, and 13 five-bedroom two- and three-storey houses. Eight units across the scheme are designated as affordable housing.

All properties are designed to modern, energy-efficient standards. Each home includes a turf or landscaped front garden and is allocated dedicated parking, with a minimum of 146 off-road spaces for houses and 72 for apartments planned across the site. Additional amenities include the installation of electric vehicle charging points for residents.
