Willow Rise

Willow Rise, Calverton, Nottinghamshire (NG14 6PA)

Development Overview

Willow Rise, a new build homes development by national developer Bellway Homes, is situated off Flatts Lane in the established village of Calverton, Nottinghamshire. The development comprises a total of 82 energy-efficient homes, including 66 for private sale and 16 affordable properties. The majority of the private plots consist of three and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached new build houses, designed to cater to families and commuters. Construction, which commenced in 2021, reached completion in April 2024, meaning the site is fully built out and an established community is already in residence. Limited final plots may be available, with the original pricing structure beginning at approximately £244,950 (as of Q3 2023). A specific four-bedroom ‘Guilder’ house style, for example, was priced at £349,950 in early 2024. The development falls under the jurisdiction of Gedling Borough Council.

Property Details

The remaining new homes at Willow Rise feature modern, future-focused specifications. Key features across the development include electric vehicle (EV) charging points provided to all houses. The designs emphasise contemporary, low-maintenance living with high energy efficiency to reduce utility running costs. Specific house types, such as the four-bedroom ‘Guilder’, incorporate 'Lifetime Home' design principles, which include practical features such as wider ground-floor doorways and a downstairs cloakroom designed with the space and layout to allow for future conversion to a wet room, offering long-term adaptability. Exact internal specifications and any remaining available house types (e.g., The Chandler, The Guilder) should be confirmed directly with the developer's sales team.
