Cecilly Mills

Development Overview

Cecilly Mills is a new build homes development by Bellway Homes, located off Oakamoor Road in the market town of Cheadle, Staffordshire (ST10 1BS). The development is situated on the brownfield site of the former Cecilly Mills JCB factory, a location with a long industrial history that is now being transformed into a residential community of 120 properties. This includes 107 new homes for private sale and 13 affordable homes for rent or shared ownership.

Cecilly Mills offers a selection of two, three, and four-bedroom homes, designed to appeal to first-time buyers, families, and commuters. The current pricing for the available new build homes at Cecilly Mills begins from £184,995, based on January 2024 figures. A known three-bedroom detached house, the 'Thespian' style, was previously purchased for £289,995. The development features a 'green corridor' and the restored Cecilly Brook nature reserve, including an eight-metre buffer zone designed to encourage local biodiversity.

Property Details

The properties at Cecilly Mills are being constructed to Bellway's standard specifications and all include a 10-year warranty. A core feature of the designs is an emphasis on energy efficiency, which can lead to significant savings on utility bills compared to older, non-new build homes. House styles typically incorporate contemporary fitted kitchens, modern bathrooms, and master bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms. Examples like the three-bedroom Thespian house style include a downstairs layout with a separate living room and a dedicated kitchen/dining room, as well as a garage. All homes feature either a garage or allocated off-road parking.
