New homes being launched at Wellingborough's Stanton Cross development

Housebuilder Bellway has started building 149 new homes at The Beeches at Stanton Cross, off Irthlingborough Road.

The development, which will comprise two, three, four and five-bedroom properties, is set to open to the public on Saturday (September 29).

Chris Edginton, sales and marketing director for Bellway Northern Home Counties, said: “We are so pleased to be launching the first homes at The Beeches.

“These new properties have been carefully designed to offer something for all kinds of buyers, whether they are looking for a first home, in need of a little extra space or settling down for retirement.

“Stanton Cross also promises to be a fantastic location to live in, with excellent transport links to Northampton, Bedford and London.

“There has already been a great deal of interest in the new homes, and I would encourage house-hunters to come along to the development when we open on site and see what’s on offer.”

Stanton Cross is a major mixed-use development set to deliver a wide range of new homes, employment areas and shopping facilities, together with direct access to Wellingborough railway station.

The development includes shops, schools, commercial space, a town park, community centre and doctor’s surgery.

Major improvements to roads and public transport will also take place.

The residential areas at Stanton Cross are divided into five distinct phases, each with their own unique character.

The inaugural phase, Ise Valley View, plays host to The Beeches.
