The first detailed images of the new three and four-bedroom houses being built on the former Harold Wood Hospital site in Romford have been revealed.

Bellway Thames Gateway is building 96 new homes at The Comptons, one of the final parts of the redevelopment of the site, off Copse Avenue, on land that was no longer required by the NHS.

The first plots have now been released for sale, including the three-bedroom Marston and four-bedroom Holmesdale and Upton three-storey designs.

The development will also include affordable one, two and three-bedroom apartments, alongside communal gardens and play space, with some existing trees retained and complemented by new planting.

“In the meantime, we have released the first houses for sale from our nearby Roe Wood Park development, such is the interest in these high-quality new homes.

“The well-connected location of The Comptons is a real draw for buyers in the area, with Harold Wood railway station just a 10-minute walk away for quick access to Crossrail services.

“But this is a development which will bring real benefits to the local area, transforming a redundant brownfield site into a new residential neighbourhood.

“As well as providing high-quality housing and new public open space, we are also creating additional parking for the neighbouring NHS Harold Wood Polyclinic, and investing more than £1.3 million in local infrastructure such as schools and public transport.”

Houses at The Comptons are highly energy efficient and each have solar PV panels on the roof to generate renewable electricity.

There’s currently a choice of three and four-bedroom designs available to reserve, with prices starting from £659,995. For more information, visit  https://www.bellway.co.uk/new-homes/thames-gateway/the-comptons.
