Our latest new build scheme in Cheshire East, has commenced at the new Maylands Park development in Nantwich. Construction of the new homes, by Barratt David Wilson Homes, is well underway and which will provide much-needed affordable and energy-efficient housing for the local community.  

Located on Peter De Stapleigh Way, Nantwich, the development will deliver a total of 188 homes, of which 56 homes will be available through Halton Housing and its home ownership arm, Open Door by Halton Housing. Of the new homes 36 will be for Affordable Rent and 20 Shared Ownership, providing a mix of one, two, three and four bedrooms.  

The new homes at Maylands Park are set in stunning rural surroundings, yet within close proximity to Nantwich town centre, offering the best of both worlds. There are a number of outstanding schools within walking distance, making it the ideal location for growing families. This location also provides excellent commuter links for both trains and motorways.  

Maylands Park is the fifth development for Halton Housing in the Cheshire East region. 

Halton Housing will acquire the first phase of homes in Spring 2025. Shared Ownership homes will be made available through Open Door by Halton Housing. The Affordable Rent homes will be advertised through Cheshire Homechoice.  

Paul Mullane, Director of Development and Sales at Halton Housing said:   

“We’re committed to doing what we can to support people across Halton and Cheshire by providing high quality, affordable homes in their area. By partnering with Barratt David Wilson Homes to provide 56 mixed-tenure affordable family homes as part of this development, we’re able to offer people the chance to have a place they are proud to call home, in a great setting, but more importantly, homes that local residents can afford.” 

Claire Jarvis, Managing Director at Barratt David Wilson Homes North West said: 

“We are pleased to be partnering with Halton Housing to provide much needed, high quality affordable homes in the Cheshire East area. The development will provide a wide range of homes across both shared ownership and affordable rent tenures in an area that is ideal for families, young people and those looking to downsize. The Government has set ambitious targets to tackle the housing crisis and we are working closely with local councils and housing associations build the homes that local communities need.”  

The Maylands Park development is to provide 132 open market homes alongside a range of benefits to the local community. A large area of open space is located in the centre of the development which provides outdoor recreational opportunities for new residents and the local community. The open space also incorporates an attenuation basin, village green, community orchard and a Neighbourhood Equipped Area of Play (NEAP).  

All of the homes on the development will meet the latest building regulations. Sustainable technologies such as Waste Water Heat Recovery, Photovoltaic panels and Electric Vehicle Charging Points are utilised on the development. 

Anyone interested in securing one of the stunning Shared Ownership homes will be able to register their interest with the Open Door by Halton Housing team shortly through their website opendoor-homes.co.uk or by calling 0303 333 0101. 

Halton Housing has ambitious plans to build over 1,000 high-quality, affordable homes over the coming years, across the Northwest of England including Cheshire. Alongside our new build programme, we continue to invest in our existing homes and communities.
