Land sale will see more homes built in Winchburgh

A land sale has been completed to allow further development to take place in Winchburgh.

Bellway Homes (Scotland East) has now completed the purchase of a 8.72-acre site from Winchburgh Developments in the expanding new town centre for residential development.

Back in 2015 when Winchburgh Developments first launched the multi-million pound regeneration community, Bellway was one of the first developers to commit to the project.

Since then, the house-building firm has successfully delivered a further two developments of new homes including an existing site, Winchburgh Grange.

The fourth development will feature 181 new three- and four-bedroom homes as well as 40 apartments, just east of Winchburgh Grange and off the B9080 main thoroughfare.

Lynn Pringle, sales director, said: “Winchburgh is a truly aspirational development and it’s been terrific to see the vision behind the project unfold into reality.

“The change has been immense and will only get better and better as more amenities open up.

“Our buyers regularly tell us how much they love living here and we’re delighted to expand our offering with further development which we hope to launch in June.”

The development is part of the wider Winchburgh masterplan that when complete will deliver at least 3,800 new homes, improved transport links, employment opportunities, and state-of-the-art schools.

The masterplan will also provide new outdoor spaces that will include a new canal marina, the creation of Auldcathie District Park, as well as a new motorway junction.

Welcoming the deal, John Hamilton, chief executive of Winchburgh Developments Ltd, said: “We are proud of what we have achieved in Winchburgh so far, and it’s great to see home builders such as Bellway invest further in the area, having already delivered three developments.

“I believe that, when complete, the range of homes available, combined with the lifestyle on offer is absolutely unrivalled at the moment in Scotland.”
