About Us

Who we are

Founded in 1946 as a small family-run business, Bellway has always been driven by a passion for creating high-quality homes in carefully chosen locations, inspired by the real needs of families.

Today, we continue to uphold these core values, blending decades of experience in housebuilding with the personal touch that Bellway is renowned for. This is recognised by earning our 5-star builder rating from the Home Builders Federation for the ninth consecutive year. Additionally, In 2023 and 2025, we were honoured as ‘Large Housebuilder of the Year.’

What We Do

We design and deliver high-quality new homes and communities across the UK, with Bellway Strategic Land playing a key role in promoting residential-led development in carefully selected locations. With a strong track record of successful schemes across Essex and nationwide, our work involves identifying suitable land, securing planning permission, and supporting the delivery of a wide range of homes alongside green spaces and essential infrastructure, helping to create well-designed, sustainable places where people can live and work.

This approach is reflected in the diverse masterplans we have helped shape across the country, from Cherry Hinton to Barking Riverside, Panshanger and the Channels site beside Beaulieu, where each scheme has been carefully tailored to its setting – responding to local character, landscape and community needs to create distinctive, beautiful places.

What we believe

Creating positive social value is central to everything we do. We are committed to working closely with local communities, councils, and stakeholders to listen, learn, and respond throughout the development process. By engaging openly and early, we aim to shape proposals that reflect local aspirations, support community wellbeing, deliver high-quality housing and long-term benefits such as employment opportunities, skills development, and investment in local services and infrastructure.
