The scheme forms a collection of 207 new homes and is part of a wider 350-home development in the area. Bellway Homes has a strong industry reputation, having been awarded the Home Builders Federation (HBF) five-star home builder status for the ninth consecutive year, meaning over 90% of customers would recommend the company. The development offers an elegant mix of new 2, 3, and 4-bedroom houses. Current available new build homes at St. Mary's Hill begin from a starting price of £319,995. The developer has made a significant investment of over £2.4 million into local services and infrastructure, including a substantial allocation for the expansion and maintenance of local schools. Completion of the building work for both St. Mary's Hill and the neighbouring St Mary's View is anticipated by the end of the year.

Specific house types offer practical, modern layouts. The three-bedroom ‘The Faulkner’ features an open-plan kitchen and dining area, along with a separate living room that includes French doors to the garden.
