New homes designed to cater for both work and family life are being showcased at a housing development near Tamworth.

Bellway has unveiled a four-bedroom showhome at Cornfields, off Barn End Road in Warton, to give prospective residents a chance to see how the houses there can accommodate homeworking without limiting the space for personal life.

It comes as the demand for properties with space for a study or home office continues to increase with more people working from home following the nationwide lockdown.

Bellway is currently building a range of two, three and four-bedroom homes at Cornfields. The new development, which is surrounded by rural, picturesque countryside, is also just over five miles away from Tamworth.

Claire Black, Sales Manager for Bellway East Midlands, said: "Space is now a top priority for buyers as many people continue to work from home, and probably will do for the foreseeable future.

"That's why we've designed the four-bedroom Weaver showhome with the modern housebuyer in mind to show it can be used for both work and home life.

"With four bedrooms and a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, the house offers plenty of potential for creating a self-contained home office with lots of natural light, while the separate living room is ideal for spending quality time with the family."

For buyers looking for a smaller property, Bellway has also opened one of the three-bedroom Chandler houses at the development for viewings. This detached property features an open-plan kitchen and dining room, family bathroom and a master bedroom with an en suite shower room.

Claire said: "There is something for everyone at Cornfields. We have a range of homes to suit a variety of buyers' needs, so we would advise anyone looking for a new house in the region to book an appointment to come and see The Weaver or The Chandler for themselves.

"Surrounded by picturesque countryside, and with Tamworth town centre and the A5 just a short drive away, Cornfields is the ideal location for families and working professionals."

A selection of two, three and four-bedroom homes are currently available at Cornfields, with prices starting from £290,000.
