Project Detail
Waltonbrook is a thoughtfully designed residential development in the sought-after Leicestershire village of Burton on the Wolds, delivering 66 high-quality new homes on a former brownfield site and helping to support the long-term growth and sustainability of the local community.
Developed by Owl Homes, the scheme provides a diverse mix of one, two, three, four and five-bedroom homes designed to meet the needs of a wide range of buyers, from first-time purchasers and young professionals to growing families and downsizers. Located off Melton Road on Sowters Lane, the development has been carefully planned to create an attractive new neighbourhood that complements the character of the village while providing modern, energy-efficient homes built for contemporary living.
A key feature of Waltonbrook is its commitment to delivering meaningful housing choice. Alongside homes for private sale, the development includes 31 affordable homes delivered through a partnership with East Midlands Housing and Charnwood Borough Council. The affordable provision comprises a mix of social rent and shared ownership properties, helping local people and families access high-quality housing within the area while supporting a balanced and inclusive community.
The development also represents the successful regeneration of a previously developed brownfield site, transforming underutilised land into a vibrant residential neighbourhood. By bringing the site back into productive use, Waltonbrook contributes to the efficient use of land while delivering much-needed new homes in a highly desirable village location.
Surrounded by open countryside, Waltonbrook benefits from a peaceful rural setting while remaining exceptionally well connected. Residents enjoy easy access to local amenities including Burton on the Wolds Primary School, community facilities, a village pub and nearby services, while the larger town of Loughborough provides a wide range of retail, leisure and employment opportunities. Excellent transport links also connect residents to Leicester, Nottingham, East Midlands Airport and the wider motorway network.
Designed with modern lifestyles in mind, the homes at Waltonbrook combine thoughtful layouts, quality specifications and energy-efficient features that support comfortable and sustainable living. The development offers a broad mix of property types and tenures, helping residents remain connected to local family, employment and support networks throughout different stages of life.
Waltonbrook reflects Owl Homes’ commitment to creating attractive, well-connected neighbourhoods that provide genuine housing choice and long-term value for residents. Through the delivery of both private and affordable homes, alongside the regeneration of a brownfield site, the development is helping to support the future growth and vitality of Burton on the Wolds while creating a lasting positive impact for the local community.
