Eager house hunters in Dereham have been making sure they will be first to know when a selection of new homes is released for sale.

The Foxley Park development, being created by Persimmon Homes Anglia at Westfield Road, is due to launch in the summer, but already dozens of people have registered their interest in the 100 new properties.

Michelle Baker, sales director for Persimmon Anglia, said: “We are really looking forward to bringing a collection of two, three and four bedroom homes to Dereham, designed to suit a wide range of buyers.

“We know what a popular town this is, so it comes as no surprise that there is already a lot of interest in our development. Dereham is a lovely place for families, with a selection of good schools, and our plans for Foxley Park will include a play area and a BMX track for lively youngsters.”

Foxley Park will offer 100 homes to suit first time buyers, growing families and downsizers, including 25 properties identified as affordable homes for local people.

Michelle added: “Dereham is ideally placed for anyone commuting into Norwich but, at the same time, it retains that relaxed, rural feel for those who like to get away from all the hustle and bustle.”

Anyone interested in the new homes at Foxley Park can register their details on our property page at Foxley Park to be kept updated on the development.

Persimmon Homes Anglia operates new build homes developments across Norfolk from its headquarters in Norwich.
