Housebuilder Bellway says interest from potential buyers of homes in a new £65m housing development in south Liverpool is “unprecedented”.
Bellway secured planning consent late in 2025 for the project to build 143 houses and apartments on the former University of Liverpool’s Carnatic Halls site. Remedial work has started at the brownfield location.
It will comprise 65 one and two-bedroom apartments and 78 three, four and five-bedroom homes set among mature trees and landscaped public open green space. It is located on the intersection of Elmswood Road, North Mossley Hill Road and Rose Lane.
Two different architectural designs have been developed – Mossley Hill and Urban Green. Mossley Hill designs will feature Tudor boarding with black doors and windows, while the Urban Green elevations will feature Chartwell Green doors and windows.
Managing director at Bellway North West, David Williams, said: “We have received huge interest in Carnatic Park and are delighted to finally be able to reveal the new visuals that highlight just how stunning the prestigious development will look once complete.
“We have worked hard to ensure the overall aesthetic of Carnatic Park perfectly complements the existing architectural character of the local area and delivers a superb collection of high quality new build homes with a modern yet timeless appeal.”
All homes will benefit from renewable and low carbon energy and energy efficiency measures. There will be an emphasis on new green areas and the retention of the existing features including the sandstone and brick boundary walls and mature trees.
There will be more than 12 acres of designated publicly accessible open space plus walking and cycling routes and biodiversity will be improved by more than 40% with the planting of biodiversity rich species with bat and bird boxes and hedgehog highways.

David Williams added: “We are extremely excited to be developing at Carnatic Park and make these beautiful new homes available to homebuyers in Liverpool.
“Remediation work has already started and we hope to have a sales presence on site by late summer with first occupations in spring 2027 and completion forecast towards the end of 2028.”
