Launch Of Bedworth Development This Weekend

House-hunters in Warwickshire are invited to put a date in the diary to investigate a new collection of properties being launched by Cartwright Homes this weekend in Bedworth.

McArthur Gardens launches on Saturday 28 January and comprises just nine two-, three- and four-bedroom house types, with prices to be announced on the day. Two-bedroom detached bungalows are nestled alongside three- and four- bedroom detached homes.

Among the property types to go on sale is the one-off ‘Allesley’, on a corner plot of the cul-de-sac – you can take a video tour of it here:

Bedworth is located halfway between Coventry and Nuneaton, and not far from the M6, with the railway station on a line that goes south to Leamington Spa. This makes it a great choice for commuters to numerous towns and cities in the region.

Bedworth itself has a lot going for it. There are plenty of shops, supermarkets and places to eat, as well as regular markets upholding the town’s long-running retail tradition. A leisure centre and numerous sports clubs and leisure facilities will appeal to people of all ages, while parents will be very happy with the range of schools in the area.

McArthur Gardens is named after a local young man who died in the Second World War aged just 22. Alex McArthur was born in 1918 and his father was killed in action with the Worcestershire Regiment just three months later. The young man worked for Alfred Herbert Ltd, the major Coventry-based machine tool manufacturing business, and was also a member of St John’s Ambulance and played a role at a church in Radford.

When on duty in November 1940, he was part of a team putting out incendiary bombs near the church. A direct hit on the church killed all four of them and blinded the curate. Alex is buried in Bedworth Cemetery and was posthumously mentioned in two well-respected books about the war, The Blitzed City by Karen Farrington, and Coventry by Frederick Taylor.

McArthur Gardens opens on Saturday 28 January. Find out more about Cartwright Homes.
