Bellway has released the first visuals of its Carnatic Park development on Elmswood Road in Mossley Hill.
The housebuilder is redeveloping the University of Liverpool’s former Carnatic Halls site into a residential scheme of 65 one and two-bedroom apartments and 78 three, four and five-bedroom houses, set within existing trees and landscaped public green space.
Interest in the development has been strong since planning approval was granted late last year. With the release of new visuals and street scenes, prospective buyers can now get a clearer sense of how the scheme is expected to look.
In keeping with existing local vernacular and the area’s conservation status, two different architectural elevations have been developed – ‘Mossley Hill’ and ‘Urban Green’.
Located on the outside of the development facing onto Elmswood Road and Carnatic Road, the Mossley Hill elevations (main image) will feature Tudor boarding with black doors and windows, while the Urban Green elevations will be positioned within the development and feature Chartwell Green doors and windows.
David Williams, managing director at Bellway North West, says: “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.”

The scheme will redevelop a derelict brownfield site and is expected to bring a range of environmental and economic effects to the local area, including contributing to the local economy, supporting jobs, involving local suppliers and providing employment and skills training opportunities such as apprenticeships.
The homes are planned to include renewable and low-carbon energy features and energy efficiency measures, meet M4(2) accessibility standards, and offer a mix of housing types suited to different households.
Landscaping forms an important part of the overall development concept, with a major emphasis on new green areas and the retention of the existing features including the sandstone and brick boundary walls and mature trees.
The site will be opened up to the public, with just over 12 acres designated as open space alongside new walking and cycling routes. Biodiversity is expected to increase by more than 40%, supported by the planting of a wider range of species and features such as hibernacula, bat and bird boxes, and hedgehog corridors.
David adds: “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.”
