New homes on one of Plymouth's newest energy-efficient housing developments are now available for purchase.
The ten new sustainable homes, built on site of the former Morley Youth Centre, off Broadland Gardens in Plymstock, are available in a mix of two, three and four bedroomed options.
With building work now at the 'topping out' stage, local estate agent Lang, Town and Country have begun marketing the homes for sale.
The new development has seen the direct delivery of new homes by the Council for the first time this century.
Heated with modern, energy-efficient technology, to help achieve low carbon living, particular attention has been paid to their design, so that they are adaptable and sustainable. They have been built by local construction firm Classic Builders.
The Broadland Gardens development has been funded through the Council’s Plan for Homes Investment Fund.
All of the homes will be sold on the open market, with surplus repaid back into Plan for Homes for the provision of affordable housing elsewhere in the city.
Councillor Chris Penberthy, Cabinet member for Housing, Co-operative Development and Communities, said: "The Broadland Gardens development has reached a truly exciting stage with these fantastic homes really starting to take shape.
"We are in the middle of a housing crisis and we need more houses in Plymouth. This direct delivery project helps in two ways. Firstly, it sets a standard for the market and allows us to deliver the kind of energy-efficient, modern homes that Plymouth needs.
"But crucially, it also allows us to take the surplus generated and invest it in delivering affordable housing elsewhere in the city."
Matthew Minett, Land and New Homes Manager, said of the development: “We are delighted to be acting as the marketing agents for Broadland Gardens.
“This is an exciting project which will provide quality homes that are flexible, sustainable and futureproof. We look forward to offering prospective purchasers the opportunity to buy an exceptional family home that can adapt with the needs of the modern family and is built to last.”
Lang, Town and Country will be holding a launch event for the development on 7 October. For more information please contact the Lang Town and Country Land and New Homes team 01752 278499 or register your interest at www.langtownandcountry.com/new-homes-for-sale/broadland-gardens/
Since the transfer of its housing stock to Plymouth Community Homes in 2009, the Council have played a strategic role in the market by helping and enabling housing to be built by partners and developers through the Plan for Homes.
This venture has see the Council plan, design and build homes directly itself.
