Much needed new affordable homes are one step closer to hand over to local people. That’s the message from Senior Development Manager, Sally Bryant, from the largest housing association in the South West, LiveWest, who went on a site visit at Baker Estates’ latest new development in Appledore.
The award-winning housebuilder has entered into a partnership with the social housing provider to deliver affordable homes on the site.
Sally was given a tour of Estuary View by Graham Hutton, Operations Director at Baker Estates, to look at the progress of the homes being built at the site.
In total, four homes will be handed over to LiveWest for local people to live (2 three-bed homes and 2 two-bed homes) which will include social rent and shared ownership tenure.
Graham Hutton, Operations Director at Baker Estates, said: “This is an important investment in new affordable homes in Appledore which has been welcomed by local people. That’s just one of the big benefits of new build developments such as ours in Appledore.
"We are delighted to have entered a partnership with LiveWest on this development, and for these affordable homes to be enjoyed by local families for years to come."
Senior Development Manager at LiveWest, Sally Bryant, added: "We've been very impressed with the first phase of Baker Estates' Estuary View and equally delighted to see progress and the quality of the affordable homes. It's wonderful to be able to deliver new affordable homes for the community in Appledore."
The mix of new homes at Estuary View include 49 distinctive and stylish bungalows, as well as a selection of two and four-bedroom houses, suited to first time buyers, second steppers, downsizers and families alike.
Estuary View has been one of Baker Estates’ fastest-selling developments with many bought by locals from the Appledore area.
Baker Estates launched its four-bedroom show home, ‘The Rosemary’, last month, which features a stunning traditional layout and a master bedroom with an ensuite.
