The £2.5 million scheme in Furnace Road will see the creation of 23 affordable new homes, with part-funding from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). This will include 18 properties for rent and five for shared ownership, with a mix of two bedroom apartments and two and three bedroom family houses.
The new homes are being built by Sanctuary’s contractor Partner Construction Ltd and are due for completion in December 2014. As with so many of Sanctuary’s developments, this new project will create much-needed affordable housing as well as local job, training and educational opportunities.
