Older residents in Hexham will be able to enjoy a fantastic central location when the St Cuthbert's Close development is completed late this year.
Landlord and developer Karbon Homes is working with main contractor Tolent on a comprehensive development of the site, which will see 38 high specification apartments completed.
Karbon is aiming to build homes to suit all sections of the community in Hexham, with 20 apartments available for Shared Ownership, and 18 for rent.
The project has already seen the demolition of the outmoded bedsit style flats which used to stand on the site, along with a pair of semi-detached houses, which previously sat between St Cuthbert’s Close and Hencotes.
This has allowed the creation of a new entrance for the development on Hencotes linking future residents into all the shops, cafes and restaurants available in Hexham town centre, and allowing easy access for visitors.
The project, designed by architects HMH, has been supported with £2.3m of funding from the Homes England development and regeneration agency. Jayne Hore, assistant director of development, sales and marketing for Karbon Homes, said: “This is a fantastic site, close to the centre of Hexham, and we are really pleased to be bringing this project forward.
“My team has already been receiving expressions of interest in the shared ownership apartments, and we’re happy to hear from anybody who would like to hear more about this stunning development.”
Mike Brown, commercial director for Tolent, said: “As one of the leading housing providers in the region, we are pleased to partner with Karbon Homes, in their quest to deliver quality homes across the North East and Yorkshire. Tolent share the same values around delivering quality homes, services and engagement within the communities we work, and we are looking forward to completing this exciting development at St. Cuthbert’s Close, Hexham.”
Work on St Cuthbert’s Close is led by Karbon with Tolent as main contractor, supported by consultants Hall and Partners and 3E Consulting Engineers.
The new homes on the St Cuthbert’s Close site will form part of Karbon Homes’ regionwide development programme which will see the business invest in building at least 500 new homes a year throughout its five year Strong Foundations’ strategy.
The organisation provides a range of ways for customers to access homes, from homes to buy and shared ownership, to affordable housing, social housing, and supported and specialised housing
