The development will also include a number of amenities for both new and existing residents including a brand-new community centre, a large parkland area and additional outdoor spaces.

We are determined to deliver a significant impact to the local area and aim to create a new sense of place with open spaces, park facilities and a new community centre for everyone to enjoy,” said Michael O’Farrell, Regional Managing Director at Keepmoat Homes.
“We have a great team on-board who are driven to deliver high-quality housing and by using modern methods of construction, the new homes will be designed to support a range of prospective homeowners, from first-time buyers to those looking to up-size, as well as providing a much needed provision of more affordable homes. The launch of our marketing suite and new, stylish show home next week will give potential homebuyers a chance to explore the development and view our high specification homes.”
With the launch of the show home and marketing suite taking place on 13th February 2021, homebuyers will soon be able to step foot onto the development and view its three- bedroom show home for the first time. Viewings will be via appointment only.
