The first phase of this development - 16 spacious two- and three-bedroom homes - was completed in November, with tenants receiving their keys in time for Christmas. The second phase, a further 16 homes, has now also been advertised for bidding. The full development of 70 homes will include generous green spaces and pedestrian-friendly areas, creating a safe and welcoming environment for residents and visitors.
