Countryside Properties
Countryside Properties are building 460 homes at the Northern Arc, over 50% of them as affordable housing.
All apartment bocks in phase one are now under construction and we are due to start a further 16 plots this spring. We’re building them with timber frames as part of our plans to use sustainable materials where possible. Brickworks have begun and some of these apartments are now being painted.
The construction of the main spine road through the site will soon be complete. the last remaining section will tie into main bridge works between the Countryside and Sisk sites.
The first homes, all of which are affordable housing and delivered by Sage Housing, are expected to be ready for people to move in by late spring this year. The homes will range from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom family homes, including properties for those aged 55 plus and fully wheelchair-accessible homes. There will be a mixture of homes for rent and for shared ownership (part-buy, part-rent)
