Situated on a 4.7-acre brownfield site on the outskirts of the town, Homewood Grove will consist of 116 one, two and three bed apartments.

Construction is scheduled to be completed in Spring 2024.

The properties will be highly energy efficient and will include modern features such as underfloor heating, double-glazed picture windows and an all-electric energy system to help lower bills and reduce the environmental impact.

Electric car charging points, an electric pool car as well as communal transport will all be available for residents’ use.
