There will be 25 new homes up for sale in a North Yorkshire village soon after work has begun on the new build properties.
Broadacres Housing Association has assigned Esh Construction for the £6 million project in Hutton Rudby, on land off Garbutts Lane.
Once complete, the development will include ten three- and four-bedroom homes for affordable rent and shared ownership. Another 15 houses will be available to buy from Mulbery Homes Yorkshire.
Chris Hale, pre-construction director at Esh, said this initiative will “address the shortage of living options for the ageing population in Hutton Rudby”.
“We understand the importance of rural communities remaining both affordable and sustainable for current and future generations, while finding the balance in the design to ensure new homes blend into countryside living,” Mr Hale stated.
A recent housing needs survey revealed there was a strong demand for new properties in the local area, as many older residents want to be able to downsize without moving out of the village.
Despite being newbuilds, the properties have been designed to complement the aesthetic of the rural village. Therefore, the homes, which will include energy-efficient features, will not look out of place in the countryside location.
The current initiative will also offer those currently living in Hutton Rudby first preference when the affordable rent or shared ownership properties are allocated.
Broadacres completed a similar development last year, with people moving into their new houses in Huby, near Easingwold, last July.
Twelve new properties were constructed in the centre of Huby, including eight rented and four shared ownership homes. All of them were allocated to residents who had a connection to the area.
The £1.8 million investment was intended to help those who have been brought up in rural communities remain there, instead of having to move further afield for affordable accommodation.
Chief executive of Broadacres’ Gail Teasdale said: “Like our other schemes, they are providing much-needed homes for local people keen to remain in the areas where they grew up or work.”
She added: “It’s important that village communities like Huby remain sustainable for future generations and that’s why a development like this is so important.”
Broadacres’ strategy was so popular, it received support from Thirsk and Malton MP Kevin Hollinrake, who hailed the project as “fantastic”.
Without young people being able to afford properties in villages, they will only be occupied by elderly people, and could become irrelevant to future generations. However, these projects help to keep rural communities thriving.
The affordable housing specialist also prides itself in creating and refurbishing properties so that they remain in keeping with the rest of the village, particularly as Yorkshire is full of very picturesque communities with historic architecture.
It recently refurbished two 17th Century Almshouses, an old schoolmaster’s house and school room in the village of Burneston.
The Grade 2* listed properties, which were previously vacant, were updated to create new homes for villagers.
