Work begins to transform former warehouse into homes

Work has begun on Swing Bridge Wharf, a residential development in Moira, by developer Wheatcroft Land under its new residential brand, Wheatcroft Homes.

The site of a former warehouse, in the heart of the National Forest, will be turned into nine homes.

Catherine Haward, director of Wheatcroft Land and Wheatcroft Homes, said: “Interest in Swing Bridge Wharf has already been strong, even though we’re only just putting the first spade in the ground. This is a really unique location and one that we’re really excited about seeing completed. There’s easy access to country parks, nature walks, cycle walks and even boat trips at the Moira Furnace Museum.

Swing Bridge Wharf is due to be completed in time for Christmas 2019.
