Work underway on £5.5m Chesterfield housing development

Rockliffe Homes has begun work on a £5.5m development that will result in 37 new homes being built in Brimington, Chesterfield.

Ringwood Meadows, which consists of a mix of two, three and four bedroom homes, has progressed thanks to financial backing from the Homes & Communities Agency by way of the £3bn House Building Fund.

Local estate agent Wilkins Vardy has been appointed to oversee sales.

Contractor Atkinson Construction Group is now on site building the houses, with the first phase of the scheme scheduled for completion in 2017. Available to purchase through the Government’s Help to Buy scheme, the site will address the “very pressing” need for more housing in and around Chesterfield.

“Ringwood Meadows is ideally located close to local amenities including everything the Hollingwood Hub has to offer, whilst also bordering beautiful, open countryside,” said Rockliffe Homes’ Managing Director Anuj Joshi.

“Furthermore, this scheme is on track to provide families and young professionals with access to well appointed, quality homes that are designed to address the shortage of properties here in Chesterfield.

“We are also delighted to be able to offer the Help to Buy scheme to purchasers which is a fantastic initiative dedicated to helping people who are looking to make their way onto the first rung of the property ladder to fulfil their ambitions.”

The company has secured additional funding from the Homes and Communities Agency which will allow it to acquire and develop new sites in the region with a focus on bringing high quality homes to areas experiencing a housing shortage.
