Housebuilder acquires land for £35m scheme
Avant Homes has purchased 11.5-acres of land to deliver a £35m development of 135 houses in Desborough.
Located just off Buxton Drive and Eyam Close, Avant Homes secured planning approval from Kettering Borough Council in March.
The development will feature a collection of two, three and four-bedroom properties across 16 house designs.
Of the 135 homes, 30% will be designated to affordable housing. The developer will also make a community contribution of £1.4m towards the local area including education, public open space and play areas, highways works, town centre improvements, libraries, and public transport.
Initial groundworks are due to start in the coming months with the first homes set to be launched for sale in autumn and the showhome to follow shortly after.
The first residents are expected to move into their new homes by the end of 2022. The total approximate build length of the development will be three and a half years.
Avant Homes Midlands managing director, Rob Slocombe, said: “We’re very pleased to have acquired this land and see our plans approved to deliver the 135-home development.
“Desborough is a highly desirable location, and our development will form a natural extension of the residential area west of the town centre. We look forward to moving our plans forward with the commencement of groundworks at the site in the coming weeks.”
