Work to start this year on 32 new homes

Macbryde Homes has confirmed that work will start before the end of this year on 32 new homes on a site off Hawarden Road in Penyffordd, near Chester.

Planning was granted by Flintshire Council earlier this year and the St-Asaph-based housebuilder has now exchanged on the purchase of the site allowing work to start imminently.

The development, named Oak Meadow, will comprise of a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes and will appeal to first-time buyers, young families and professionals looking to commute to nearby Chester.

Ten of the homes will be designated as affordable.

Macbryde Homes managing director, Gwyn Jones, said: “We are delighted to now have all legalities confirmed allowing us to move forward with development on site.”

The Penyffordd announcement further bolsters the strength of Macbryde Homes’ current development pipeline.

Mr Jones said: “We’ve made no secret of our ambitious plans to secure at least one sales outlet in each of the North Wales local authority areas. This year alone we’ve started work on-site in Rhuddlan, Dyserth and Mold and we’re delighted to be adding Penyffordd to that list.

“We’re not, however, resting on our laurels and anticipate being able to make further announcements for new developments across the region over the coming weeks.”
