Land deal paves way to 50 new homes at Alderley Park
Cheshire housebuilder Jones Homes has acquired 6.3 acres of land at Alderley Park, where it will build 50 homes.
The deal was completed in February for an undisclosed sum.
Known as Alderley Gardens, the scheme will be spread over two sites within the 400-acre Alderley Park country estate.
Jones Homes, part of the Emerson Group based under two miles away in Alderley Edge, said it will build 33 homes on vacant land which was historically used as a kitchen garden.
The remaining 17 homes will be built in the former walled garden which sits on adjoining land.
The company secured planning consent for the development of three-, four- and five-bedroom homes in December.
Mark Emerson Jones, deputy chairman of The Emerson Group, said: “Jones Homes will take great pride in delivering the sensitive redevelopment of a key site within this attractive parkland setting.
“Jones Homes is known for creating homes of exceptional quality and design, and this hallmark will be identifiable at Alderley Gardens.
“We have a long heritage in Cheshire and have earned a reputation for building attractive developments which take an architectural lead from the area.”
He added: “At Alderley Gardens there will be a blend of traditional and contemporary designs to echo the new and converted listed buildings which now sit within Alderley Park.”
Alderley Park includes a gymnasium, sports and leisure facilities, a pub, restaurants and coffee shops.
As part of the planning approval, Jones Homes will contribute £700,083 in the form of a Community Infrastructure Levy. The developer will also set aside 15% of the homes at Alderley Gardens for key workers to reserve at a discounted price.
Alderley Gardens is under 10 miles away from the M6 and eight miles from Manchester Airport. Local shopping and leisure facilities such as The Trafford Centre and The Arndale Centre are also just under 20 miles away.
The first homes at Alderley Gardens are expected to be released for sale in the summer.
