Homes development sold in £1.1m deal

Caedmon Homes has sold 14 affordable homes to Wakefield District Housing (WDH) in a deal worth £1.1m.

The Priory Meadows development at Kirby Hill, near Boroughbridge, was launched in March and the houses are due for completion by the end of the year. Altogether Caedmon Homes are building 34 houses at the development, in the heart of the village.

Caedmon is the residential development arm of North Yorkshire-based property company Norstar Real Estate Group.

Paul Brown, director of Caedmon Homes, said: “This deal is a resounding endorsement of Priory Meadows. We are very proud of our scheme, which offers a variety of new homes in this popular North Yorkshire village. We believe the attention to detail, including design and specification, really sets Priory Meadows apart from the competition.

“We are particularly pleased to have contributed to the provision of affordable housing in the Boroughbridge area, which is relatively affluent and where house prices can be out of the reach of those of low incomes.”

Andy Hollings of WDH added: “The Kirby Hill site was allocated to us through Harrogate District Council’s Joint Commissioning initiative. We then worked closely and effectively with Caedmon Homes to ensure the success of the deal.

“The 14 houses will be allocated by Harrogate Borough Council to local people in housing need. All the potential residents will have local connections to the Boroughbridge area.”

Caedmon Homes are also masterminding new state-of-the-art developments in the Groves area of York and at Whitby, close to the centre of the historic town.
