Healthy demand for modern twist on back-to-back housing model

The first phase of the Sky-House development at the Waverley Regeneration site in South Yorkshire is now completely sold.

The development on land close to both Sheffield and Rotherham is part of an ambitious campaign funded by Homes England’s Home Building Fund.
The project – with prices starting at about £183,567 – is based around the back-to-back housing model created by the architects at Sheffield’s CODA Studios.

Sky-House’s 21st century take on back-to-back housing creates eco-friendly homes complete with signature roof gardens, terraces and expansive windows.

Following the sales success of the first phase, an application is to be submitted to Rotherham Council for a second development of a further 44 properties alongside the current Waverley site at Lescar Road at Catcliffe.

At the same time, Sky-House Co has already been given approval to create 35 of its Sky-House homes as part of the redeveloped British Tissues site in Oughtibridge

That development will consist of 24 three-bedroom Sky Houses, six more three bed end-terraces along with a further five four-bed riverside properties. The site’s old Mill Cottages will also be converted into four apartments and a cottage.

In nearby Stocksbridge, the company is preparing for the creation of seven three-bedroom town houses – all with their own terraces and parking spaces – on the site of the former Peggy Tub social club in New Road.

The Sky-House Co was founded by CODA chairman David Cross and property developer Philip Prince of Broadfield Holdings.

Sales enquiries are being dealt with by the Land & New Homes department of Sheffield estate agency Redbrik.

Cross said: “We have been overwhelmed by the response to Sky-House and are delighted that the first phase of Waverley is now completely sold out.

“Even with the lockdown, there was no decline in interest – in fact, Redbrik has seen online impressions for Sky-House triple the branch average.

“Online enquiries have surged prior to our Oughtibridge launch – we have already had 30 enquiries for this beautiful riverside development so once again we are confident that we have another winner on our hands.

“Sky-House has taken a traditional concept and given it a 21st century twist that is both unique and exciting, a fresh approach to property.”
