Affordable homes completed in town centre

An affordable homes project has been completed in Beverley with tenants set to get their hands on the keys within the next month.

The four-storey building on Chantry Lane, Beverley offers 16 flats. The development – named Charlton House – was constructed using trusted modern methods of construction.

The flats offer a range of one, two and three bedrooms and will provide East Riding of Yorkshire Council with affordable rented accommodation in the town centre which will be let to households on the council’s waiting list.

The overall project cost of Charlton House was £2.6m and it occupies a site which had been empty for a number of years.

The council’s in-house building design team, together with contractors Lovel Developments, were tasked with delivering the project.

Councillor Kerri Harold, portfolio holder for public health and tackling inequalities at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “Affordable housing projects such as Charlton House are really important in the East Riding and we are very proud to see the end product after many months of hard work.

“The location is fantastic with it being so close to Flemingate and the town centre and I’m sure the tenants will be very pleased with the facilities they find available to them when they move in over the next few months.

“The demand for housing in Beverley is always high and the block offers good, proportioned accommodation in the centre of town with parking.”
