With a mix of property types and sizes, the scheme is aimed at a variety of households including singles and couples, families with dependent children and older aged households or potentially those with disabilities requiring accessible facilities.
Godmanchester sits within Huntingdon District Council area. Neighbouring Huntingdon, Godmanchester is an attractive historical small town, with a range of amenities, including shops, schools, and health and leisure services.
The site is located between an existing 1950s housing estate and the newer extension to the town, which has seen hundreds of new homes, a Primary School and shops built over the last 5-10 years.
This scheme was built in partnership with Seagate Homes.
There is a mix of house types and sizes, with 1,2 and 3 bed homes including maisonettes, bungalows and houses. The two bungalows are being built to M4(3) standards which means they are wheelchair user dwellings that can be easily adapted to suit more specific needs if required. A number of the houses are being built to M4(2) standards which means that they will be accessible for most people and are capable of adaptation if required.
This scheme delivers energy efficient homes in an area with high demand for affordable housing, with all units achieving an EPC ‘A’ rating. Super levels of thermal insulation, high efficiency gas boiler and a small array of photovoltaic panels on the roof are provided.
