Formerly a sugar beet factory, the 64-acre Allscott Meads site will comprise four one-bed homes, 31 two-beds, 160 three-beds, 39-four beds, and seven five-bed properties. 

Some 28 of these properties will be affordable homes, with prices set to begin at £175,000. 

Mike Sambrook, managing director at SJ Roberts, said: “When developing an entirely new community it is vital to create impact and we’re absolutely doing that at Allscott Meads.

“Our homes offer fantastic, market-beating, value per square metre, and an incredibly high entry-level specification that includes downlighters in bathrooms and kitchens, integrated fridge freezers, and rear-garden turfing at all property types amongst many other sought-after features.

“Our commitment to rewilding the site is another factor that has appealed to purchasers.  

“Once completed, Allscott Meads will boast not only hundreds of new trees, shrubs, and hedgerows, but also a perimeter nature trail that will appeal to residents of all ages, as well as pupils of the new primary school.  

“A pair of lagoon ponds with shingle beaches, will additionally provide a relaxing space for all residents.”
