Winchester City Council has recently agreed the purchase of 10 new affordable homes in the village of Twyford. Work has begun on site for the 22 unit scheme in Hazeley Road, Twyford being developed by Alfred Homes.

The 10 homes that the council has agreed to buy, will provide a mix of affordable rented and shared ownership homes which will be offered first to people who have a connection with the local area.

If you are interested in one of the homes for shared ownership from Winchester City Council, please email sales@winchester.gov.uk or phone 01962 848 075.

A new housing scheme for Winchester City Council at Winnall Flats is underway, with completion planned for 2023. The new flats, which will be accredited to Passivhaus low energy building standard will provide a total of 73 new flats in two new blocks and three new houses, and will make an important contribution to making the activities of the Council carbon neutral by 2024 and for the District as a whole to be carbon neutral by 2030.

A major feature of the scheme is the upgrading of the public open space around the existing four blocks on the site (Braxton, Craddock, Dennett and Earle Houses), by changing the previous car-dominated areas to a more people focussed environment – making it more pleasant to walk around the site and also making space for a new pocket park to encourage positive resident interactions.

As part of the scheme, there will be 35 shared ownership  homes,which have been designed by T2 Architects and Ubu Landscape architects.

The new homes are being constructed by Wates Construction, who interestingly built the original flats on the site in the 1960s.

More information shared ownership and available properties can be found on The Orchids Website. If you are interested in one of the homes for shared ownership from Winchester City Council, please email sales@winchester.gov.uk or phone 01962 848 075.
