Second Phase Released At Annfield Plain Site

Following a successful first phase launch in late December, Gleeson Homes is now offering a second collection of homes at its Greencroft View development in the village on Annfield Plain in County Durham.

In total, there will be 87 affordable homes delivered here, and with prices from £120,995 for a three-bedroom home, Greencroft View has already proved to be highly desirable for local people, especially amongst first-time buyers and young families, with 80% of homes released reserved within a matter of days.

The government-backed Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme, which is available on the development, ensures that many of the homes cost less than local rent levels. Further homes will be released for sale throughout 2021, with the first homeowners expected to move in this Spring.

Ed Alder, operations director at Gleeson said: “We are delighted to be bringing these much-needed new homes to County Durham, an area where we have seen great success providing our traditionally built, affordable homes. At the heart of the community, our new homes at Greencroft View will serve local people, including young, first-time buyers and low- to mid-income families, giving young people the opportunity to make their first steps onto the property ladder.

“Gleeson builds homes that are genuinely affordable, providing customers with the opportunity for wealth creation through home ownership. 86% of our customers are first-time buyers, with three out of four of all buyers being under the age of 35.”

Gleeson’s flagship development in County Durham, Middlestone Meadows in Spennymoor, will deliver 333 homes and currently has four show homes, a large sales centre and the company’s first Centre of Excellence. The Centre of Excellence will primarily be used as a training delivery centre, strengthening the skills of Gleeson employees and sub-contractors in the area, synergising with Gleeson’s push on facilitating training and development opportunities for all employees across the business.

Alder continued: “Free from the usual daily distractions, noise and elements which are usually encountered on a site, our Centre of Excellence at Middlestone Meadows has been positively received by all users and has undoubtably contributed to better quality on site, along with enhanced working by site operatives, whilst developing the skills of our talented team, following our recent achievement of becoming a five-star housebuilder.”

Throughout the duration of the build, Gleeson will be creating many employment opportunities for local people and sub-contractors in the area and will be contributing a total £87,000 towards nearby public open spaces, helping to build communities and opportunities for local people.
