Modular Show Homes Open In Selby
Legal & General Modular Homes has announced that it has opened its brand new modular show homes to view by appointment at its Portholme scheme in Selby.
All 102 homes at this development have been built using precision engineering and high-quality sustainable materials from Legal & General’s modular factory in Sherburn in Elmet. There will be a mix of high-quality two- and three-bedroom houses, and one- and two-bedroom apartments. The scheme includes up to 30% affordable housing.
The new homes at Portholme, which have been developed in partnership with Selby District Council, exceed nationally described space standards and have been carefully designed to achieve Energy Performance Certificate Standard A, currently only attained by around 1% of new homes. A combination of photovoltaic cells and high-quality build standards will bring significant energy savings for residents of the new homes. Materials are sustainably sourced and the sensitive landscaping at Portholme also adds to biodiversity.
The homes are located on Portholme Road in the heart of the market town, just a short stroll to the historic Selby Abbey and the town’s high street shops, supermarkets, traditional pubs, and a lively selection of independent cafés and bars. This central position is only a 10-minute walk from the railway station, with mainline trains to Leeds, York and a direct service to London.
With a standardised approach to manufacturing, quality, efficiency and productivity is driven up, and costs are driven down. Modular construction can offer an impactful solution to the UK housing crisis, supporting UK jobs and helping to meet the government’s objective to build more affordable carbon-friendly housing. Together with this scheme in Selby and its other schemes in Bristol, Broadstairs and North Horsham, Legal & General Modular Homes’ pipeline is delivering 670 new homes.
Rosie Toogood, CEO of Legal & General Modular Homes, said: “Having seen these new homes being developed and built in our factory just up the road by local employees, it’s great to see them in place and becoming part of a community. The show homes look fantastic and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to see the high-quality sustainable homes that we have created.”
The sales and marketing suite and show homes are now open to the public on Wednesday to Monday. Viewings are currently by appointment only. The scheme is set for completion by the end of 2021, and first residents are looking to be welcomed into their new homes this autumn. Find out more at www.lifebuiltin.co.uk.
