Four new affordable homes have been handed over to local community landlord, North Devon Homes at a new development off Birch Road, Landkey.
The new homes, built by local renowned developer Pearce Construction, comprise two two-bedroom houses and two three-bedroom houses, all of which will be available for social rent, helping to meet local housing need in the parish.
Paul Scovell, Development Manager of North Devon Homes was at the official handover. He said, “We are delighted to take ownership of these new affordable homes at Long Close in Landkey. This marks another important step in our commitment to increasing the supply of affordable housing across North Devon. These high-quality homes will provide secure, affordable places to live for local people who need them most. This partnership working with our trusted partner, Pearce Construction, enables us to continue to invest in our communities and deliver homes where people want to live.”
Nick Hopkins, Homes Director at Pearce Construction, added, “Long Close, is an impressive development of 20 two, three and four bedroom homes in the village Landkey. Each property has been built to a high-quality specification and benefits from off-street parking, EV charging points and air source heat pumps, supporting more sustainable and energy-efficient living. Internally, the homes offer spacious living accommodation, with light-filled living areas and French doors opening onto private rear gardens, creating practical and comfortable family homes. We’re proud to have worked in partnership with North Devon Homes to deliver these high-quality, energy-efficient homes for local people in housing need.”
This is the latest successful collaboration between North Devon Homes and Pearce Construction, building on a long-standing working relationship. The handover demonstrates North Devon Homes’ ongoing commitment to investing in new affordable housing, supporting sustainability, and working in partnership to create communities where people want to live.
The four homes will be let through Devon Home Choice, and an initial preference will be given to applicants with housing need living in Landkey or with a strong local connection.
