It is always rewarding to see a new community come to life, but even more so when the effort behind it gets recognised on a national stage.
We are delighted to share that our Mossylea development in Middleton has been named among the Inside Housing Development Award finalists in two categories. Here is why this affordable new development caught the judges' attention.
What awards has Mossylea been shortlisted for?
Our Mossylea development has been shortlisted as a finalist for both Best Affordable Housing Development – Suburban and Best Shared Ownership Development – Rural / Suburban at the Inside Housing Development Awards.
With a record number of entries in the affordable housing category alone, being named among the top nine development award finalists in both categories is a fantastic achievement. It recognises the care, quality and attention to detail that have gone into creating Mossylea.
Transforming a local site into a brand new neighbourhood
Built in partnership with First Choice Homes Oldham, our Mossylea development was designed to bring a disused former school plot back into local use. The result is a traditional, distinctive development of 29 red-brick homes that feels naturally suited to its surrounding area.
The development offers a range of two-bedroom bungalows and two-bedroom and three-bedroom houses. Out of the 29 properties, 21 were set aside for affordable rent, with eight offered through shared ownership, giving local residents an easier route into buying or renting a high-quality new home.
Built with lower running costs in mind
Every single property on the Mossylea development achieved a top-tier Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of A, which ensures the new homes will be efficient to run long term.
To reach that high standard, each home was equipped with integrated solar panels to generate green energy on-site, enhanced insulation to retain warmth, modern efficient heating systems, and dedicated electric vehicle charging points.
When will the category winners be announced?
The winners will be announced at the Inside Housing Development Awards ceremony at the InterContinental O2 in London on 24th November. However, win or lose on the night, seeing Mossylea settled and occupied by local individuals and families remains the best outcome of all.
