Building work has started on a new housing development, which is being built on the site of a former welfare club.
The site in Annesley has been vacant since 2009 and will be home to 45 new homes.
Michael Taggart, chief executive officer at Taggart Homes, the firm responsible for the development, said: “We are pleased to be progressing with Forest Park which will reinvigorate and breathe new life into an unused area in Annesley, in a wonderful, central location in the village. It is an exciting new development that will bring forward sought-after homes in an excellent location."
Due for completion by winter 2021, the site in Derby Road will feature seven different property types including semi-detached and detached homes. Priced from £245,000 to £260,000, homes will be eligible for the Help to Buy scheme.
Tim Downing, director at Pygott & Crone in Nottingham, who will be marketing the site, said: “We are really looking forward to marketing this fantastic new development of much needed houses in the area. The quality of Taggart Homes’ offering will set a new benchmark in the region of how new homes should be built. We already have a large number of interested parties looking to reserve."
Taggart Homes is working alongside Core Architects and Ashfield District Council to deliver this scheme.
