Two Castles unveils latest development of affordable homes in South Lakeland
Affordable homes in Milnthorpe
Two Castles Housing Association is furthering its commitment to the provision of affordable homes with the launch of a new site in Milnthorpe, South Lakeland next month.
Harmony Hill is a development of ten properties available for rent, including four, two bedroom flats, four, two bedroom houses and two, three bedroom houses. Two Castles Housing Association has been working in partnership with South Lakeland District Council on the development.
Rob Brittain, property services director of Two Castles Housing Association, said: “There is a high demand for affordable housing in South Lakeland where many people are being forced to move out of the area due to high prices in the marketplace –more than ten times the average salary - and the demand for second or holiday homes.
“Two Castles is committed to providing high quality homes and we are delighted to have completed our work on Harmony Hill, which will bring much needed affordable homes to the area. We are currently working closely with South Lakeland District Council to identify people who are in the greatest housing need to ensure they are given priority for the properties.”
South Lakeland District Council made this former depot available to Two Castles Housing Association to provide much needed affordable housing to local people. The Council is delighted that the Association is due to complete the homes on target.
