Tilia completed the purchase
of the 4.5-acre extension to the development in April, marking the fourth and
final phase at Westhill. The construction of the homes will start imminently
and will see the completion of 59 private properties and 47 affordable homes
including a mix of one- and two-bedroom maisonettes, two-bedroom bungalows and
two, three and four-bedroom houses.
Construction at Westhill
began in 2014 and over 350 homes have been completed to date. As well as new
homes, phase four at the development will deliver Section 106 contributions to
local education, infrastructure and leisure, totalling approximately £670,000.
James Griffiths, Head of Planning at Tilia
Homes Eastern, said: “Tilia Homes has been developing at Westhill for approximately
eight years, formerly under our Kier Living brand, and we have completed the
build on two phases to date.
“The purchase of the final phase here is
significant for our business as we seek to continue our investment in
Northamptonshire, bringing new homes as well as significant financial support
to the town.
“We’re looking forward to releasing our
new plots to the public later this year and seeing our prolonged commitment to
the development come fully to fruition.”
Westhill is ideally situated to make use
of its excellent travel connections. The A14, just half a mile away, takes
travellers and commuters east and west to the A1 and M1 motorways. While Kettering
station, just a 3-minute drive away, can get you to London St Pancras in 56
minutes or Leicester in 23 minutes.
While the new homes provide the
foundations for family life, the local schools deliver a first-class education
with an array of schools to choose from. From Hall Meadow Primary to Bishop
Stopford School, students have an excellent choice of local education in
Kettering, and all within a 3-mile radius.
The town also offers a number of
amenities and leisure facilities, including an eight-screen Odeon cinema and
New York Thunderbowl bowling alley offering entertainment for the whole family.
