mhs homes completed the first of three phases of a regeneration project in the Brook area of Chatham town centre last week. A total of 19 new affordable rented homes have been completed with a mixture of two bedroom houses and one and two bedroom apartments. The contemporary development replaces seven post-war prefabricated 'spaceway' bungalows and a block of flats with new modern and spacious accomodation. Picture Credit: mhs homes As part of a £12 million investment in the area, mhs homes are also building new homes on the site of a former garage site off Upbury Way, and on Cross Street. The Great Lines Mews on Upbury Way is a boutique collection of five one and two bedroom apartments for affordable rent and three two bedroom houses for shared ownership. This phase will feature green living roofs to soften the view of the development from the Great Lines Heritage Park.
The final phase of the regeneration programme in the area is now well underway, with demolition of a former sheltered scheme currently taking place in Cross Street. The development at this location will deliver 50 new stylish apartments, at a prime location with fantastic access to the town centre. This phase - being the largest of the three - will bring the total number of new homes across the Brook area to 77 units. The new homes at Eldon Street were built by Chartway Group, and bptw partnership was the architect for all three schemes. The regeneration project commenced thanks to over £300,000 of grant funding from the Homes and Communities Agency. Comments are closed.
