Work has begun on the construction of 5 new affordable homes for rent in Salthouse, prioritised for locals from the village and nearby areas.

Households in housing need with a local connection will get priority allocation. There will also be one house for sale. Proceeds from this sale will generate surplus funds to cover the costs of developing the scheme in the style of the village (which Government funding does not provide).

Design

The homes will be in a sympathetic design in the style of a converted farmyard, using extensive use of flint to blend into Salthouse’s Conservation area and timber framing.

The scheme will comprise of 5 affordable rent homes:

• 2 x 2-bedroom bungalows
• 1 x 2-bedroom house
• 2 x 3-bedroom houses

Environmental

This new development is designed to be operationally carbon net zero. These homes will have air source heat pumps, treble glazed windows, enhanced insulation and air tightness, along with mechanical ventilation. Solar panels will provide renewable energy, and each home will have its own electric vehicle charging point.
