East Herts Council and housing association, Paradigm Housing Group, have announced the handover of affordable homes at Limsi Grove, a brand new development built by Cala Homes, off Mangrove Road in Hertford.
Of the 68 homes, 27 on the site are affordable, with 20 being rented at an affordable rate to local people on the council’s housing register. The remaining seven are being sold on a shared ownership basis (part-buy, part-rent). The properties include one and two-bedroom flats and two and three-bedroom houses, with two of the two-bedroom flats having wheelchair access.
Limsi Grove is situated in the open countryside but is within easy walking distance of Hertford town centre with all its shops and amenities, including the brand new BEAM entertainment venue. Several schools are also nearby, affording children the opportunity to walk and cycle to and from class, whilst two train stations regularly offer services to London, as well as to other neighbouring towns.
Councillor Mione Goldspink, East Herts Executive Member for Neighbourhoods said, “I am delighted to be able to open the doors at Limsi Grove to the people of East Herts. The completion of this development is another milestone in the growth and evolution happening in our corner of Hertfordshire, offering new and affordable housing opportunities to our community.”
Martyn Jones, Executive Director of Development for Paradigm, said, “The East Herts Council housing team is really proactive, and understands the growing need to more affordable housing. Producing new neighbourhoods that actively add value to the Council's local communities is not easy, but it’s something we’re striving to do, and Limsi Grove is a perfect example. We’re thrilled that our relationship with the Council continues to go from strength to strength, allowing us all to provide more homes for those that need them the most.”
