Lagan Homes is proud to announce that its boutique development, Anchor Wharf in Polesworth, has been shortlisted for the ‘Best Development – up to 3-storeys’ category by the Inside Housing Awards. These awards, celebrated across the UK, honour residential developments that prioritise sustainability while addressing the needs of the communities they serve.
The winners will be revealed live at a prestigious awards ceremony in September, where the nation’s top developments will be celebrated. The selection process involves a panel of expert judges, with the next stage including site visits to evaluate the shortlisted entries.
Nestled in the picturesque village of Polesworth, Anchor Wharf is a carefully curated enclave featuring just 40 homes. This development seamlessly blends luxury with inclusivity, offering 24 open-market residences alongside 16 affordable homes available through the Discount Market Sale (DMS) scheme. Anchor Wharf’s diverse housing options foster a vibrant and cohesive community, ensuring that residents from all walks of life can find a place they can call home.
The announcement of this shortlisting coincides with a surge in demand for DMS homes, which include a variety of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom options. Through this scheme, eligible buyers can purchase homes at a significant discount of 20%-30% off the full market price, providing a more affordable pathway for local residents to step onto the property ladder or advance in their property journey. While the first release of DMS homes has already sold out, there is a growing waiting list for the second and final release, set for late 2024.
Anchor Wharf caters to a broad spectrum of homebuyers, including first-time buyers, downsizers, and individuals with reduced mobility. This inclusive approach ensures that everyone can find a comfortable and suitable home within the community. The development’s commitment to sustainability, affordability, and inclusivity highlights Lagan Homes’ dedication to meeting the diverse needs of homeowners.
The development also stands out for its eco-friendly living and innovative construction methods, which combine environmental responsibility with long-term durability at an affordable price. Standard features on a selection of homes like Air Source Heat Pumps, EV charging points, and PV solar panels reduce environmental impact, increase energy independence, and add value to each home.
Residents of Anchor Wharf will also benefit from ample outdoor space, including large gardens and an attenuation feature designed to support local protected species. Situated close to the scenic Coventry Canal, which borders the development, the area offers residents the opportunity to connect with nature through leisurely strolls along the water’s edge.
Tracy Lively-Moore, Sales Manager at Lagan Homes, expressed her excitement: “We are delighted to see the unique community offering recognised at Anchor Wharf through our shortlisting at the Inside Housing Awards this year. We eagerly await the ceremony in September.”
Once completed, Anchor Wharf will feature 40 homes, with prices starting at £345,000.
