An exciting development where we are building 75 new homes for social rent on a historic needle and thread manufacturing site.
The scheme is in a prominent location next to Redditch train station consisting of a apartment block and row of Townhouses facing onto Edward Street. It is part of larger development of 94 homes and office space for Redditch Co-operative Homes.
Victoria Works is a 100% affordable new housing scheme of 75 dwellings and is located on the site known as Victoria Works which is bounded by Britten Street to the west and Edward Street to the east and in close proximity to the train station. Until very recently, the majority of the site was occupied by a large rectangular, flat-roofed grey brick warehouse building.
This development offers a range of housing options, the apartment block comprises 49 flats in total with a mix of 19 1-bed and 30 2-bed apartments plus additional space for plant equipment and bike storage, whilst the two rows of townhouses accommodate 20 2-bed and 6 3-bed houses. The externals and landscaping have been carefully designed to enhance the character of the scheme with the use of block paving, timber slatted bin shelters and soft landscaping and planting.
All properties have been designed with modern living in mind and will be built using energy-efficient timber panels, manufactured at our state-of-the-art LoCaL Homes facility in Walsall.
The townhouses will include:
- Undercroft parking spaces
- Ground floor utility rooms
- Electric vehicle charging points
Residents living in the apartments will have access to electric vehicle charging points in the communal car park. Secure, rainproof bicycle storage will also be available on site.
In summary, Victoria Works is an ambitious scheme which has been thoughtfully designed and detailed to a high standard, which will surely lift the character of the area once built through its contemporary design and innovative approach whilst tying up with the context and respecting the local industrial heritage.
These properties will be managed by Redditch Co-operative Homes, to find out more please click here.
