WORK is set to start on an £11 million housing development in Wychbold.

House builder Persimmon Homes says it is due to begin work on the new Elmbridge Gardens site in Wychbold in the new year.

The developer says the site will feature a mix of homes to suit a range of buyers, with a central green providing a centre piece.

Richard Oldroyd, managing director of Persimmon Homes South Midlands, said: “This is an exciting new development in an attractive village which has excellent access to the motorway network in the Midlands.

“We are confident that the range of properties on offer will appeal to families just starting out as well as those looking to move to a bigger home with more space.

“At the heart of the scheme is a central open space called The Green, which includes a pond, natural play area and orchard. It will make a magnificent centrepiece to a development which will have family life at its heart.”

Work will start in January, with a show home due to open on site in June 2014.
