National property consultancy Carter Jonas, acting on behalf of Noble Foods Ltd, has sold a residential development site at Bilsthorpe Moor in Nottinghamshire to Harron Homes North Midlands.
Harron Homes, which is based in Barlborough near Chesterfield, specialises in developing new homes across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire.
An egg packaging factory and poultry farm previously occupied the site and has since become surplus to requirements.
Carter Jonas achieved outline planning permission for the 13.5 acre (5.46 ha) site, allowing for the development of 136 homes. The site was then marketed and Harron was selected as the preferred developer to pursue reserved matters planning consent. The proposed scheme will provide a mix of house types and sizes including detached and semi-detached properties and townhouses.
Steven Soper, associate in Carter Jonas’ Leeds office, said: “This development site is in a great location, approximately 8 miles from Mansfield, 12 miles from Newark on Trent and 15 miles from Nottingham, and in close proximity to Sherwood Forest Center Parcs, Rufford Abbey and Country Club. With a good range of amenities, we expect the development to be very popular with families and first-time buyers.”
Nick Hague, land director for Harron Homes North Midlands, said: “This is an ideally situated site which complements our portfolio of handpicked locations in places people want to call home. Named Bilsthorpe Chase, our development will bring a mix of high quality two, three, four and five bedroom homes to market. Construction work is currently underway and we hope to have a show home ready to open in April.”
Construction work has begun and the first homes are due to be available from October.
