New homes Huyton

Gleeson to bring 178 affordable, quality new homes to Huyton, Merseyside

Gleeson Homes has been granted planning permission to build 178 homes off Hillside Avenue in Huyton, Knowsley.

The development which will be known as Safari, will see the 14 acre plot be transformed into beautiful, high quality, low cost 2, 3 and 4 bedroom semi-detached and detached homes.

With house prices on the development anticipated to start from just £135,000 for a 2 bedroom home and various schemes such as the Government’s Help to Buy: Equity Loan available, Gleeson expect these homes to be highly desirable, especially amongst first time buyers and young families in the area.

Construction at Safari will begin in  in the new year and will span until November 2026. The development’s show homes will open in summer 2022 with the first new homes released for sale in spring 2022, and the first residents expected to move into their new home in summer 2022.

Gleeson will make several contributions to enrich the local community, including £357,000 towards biodiversity enhancement and infrastructure improvements. As part of their enhancements to local ecology Gleeson will be planting 60 trees in the North Huyton area. Gleeson will also construct a play area for local children to enjoy.

The Meadows at Rosebank, another Gleeson development in the area, providing 179 much-needed , affordable homes for young first time buyers has recently sold out. 

Arron Passarelli, Divisional Managing Director at Gleeson said: “We are delighted to be delivering 178 fantastic new homes to Huyton, an area where we are seeing great succss with our recent developments.

“We are pleased to be championing the area, supporting the community with our affordable homes, and employing a workforce on site that includes local labour and contractors. Our Section 106 donations will make a significant contribution in helping protect local wildlife and boost ecology with the replanting of 60 trees in the area. Crucially, we are determined to ensure that the housing market better serves young first time buyers and families on low to average incomes.”
