New affordable homes in Yelvertoft

yelvertoft site plan

We'll be starting construction of five new affordable homes in the village of Yelvertoft in late spring 2024.

The five much-needed affordable properties - due to be ready in December 2024 - be prioritised for people with a connection to Yelvertoft.


Spacious and low-carbon affordable homes

The homes will built to national space standards and will incorporate the latest in air source heating technology.

The air source heat pumps are eco-friendly, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and also provide lower cost heating, compared to traditional electric heating systems found in many off-gas rural homes. This will help to keep energy bills low for residents, which in times of significant energy cost increases, is more important than ever to help challenge fuel poverty.


Who else is involved?

Whiterock Homes will be building the homes. 

We're grateful to Homes England for their £420,400 funding, and to West Northamptonshire Council and Yelvertoft Parish Council for their support.
