- Holmewood families will have chance to live in the energy efficient new build homes
- Properties will include solar panels and EV charging points
- The affordable homes have been purchased by Rykneld Homes
Families in Holmewood and the surrounding areas will have the chance to live in one of 39 new build energy efficient properties after Rykneld Homes recently exchanged on the purchase of the homes.
Currently being built on the Earl’s Park development in Holmewood, the homes are the first purchase as part of Rykneld’s new partnership with Avant Homes. They have been acquired as part of the section 106 scheme for affordable homes allocation on the development.
Local families will be able to bid on the 30 three-bed homes and nine two-bed homes. The first 27 homes will be available for rent in 2026, the remaining 12 will be ready for customers to move into in 2027.
Helen Brown, Head of Regeneration at Rykneld Homes, said: “We’re excited to be able to offer our customers the opportunity to live on the new Earl’s Park development.
“The properties are high-quality, modern, energy-efficient family homes and will be an important part of meeting the local social housing need in Holmewood.
“The new homes are also evidence of our ongoing commitment to add properties to our existing stock.”
The houses will be built to a high specification and will benefit from solar panels and EV charging points.
Avant Homes has its headquarters in Barlborough, near Chesterfield, and operates across the Midlands, north of England and Scotland.
The housebuilder’s ambition is to grow its multi-tenure business further across its existing regions and beyond.
Avant Homes Group head of affordable housing delivery, Phil Lacey, commented: “This is our first deal with Rykneld Homes, and we hope it will be the first of many.
“It is a further great example of the success of Avant Homes’ multi-tenure strategy which is focused on helping deliver new houses to the people who need them most.”
Earl’s Park is a 247-home development, on Tibshelf Road, surrounded by stunning Derbyshire countryside, with the Five Pits Trail on the edge of the site.
On the outskirts of Chesterfield, the properties are in a peaceful setting with excellent connections to nearby towns and cities.
