Exciting news for Houlton residents and prospective homeowners! 🎉 Miller Homes is gearing up to make a big splash in our vibrant community with a brand-new development. A formal planning application (reference R25/0549) was recently published by Rugby Borough Council, revealing plans for 216 stunning new homes in Houlton. Let’s dive into the details and see what’s in store! 🧐
📍 Where’s It Happening?
The proposed development will sit at the bustling junction of Station Avenue and Houlton Way, just a stone’s throw from the Francis Jackson development and near the infamous slippy roundabout (you know the one! 😅). This prime location promises easy access to Houlton’s growing amenities and excellent connectivity, making it a hotspot for families, professionals, and everyone in between. 🚗💨
🏠 What’s Being Built?
Miller Homes is planning a diverse mix of 216 homes, designed to cater to a variety of lifestyles and needs. Here’s the breakdown:
- Apartments: Perfect for young professionals or those seeking low-maintenance living. 🏢
- Detached Homes: Spacious and ideal for growing families. 🏡
- Semi-Detached Homes: A great balance of space and affordability. 🏠
- Terraced Homes: Cozy and community-focused living. 🏘️
Nearly 50% of the homes will be 3-bedroom properties, offering ample space for families or those needing a home office (because who doesn’t love a dedicated Zoom room? 💻). Just over a quarter of the homes will be 1- or 2-bedroom properties, perfect for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone looking for a stylish, compact space. 😎
