London & South East NHBC Awards

The Avenue gets underway

The Avenue in Aylesbury is a new housing development being built on a brownfield site, acquired from the NHS Stoke Mandeville Hospital.

The land is being redeveloped into a beautiful housing estate located in the heart of the town and is being constructed in phases.

The development is being constructed in five different phases, with work currently concentrating on Phase One and Five. Once completed there will be 330 units, comprising a mix of flats and three and four-bedroom houses.

A solar panel is being included on top of every house, whilst the internal fixtures and fittings give each house a beautiful and modern appearance.

Each house in The Avenue has its own individual front and back gardens and a driveway or integral garage to allow residents easy access to parking. Moreover, the apartments have a communal area for the occupants, making The Avenue a great advantage for the kids in the neighbouring area.

The development first began back in early 2009 and it is expected to be completed in April 2015, making it a sizeable on-going project for Kier Homes.

Kier Homes, the contractor for the new housing development, is well-known for its quality and attention to detail. The company is innovative and forward thinking with over 70 years’ experience in new homes construction.

The government is offering their Help to Buy policy for The Avenue. The scheme enables first time buyers the ability to purchase a property through a 5% deposit, making it even easier for the young buyers to be able to purchase one of the apartments or houses.

Andy Clements, project manager at Kier Homes, spoke of their recent NHBC Pride In The Job Award win:

“It is fantastic that we have won an NHBC award for The Avenue. We have been after this award for the past two or three years and each time we made sure that we were improving all the time and last year we were very close on receiving it. We are very pleased indeed about finally getting the award this year.”
