Ben Yallop, Land Director (North) at Croudace Homes said,
“We are pleased to announce a new partnership with Thrive Homes at our Weavers Gate development, which will provide 32 new affordable homes. Not only will affordable and social rent tenures help meet local housing needs, but the inclusion of shared ownership homes will support first time buyers onto the property ladder at a more accessible price point. Weavers Gate will provide quality new homes to the local area, and we look forward to growing the community here.”
Situated close to Codicote High Street and with excellent transport links – including direct trains to London Kings Cross in just over 30 minutes from nearby Welwyn station – the development offers residents convenient access to local amenities, green spaces, medical centres, and schools.
Aligned with Thrive Homes’ commitment to energy-efficient housing, the homes will feature sustainable technology including air source heat pumps.
Construction is underway, with the first homes ready for occupation from late 2025 and final completion expected by June 2026.
Chantelle Barker, Development Director at Thrive Homes said,
"We are excited to work with Croudace Homes as their affordable housing provider. This partnership marks another step towards achieving our ambitions for growth, as we continue to deliver quality new affordable homes our operating area."
Thrive Homes will launch the sale of the 11 homes for shared ownership off-plan in Spring 2025 and will initially offer priority to those with a local connection.
