Mapperley to receive luxury eco-home development

A Nottingham based building contractor is facilitating the development of twelve new high specification eco-houses in Mapperley, as further proof that the number of house build projects in England is on the increase.

DL Rhodes & Son Ltd are building the luxury houses on Woodborough Road on behalf of Bailey Rhodes Ltd boasting solar panels and air source heat pumps.

Following the recession and the huge decline in the housing development sector, the number of start up building developments has increased dramatically in the past year, with building starts in England being estimated at 40,300 in the March quarter 2015- A 31 per cent increase compared to the previous quarter.

Managing Director at DL Rhodes & Son Ltd, Nigel Rhodes, said: “We are delighted to announce our latest project this time with Bailey Rhodes Ltd, it is a high end project that will bring 12 luxury five or six bedroom houses to the area. The work started in September with completion of the project due in 18 to 24 months, On this site we are not looking for a quick completion but are looking for attention to detail.

“The development site is a large piece of attractive land backing onto Mapperley Park, it is a prestigious piece of land that was very sort after. We have decided to make all of the properties eco-houses so they will include air source heat pumps for heating, solar panels on roofs and under floor heating on the ground and first floors.“

DL Rhodes & Son are completing the project on behalf of Bailey Rhodes Ltd and is already in talks with a local agent to start marketing the properties early next year.

Mr Rhodes added: “It is always nice to undertake developments that we have a vested interest in. The foundations are already being put in and we believe that all parties will be happy with the final project.“
