Residents’ Happiness: Families Move into New Homes at Guilsfield, Powys
Residents were welcomed into their new homes at Guilsfield near Welshpool this week. The properties, which include 28 timber-framed, energy-efficient houses and apartments, have been built by Williams Homes on behalf of ClwydAlyn, in partnership with Powys County Council and Welsh Government.
In the heart of Powys, are 28 recently completed homes. The new development is the result of a £8.7 million scheme, which has been built to provide access to affordable places to live, which are vital to the long-term sustainability of communities across Wales.
These high-quality, safe, warm homes, constructed with Welsh timber-frames, have been built with energy-efficiency in mind; ensuring that they will be economical to run and boast sustainable credentials.
Where possible, the construction has been done using locally sourced materials, and with a local workforce and suppliers; strengthening community ties and putting money into the local economy.
Families moving into these homes, many who have been awaiting a suitable and affordable place to live for many years, are thrilled to be able to stay connected with their local community; living, working, and contributing to the area which they call home.
“It’s been a battle as we were living in housing with carbon monoxide leakage so to be offered a home here has been a light at the end of the tunnel for us all.
“We love the whole thing and as our children have additional needs, the space of having four bedrooms will really benefit us. Our boys are autistic and were sharing a bedroom before, so to have their own rooms makes a massive difference.
“The garden is great and I’m speechless at everything! The house has everything we need.
“It is my daughter’s sixth birthday today, and I can’t think of a better present for her!”
“As a responsible landlord, we are committed to not only building homes; but creating places where families and individuals can truly thrive.
“These homes have been developed with sustainability at their core, to help residents lower fuel bills while reducing environmental impact.
“We hope that these safe, warm homes will provide a foundation for our new residents to flourish.”
“This development is a fantastic example of how we’re tackling the housing emergency in Powys – by delivering high-quality, energy-efficient homes that are affordable and built with sustainability at their core. These homes will not only help reduce fuel poverty but also support the health and wellbeing of our residents.
“By working closely with housing association partners like ClwydAlyn, we’re committed to creating thriving communities and ensuring that everyone has access to a safe, secure place to call home.”
