The former Belmont Hospital site at Gilbert Scott Way in Tiverton, Devon has been transformed into residential housing by Devonshire Homes, with 19 new homes due to be occupied by Christmas.
The Devon and Cornwall Housing Association has already bought 12 affordable homes out of that number. The first homes to be occupied will include two-bedroom apartments, two- and three-bedroom houses.
Jane Pearce, Sales Manager at Devonshire Homes, said: “We are delighted to welcome so many new residents into their new homes by the end of the year. The latest completions mean that out of the 32 properties within phase one and two of the development, over 50 per cent are ready for their new owners to move in. This is a great achievement and proves Gilbert Scott Way is on track to grow as a vibrant community.”
Steve Russell, Managing Director at Devonshire Homes, said: “Gilbert Scott Way is a prime example of how vacant sites can be swiftly converted into much-needed housing to make the most use out of previously developed land.”
Work has already started on phase three of the development to convert the existing main building into apartments and the removal of the neighbouring derelict Twyford building.
The development received a boost last year when it received £2m in Government funding support through the Get Britain Building scheme. In total the development will provide 76 new homes. Overall the scheme is expected to contribute to the wider regeneration of Tiverton town centre.
