Housing Plus Group appoints SJ Roberts Construction to deliver 64 new homes in Shropshire town 

Fifty-seven of the new homes, which will be available for social rent, shared ownership and market rent, will be a mix of one, two and three-bedroom houses. A further seven properties will be delivered through the redevelopment of the old Grade-2 listed Ellesmere railway station buildings.

The new homes will be highly sustainable, thanks to the inclusion of solar PV panels and air source heat pumps. The development has also been designed to enrich the local area and help create a secure and pleasant environment for residents and the wider community.

Head of Development at Housing Plus Group, Sepp Sargeant, said: “We’re really excited to be delivering these new homes in Ellesmere, helping to meet the need for high quality, affordable homes in the area.

“The mix of homes, from one-bedroom apartments to three-bedroom houses, will cater to a range of people and will bring disused, Grade-2 listed railway station buildings back to life after being abandoned for some years.”

This project is the latest in a long-standing relationship between SJ Roberts Construction and Housing Plus Group which has seen more than 300 new homes delivered at a wide range of distinct developments over the past 18 years.

Commenting on behalf of SJ Roberts Construction, managing director Mike Sambrook, said: “Delivering new affordable homes in communities, such as Ellesmere, where they’re most needed is always a responsibility that we take very seriously. However, there’s something extra special about delivering them for a partner, like Housing Plus Group, with whom we’ve worked for such a significant amount of time.”
