More than a dozen borough homes on the site of a former care home have gone on the market.

The homes are situated on the former Wheatfields Day Centre on Victoria Avenue in Whitefield.

Affordable homes provider Onward Living has made 14 three-bedroom semi-detached homes available to reserve "off-plan" with example prices starting from £100,000 based on 40 per cent shared ownership.

Shared ownership allows home-seekers to purchase a share of their home between 10 per cent and 75 per cent of the property’s full market value and pay rent on the remaining amount.

Buying a percentage of the home means a smaller deposit can be put down which makes it easier for people, particularly first-time buyers to get a foot on the property ladder.

All the homes are spacious and contemporary three-bedroom homes built with modern living in mind, featuring stylish fittings and appliances, a large kitchen/diner and utility space, a separate lounge for entertaining guests, fully turfed gardens, solar panels and EV charging points, and off-street parking.
