Rooftop Housing Group, the Evesham-based housing association, is delighted to announce the successful completion of its latest rural affordable housing development at Crown View in Powick. The new development addresses the need for affordable housing in rural areas and delivers 18 high-quality sustainable homes that cater for a range of community needs.

Crown View includes 2, 3 and 4-bed properties. There are six homes for social rent which are already fully occupied 12 homes for shared ownership which are very popular with only 5 remaining to reserve.

Households with a rural connection to the area are prioritised when allocating homes for rent and reserving homes for sale to ensure that affordable housing developments like this, benefit the local community first and foremost.

“We are pleased to launch this new development in Powick, as we recognise the importance of providing good-quality, affordable and sustainable homes in rural areas. These homes not only meet the immediate needs of the residents but also enhance the long-term vitality of rural communities,” Rebecca Pitt, Executive Director – Investment of Rooftop Housing Group said.

The homes at Crown View have been built to the Rooftop Living Homes Standard, ensuring they are warm, energy-efficient and future-proof. Each property has a gas combi boiler for heating and hot water, alongside solar PV panels, ensuring sustainability and energy efficiency. Additionally, each home comes with pre-installed EV charge points, catering to the growing demand for electric vehicles.

The location of Crown View provides both rural charm and convenient access to urban amenities. Situated just two miles south of the well-served cathedral city of Worcester, residents enjoy easy access to a comprehensive range of shopping, recreational and sporting facilities. The Malvern Hills and the vibrant cultural hub of Great Malvern are only four miles away, offering natural beauty and renowned educational institutions.

Transport communications are excellent with railway stations in Worcester and Malvern and junction 7 of the M5 motorway, which is approximately three miles away.
