KINGDOM Housing Association recently triumphed in the Best Affordable Housing Development (less than £10m) category for its Balgove Road, Gauldry development, at the UK-wide Inside Housing Development Awards 2024.

Situated at the edge of the rural Fife village, the 30 new homes for social rent are built to Passivhaus and Net-Zero Carbon standards and create Kingdom’s largest green development in Fife to date.

The development offers a mix of family homes, cottage flats, and amenity bungalows.

Tom Barclay, Kingdom Group chief executive said, “Working with our partners Campion Homes, Fife Council and the Scottish Government on this project, Kingdom has delivered a development that brings modern, stylish and incredibly energy-efficient affordable homes to an area of Fife where affordable housing is in great demand. These homes are designed to meet the current and future housing needs of residents, integrate well into the surrounding area and positively contribute to the village.

“Designed to exacting Passivhaus standards, these homes provide an environmental benefit through low levels of energy consumption and also mean lower fuel costs for our customers during the cost of living crisis.”
