AVANT Homes Scotland will deliver 174 new homes in East Lothian after acquiring an 11.1-acre site at Blindwells.
The £47.8 million Althamer View development, located off Greendykes Way, will comprise a mix of two, three, four, and five-bedroom homes. It will feature 16 of Avant’s house types, with 52 properties designated for affordable housing.
The housebuilder acquired the site from developer Hargreaves Land for an undisclosed sum. Work is scheduled to start in the coming weeks, with the first homes anticipated to go on sale in March.
Althamer View will form part of the wider Blindwells masterplan, which Hargreaves Land secured outline planning consent for 1,600 homes for in 2017. The masterplan for the site includes new education facilities, a healthcare hub, retail outlets, and a range of other services.
Avant Homes Scotland MD Jim Wilkinson said, “As a business, we are committed to providing quality new homes for everyone in locations where people want to live. Our Althamer View development is testament to this. Blindwells is an excellent placemaking masterplan and our development will further contribute to establishing and growing this new vibrant community in East Lothian. We now look forward to delivering our range of practically designed, energy efficient homes at Althamer View.”
Bruce Lindsay, development director at Hargreaves Land, added, “We are thrilled to kick off 2025 with the news of our latest land sale which will see the development of more high-quality new homes at Blindwells. This year will see the launch of our new primary school, major investment in on-site and off-site infrastructure and in the coming months we hope to have positive news regarding our planning application for the Blindwells town centre.
“We are delighted to welcome Avant Homes to Blindwells in what is set to be a significant year in the evolution of the scheme.”
