Work complete on Fife affordable housing development

Site visit

WORK has been completed on Kingdom Housing‘s build of 29 affordable homes in Pittenweem.

The housing association worked alongside Campion Homes to deliver the development at Station Court.

The Pittenweem site comprises 29 homes for social rent, with a mix of one two-bedroom wheelchair bungalow, two-bedroom cottage flats, and two, three, four, and five-bedroom family homes. The properties all have air source heat pumps.

Members of the Kingdom Boards, local councillors Sean Dillon and Fiona Corps, and Kingdom Group Chief Executive Tom Barclay toured the site along with Kingdom Housing association chair Linda Leslie to see the finished results of the project that began construction in April 2024.

Linda Leslie said, “Here at Pittenweem, the development is another example of our team providing top-quality homes where they’re needed. The amount of hard work that’s gone into this project is incredible and I’m so impressed with the finished homes. Kingdom has shown once more that our customers lie at the heart of everything we do and we’re committed to providing homes like this that are genuinely life-changing.”

Councillor Sean Dillon added, “House prices in this area over the past few years are significantly higher than the national average, and with short-term lets dominating, there are very few private rentals available.

“I grew up here, and a lot of young people move on just to find affordable accommodation. While that works well cost-wise, it’s taking people away from their family and support network, especially when they have young children.”
