Avant Homes Central managing director Stuart Rowlands said: “We’re pleased that we’ll soon be delivering the next phase of our Portlands development. We’ve made a substantial long-term investment in Creswell and we’re continuing that by more than doubling our presence in the village.
“Since launching in 2018, Portlands has proved a real hit with a range of buyers in Creswell. We’ve seen first-hand that there is a demand for quality, affordable design-led homes in the local area and we’re pleased to be continuing to meet that demand.”
Initial groundworks are now underway after the homes were given planning permission earlier this month.
