74 Alton Road is a 100% affordable housing development which will provide high quality homes to meet specific local needs. It will include 54 apartments that will be available through shared ownership. The remaining 41 properties are extra care accommodation designed to meet the changing needs of older people who require enhanced levels of support and assistance.

The site sits close to the edge of a conservation area with a backdrop of mature trees and a golf course, so the design was carefully considered to blend with and complement its surroundings. The result is a well-spaced addition to the street scene, where the new apartments will occupy a series of three pavilions, while the extra care wing, which is lower in height, will face onto the parkland. All the properties will be built to a high standard with generous floor space, a dual aspect outlook, good communal facilities and attractive, innovative outdoor space.
