Westleigh has begun construction work on its latest development of 22 brand new homes in the Leicestershire village of Cosby.

The former haulage yard on Park Road is set to be transformed into a selection of high quality homes, from three bedroom semi-detached family properties, through to four and five bedroom detached houses which will offer extensive accommodation for larger families. Each property will be finished to the highest specification with modern facilities fitted throughout.

The development, which is situated in the heart of the picturesque village, will provide purchasers with the perfect combination of rural living combined with the convenience of local amenities including pubs and shops located just two to three minutes walk away. Cosby also benefits from being located close by to the larger villages and towns of Whetstone and Blaby. It also has good public transportation links with Leicester

The first properties at the development will be ready to move into by spring 2015 with all homes due to be completed by the end of 2016.

The popular village of Cosby is known for its thriving community and historic roots, boasting a 14th Century parish church and houses which date back to the early 17th Century.  The village is also recognised for its brook which runs throughout the entirety of Cosby to the River Soar. The community has two schools, Cosby Primary School and Brooke House Day School and football, rugby and cricket teams which all participate in Leicestershire sporting leagues.

Robert Orr, Sales & Marketing Manager at Westleigh Homes, commented, “We are very pleased to be able to offer families the chance to move into brand new high specification homes in this popular and pleasant village. Hardy's Yard will lead to the regeneration of brownfield land in the area and will address the rise in demand for new housing in Leicestershire.

“Although the first homes are not due to be ready for a few months, I would encourage interested homebuyers to register their interest with us now to avoid disappointment and to be kept up to date with timescales, prices and specifications when more information becomes available.”

Westleigh builds contemporary new homes across the region from its base in Whetstone, and designs homes and specifications with modern lifestyles in mind. It ensures its new homes embrace existing buildings, styles and materials, whilst also ensuring the build has a minimal impact on the local environment.
