Middleton Close, Warminster, was built on allotment land (bought from West Wiltshire Holdings Ltd., a district-council owned company) on the west side of Pound Street Hollow, and was completed in March 1989.
The development of 36 two and three-bedroom houses was intended as a scheme to enable low-income couples on the council house waiting list to get a foot on the home ownership ladder. After living in the homes for two years, making monthly “holding” payments, people will have the option of buying their homes at knock-down prices.
A three-bedroom house will cost £40,700 and a two-bedroom house will cost £34,200.
Management Services Ltd., of Gloucester (managing agent of the Malvern Housing Association Ltd.) collect monies for the Bradford & Bingley Building Society who financed the development which was designed and built by Westbury Partnership Homes of Churchdown, Gloucestershire.
