Morris Property and Horton’s Estate, two well-established Shropshire family businesses, have come together to deliver a quality village homes scheme in Pontesbury. Work has started to build 17 two, three and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached houses on a prime elevated site in the Shropshire Hills.

The rural development, known as Young’s Piece, features 11 house type variations adding to its appeal. Robin Morris, Chairman at Morris Properties, commented: “We are delighted to be involved in this project as we share the same vision for this site which is now coming to fruition. We are sure it will prove popular with families looking to move to a rural location which is also within easy reach of Shrewsbury.” The development is on the edge of Pontesbury village on the A488, seven miles south west of Shrewsbury.

Stephen Benson, Chief Executive of Hortons Estate, the land’s owners, said: “It is fitting that two family businesses with a tradition for delivering high standard properties across the West Midlands are working together to do this site justice. It is a desirable place to live with a thriving community set in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.”

Young’s Piece homes are being marketed by Picardy Homes. Prospective buyers can view more detail and register their interest via www.picardy-homes.co.uk
