Dozens of new affordable homes have been delivered as part of a major housing scheme.

Vistry, the UK’s leading mixed-tenure developer, has handed over the final 35 homes at Limewood Grange on Allington Lane in Eastleigh to housing provider Abri.

The final phase, known as Primrose Gardens, began construction in spring 2024 and consists of 29 houses and six apartments, now owned by Abri and offered through a mix of social rent and shared ownership.

Trevor Wicks, managing director for Vistry Southern, said: "We’re thrilled to mark the completion of Limewood Grange and hand over the final homes to Abri.

"This milestone reflects the strength of our long-standing partnership and our shared commitment to delivering high-quality, affordable homes for local communities.

"The development’s successful completion is the result of close collaboration and a focus on creating a vibrant, sustainable neighbourhood for residents to enjoy."

Abri is using funding from its Strategic Partnership with Homes England, alongside its own investment, to make all the homes affordable.

The development includes a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments and two, three, and four-bedroom houses.

Limewood Grange, delivered over three phases by Vistry in collaboration with housing associations, now totals 142 homes.

Phase 2, finished in 2022, added 35 homes, with 12 affordable units delivered alongside Vivid.

Bethany Palmer, senior development officer at Abri, said: "These new homes at Primrose Gardens will make a meaningful difference for local people, providing warm, safe and affordable places to call home.

"Access to high quality, sustainable housing is the foundation for helping communities thrive, and offering a mix of social rent and shared ownership options helps to meet different needs.

"This development reflects the ambitions set out in Abri’s new corporate strategy 2026–2031 to deliver more affordable homes, invest in our communities, and create opportunities for people to live well."
