People living in Ollerton say seven new homes are going to make ‘somebody very happy’ in their ‘lovely’ village. Nottingham Community Housing Association has built the new affordable homes built in Ollerton off Newark Road.
The homes back on to the Ollerton pit Wood and are on former wasteland, which residents say had previously been a caravan storage site. The new homes will be let to people with a local connection, through Newark and Sherwood District Council’s Choice Base Letting Scheme.
The homes are two bed and energy efficient. They feature solar panels, thick insulation, argon-filled windows, trickle vents in the windows and automatic extractor fans to help to get rid of steam and moisture to prevent mould. Residents say the new homes are ‘nice to look at’ and that the area is ‘lovely and quiet’. Resident Julie Simpsons, 74, retired, told Nottinghamshire Live the area is one people can enjoy.
