Capsel, the trading subsidiary of Monmouthshire Housing Association (MHA) has started work on building 14 much needed family homes in Llangynidr, Powys.

The homes are the first homes to be built outside of Monmouthshire by the MHA group. Located in the scenic village of Llangynidr, the 14 brand new, high quality homes are due to be completed in 2019. All of the homes will be available for sale, with one property available through Powys County Council as a low cost home ownership option.

Llangynidr is a popular choice for homebuyers, with its picturesque backdrop of the Beacons National Park and it’s hoped the new Capsel development will prove popular with families looking to move into in the thriving local community.

Councillor Rosemarie Harris, Powys County Council Leader and Ward Member for Llangynidr said: “It is fantastic that homes for local people are being built in Llangynidr. These homes will bring families to the area and keep the community strong.”

“It has been great to see how Capsel have used local suppliers and designed the homes to blend in with the surrounding area.”

John Keegan, MHA Chief Executive said: “This will be a fantastic development in idyllic surroundings. We are determined to create a great community here and above all a happy, safe place for people to bring up their families.”

“We are really pleased to be working with our partners Edenstone Homes on this development. They have a long track record of delivering high quality homes at affordable prices. Make sure to follow progress on the Capsel website where over the coming months we will be releasing further details about the new development.”

Jeremy Baker, Associate Director of Capsel said: “These homes are the beginning of an exciting time for Capsel as we start to develop outside of Monmouthshire and hopefully Capsel will be able to provide more much needed housing in Powys.”
