Work is continuing on a £1.3 million housing development in Broughshane, Co Antrim.

Developer Loft Estates is delivering the three-home Copper Barns scheme within a 4.5-acre site overlooking Slemish Mountain and the Braid Valley.

The company is now planning to replicate the award-winning project with another 10 – 15 unit scheme, comprising of a range of smaller more attainable properties, in the Ballymena area.

Connor Dinsmore, Director at Loft Estates, said: "We have been overwhelmed with the public response to this project which has also received a RICS award for architecture. So far, we’ve sold two homes to legal professionals from London and there have been enquiries from around the world about the third and final property on the development.

He added: "The homes are entirely bespoke and whilst they are very contemporary in design, the overall concept works because they relate back to the original stone barns they replaced. We have one barn remaining and will start this in conjunction with the new buyer so they can be involved in customising it to suit their own individual requirements."

Michelle Wilson, Business Banking Manager at Danske Bank, which has supported the project, said: "Copper Barns development is the latest project from Connor and his team and as ever they continue to innovate and excite. A combination of award winning design coupled with quality driven construction has proven to be a winning recipe for the company and we are excited to see what they are planning next.

"Our relationship has gone from strength to strength over the past six years and we look forward to supporting the business with its future developments."
