Work Starts On New Housing Development In East Belfast

Hagan Homes has started construction work on a housing project worth over £5 million in Dundonald, east Belfast.

Located just minutes away from the Comber Greenway, the newest housing development by Hagan Homes has gone live on site.

Ashdene Wood, a £5.5m project for the company, is due to be completed in 18 months, with the first resident expected to move in this autumn. The construction phase of the project will create 50 jobs.

Set on the Old Dundonald Road, Ashdene Wood is Hagan Home's third development in the area and follows on from its Ballyoran Heights and Ebrington Mews schemes which are also currently live.

Ashdene Wood will consist of 27 homes including apartments, semi-detached and detached properties which will be built by MCA Building and Joinery.

The housing development also benefits from being in close proximity to a number of family attractions including Streamvale Farm (0.6miles), Dundonald Ice Bowl (0.4miles) and Stormont Estate (2.2miles) to name just three points of interest.

The properties boast the latest design and smart tech including new Ember PS Smart Heating Control Systems and USB sockets as well as a wide choice of aesthetic finishes including a choice of kitchen doors, worktops and handles, carpets as well as appliances including decorative fires (houses only), electric ovens, hobs, washing machines and more.

Externally, houses at Ashdene Wood will benefit from lighting at the front and rear doors with double power socks at the rear while landscaping will be in keeping with the suburban theme.

Jim Burke, Director of Sales and Acquisitions, Hagan Homes, said: "We are delighted to go live with our Ashdene Home scheme.

"We expect this development to appeal to those who want to upscale to a brand new, stylish home that benefits from being in a rural, idyllic location but is still convenient to a host of leisure attractions and just under 6 miles from Belfast.

"Ashdene Wood is a mix of apartments, semi-detached and detached homes that are distinctively charming with fittings and fixtures that will allow each homebuyer to put their creative stamp on the properties."
