First homes on old Buxton college site scheduled for summer completion

High Peak Borough Council granted full planning permission in July for the 153-home development on land off Trenchard Drive.

Persimmon Homes said preparations were well underway on the site, and the first properties at its newly-christened College Hill Park development were due to be completed next summer.

Sales director Dave Hodgson said: “We are thrilled to finally release for sale our new homes at what is a fantastic site in Buxton.

“The development is perfect for first-time buyers and families, with a wide variety of stunning homes available.

“We have already had a huge amount of interest, particularly in the 100 per cent part exchange scheme that we have.”

The first homes released for sale include a semi-detached three-bedroom, Danbury-style property with en-suite from £179,995.
