Housebuilder St. Modwen Homes has collaborated with Alliance Homes to build accessible quality homes in Locking.

Located at St. Modwen Homes' Handley Place development, the housebuilder is constructing three fully accessible and wheelchair friendly homes, designed for comfort and practicality and adhering to local requirements within Weston Super Mare.

The three new additions will consist of two semi-detached and one detached home, all built with features that make movement around the home and independent living much easier than in a standard home.


The homes will feature floor lifts and adjustable worktops in the kitchen, plus, wet rooms and bedrooms that all function so they can be used without difficulty. Every aspect has been considered to ensure these accessible features are carefully integrated, and the entire property can be utilised with ease and comfort.

The same approach extends to furnishings and fittings, with additional provisions such as extra loading to the roofs, should a hoist be required in the future.

Stewart Court, Technical Manager, at St. Modwen Homes, said: "We are so happy to have collaborated with Alliance Homes to bring these accessible homes to life.

"At St. Modwen Homes, we want everyone to be able to have a home that meets their needs. When building these fully accessible homes, we have taken extra care to include the practical features and amenities that will be most useful to the individuals living there.

"Whilst the homes incorporate a lot of specialist items and automation, much of the design was about ensuring things are in the right places and set at appropriate heights, allowing them to adapt to individual needs."
