House by Urban Splash reveals further progress at East Float development

Housebuilder House by Urban Splash is attempting to brighten up gloomy January days with a first look at its Row House homes at East Float – a new neighbourhood at Wirral Waters.

The company has also announced that Help to Buy will now be available on selected Row House homes – making them more accessible for local buyers.

The brightly coloured new homes are a striking red addition to the local landscape – a hue that’s been inspired by the cranes and bascule bridges of the Birkenhead Dock system.

Liverpool-based architectural studio shedkm designed the homes and director Ian Killick says: “We’ve been inspired by local aesthetics here – hence why they are clad in bright red profiled metal.

“We also wanted to provide a contrast to the neighbouring Town House homes, whilst equally complementing both designs. The result a colourful heart to the new East Float community that we’re extremely proud of.”

Customers looking to buy a Row House home can now apply to do so through Help to Buy; this government-backed scheme helps first-time buyers in England onto the property ladder with a 5% deposit of the purchase price.

Row House is available in three sizes; a two-bedroom, two-storey home, a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half storey home with a roof terrace, and the largest, a four-bedroom, three-storey home. Residents will also benefit from private terraces as well as communal gardens for their use.

How the Row House homes will look when the cladding is completed.

Ian adds: “This brand-new concept takes the idea of customer choice a step further than its Town House cousin. The size options are offered on an ‘any house on any plot’ principal – which is a superb offering for those looking for a new home that provides individuality from the very start.

“The result of this is a mixed height streetscape with roof terrace positions chosen for the best views and orientation – the skyline is both interesting and unique and is basked in a beautiful red hue now that the cladding has been installed.”

The Row House homes have been precision manufactured using Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) at the House by Urban Splash factory in the East Midlands, before being delivered to the Wirral by road.

Other homes available at East Float include the three-storey Town House homes which are now on sale and offer open plan options, up to five bedrooms and home offices; there is a garden living option – a traditional layout with living spaces downstairs – or loft living – with bedrooms on the ground floor and open plan living areas upstairs.

Prices start from £210,000 for a two-storey Row House home, while the Town House homes are priced from £345,000.
