Knowsley-based housing association, Livv Housing Group, has welcomed its first customers to its latest development in Prescot.

Ash Grove features a mix of 36 semi-detached and terraced homes for affordable rent, including 10 two-bedroom apartments, 10 two-bedroom houses, 14 three-bedroom houses and two four-bedroom houses. Three new roads – Eden Way, Fielding Court and Gladewood Gardens – have been created.

Built on former grassland, the site benefits from excellent access to local amenities, with Prescot town centre, schools, Whiston Hospital and Prescot train station all within walking distance. Cultural and leisure attractions such as Shakespeare North Playhouse and Knowsley Safari are also nearby.

Yvonne Westhead-Fyles, director of Development at Livv Housing Group, says: “Ash Grove is a new community built to last.

“This thoughtfully designed development not only addresses the need for more affordable housing in Prescot, but offers a diverse mix of homes which sees families, couples and professionals alike live side by side in a new neighbourhood. It’s exciting and rewarding seeing them all move in.

“Ash Grove is a great example of how we’re regenerating underused land to build safe, inclusive and welcoming places where local people can truly thrive. We’re incredibly proud to see this project come to fruition – it’s a testament to the hard work, dedication and resilience of everyone involved.”

The development was completed in partnership with Liverpool-based contractor Quinn Developments NW Ltd, with grant funding support from Homes England.

Peter Quinn, managing director at Quinn Developments NW Ltd, adds: “We’re proud to have worked in partnership with Livv Housing Group to deliver this fantastic development at Ash Grove.

“Collaborating closely with the client has been key to project success, and it’s rewarding to see residents already moving into their new homes. As a local contractor, we’re especially pleased to have played a part in providing much-needed, high-quality housing for the Prescot community.”
