The Development

John Southworth and Jigsaw Homes worked collaboratively on this new and exciting scheme, delivering a block of 4 new 1-bedroom traditional build flats for social rent in Blackley. The development benefits from off-road parking and energy-saving features including Hot Water Heat Pumps, Solar PV panels and EV Charging Points. 

Located in Blackley, just over four miles from the city centre of Manchester, the development provides easy access to the motorway network and public transport. Alongside the various local schools and entertainment facilities, Domett Street is located close to three notable beauty spots including Blackley Forest, Boggart Hole Clough and Heaton Park, each offering many pursuits including walks, wildlife spotting and family-friendly outdoor activities, all of which make Domett Street a great place to live.
