The development

John Southworth and Wythenshawe Community Housing worked collaboratively on this new and exciting scheme, delivering twenty Timber Frame, 2 and 3 bedroom properties in Wythenshawe. Each home benefits from off-road parking and energy-saving features including Air Source Heat Pumps, Photovoltaic Panels and EV Charging Points. The development consists of a mixed tenure of 50/50 shared ownership and affordable rent properties, each of which achieved Net Carbon Zero status.

Located in Wythenshawe, just over seven miles from Manchester, the development provides easy access to
the motorway network and public transport. The area also benefits from local schools, shops and entertainment facilities.

Located nearby is Wythenshawe Park, a cherished community space of rich historical significance, providing
many leisurely pursuits and walks amongst Grade II listed buildings, nestled in ornamental gardens, woodland and wildflower meadows. A varied events programme offers the annual Wythenshawe Games and Firework & Bonfire extravaganza, making it a great place for families to live.

Oakwood Lodge has completely transformed the site of a former derelict Community Resource Centre into an attractive development of much-needed, affordable homes to own and rent in the area.
