Living Space Delivers 57 Sustainable New Homes in Houghton Regis for Stonewater

Living Space is proud to have completed a 57-home development in Houghton Regis for our long-standing partner, Stonewater, marking their very first scheme in the town. The completion was celebrated with an official opening event alongside Stonewater and Central Bedfordshire Council.

This new community showcases our commitment to building high-quality, sustainable homes. Every property is EPC A-rated and is equipped with electric vehicle charging points, rainwater tanks, air source heat pumps, and PV solar panels. Designed to enhance local biodiversity, the scheme incorporates a wildlife corridor, hedgerow planting, sparrow and bat boxes, and hedgehog-friendly fencing.

The development provides a mix of Affordable Rent and Shared Ownership homes, from one-bedroom maisonettes to four-bedroom family houses, delivering much-needed housing for local people.

Paul Breen, Managing Director of Living Space, said: “We’re delighted to deliver another successful development for our long-standing partner, Stonewater, and proud to have been their construction partner on their very first scheme in Houghton Regis. This project is a shining example of how a strong collaboration can create high-quality, sustainable homes that meet local housing needs while enhancing the community through thoughtful design and environmental features. It’s rewarding to know we’ve helped create a place where people can genuinely feel at home.”

Charlotte Buggins, Head of Development for South & Central at Stonewater, said: “Bringing Stonewater homes to Houghton Regis continues our presence in Bedfordshire and demonstrates our commitment to providing homes in places that need them most.

“We know how important it is for villages and market towns like Houghton Regis to have safe, efficient and affordable housing, so that local people can remain in their preferred communities. By doing so, it brings stability, investment and a sense of pride."

As part of the development, Stonewater commissioned leading sculptor Graeme Mitcheson to create a public art installation inspired by Houghton Regis’s history of straw plaiting. The four stone-carved benches encourage residents and visitors to connect with the area’s rich heritage.

This scheme was part-funded by Homes England and adds to Living Space’s growing track record of delivering exceptional, sustainable developments in partnership with Registered Providers across the UK.
