Murray Place, Portsoy
With this award winning development at Portsoy, completed in May 2006, Tenants First Housing Co-operative have built high quality homes for rent for local people within an attractive seaside setting.
This development incorporates a mix of 20 family houses, all with high insulation and energy-efficiency standards and design for future adaptability depending on the occupant needs. There is also some wheelchair accessible housing included.
The key feature of the Portsoy site is the ‘Homezone’ layout, which introduces a safe and comfortable environment for the inhabitants to interact. The development also has a play area, landscaping and amenity space provided for the residents, and vehicle access will be strictly controlled.
