CCG Homes gave insight into their plans for the regeneration of the former Greenock Academy site located on Madeira Street last year and after commencing construction in November, prospective buyers can now choose from a range of 30 homes that form part of the newly-named ‘The Scholars’.

Three house types will be spread across a housing mix that consists of 24 ‘terraced villas’ and 6, terraced houses with luxury specification provided standard and selected plots offering views towards the Clyde Estuary.

‘The Muir’ and ‘Mara’ terraced villas are a contemporary take on a traditional Victorian terrace and are adaptations of a previous CCG Homes house type.

Reaching 3 storeys and up to 1580sqft, space for 4 bedrooms and the properties will be complete with their own integral garage. The 2.5-storey terraced house, known as ‘The Orin’, has three bedrooms, an open-plan ground floor and a ‘room in the roof’ containing a master ensuite bedroom that features a large rooflight.

Buyers will have the opportunity to personalise their kitchens - which are integrated with Siemens appliances - and bathrooms as part of a suite of options available at the point of sale.

A private rear garden and two parking spaces served by an EV (Electric Vehicle) charging point will also be provided for each plot while additional benefit will come in the form of improved energy performance with an EPC rating between 90 (B) and 92 (A) achieved as a result of the homes’ enhanced building fabric and integrated, solar PV panels.

CCG Homes managing director, Calum Murray, said: “A first project for CCG Homes in Greenock, we are delighted to present ‘The Scholars’; a development which is uniquely advantaged by its location in the town’s quiet west end suburb just 300m from the Esplanade.

“I am hugely confident the homes we have to offer – each complete with luxury specification and market-leading energy performance – will be well received by prospective buyers who we look forward to meeting over the coming weeks and months.”

CCG Homes expect to open a show home in the summer with first entry for homeowners anticipated before the end of the year.
