Silverhill Edge: New Build Homes in Sutton in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire

Development Overview

Silverhill Edge is a new build property development by Avant Homes, located off Fisher Close in Sutton in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire (NG17 2AA). The scheme will deliver a total of 84 new homes on a nine-acre site, representing a significant £22.8 million residential investment in the local area. The development is designed to provide a mix of property types to suit a range of buyers, from first-time homeowners to growing families and downsizers.

Property Details and Pricing

The development comprises a selection of 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom houses. While specific house type names and floorplans require a direct enquiry, Avant Homes specifications typically include high-level features such as designer kitchens with integrated appliances, fashionable full-height tiling in bathrooms, spacious rooms, and classic French doors. Off-street parking is also a standard feature. Currently, all properties are listed as ‘Coming Soon,’ and prospective buyers are advised to contact the developer for the current pricing schedule, availability, and specific house types.

Construction Timeline and Practical Information

Construction at Silverhill Edge is anticipated to have started in early autumn. The first homes are expected to be released for sale in November, with a show home planned to open in spring 2026. The initial residents are anticipated to move in by summer 2026. The developer, Avant Homes, has been noted for its open-plan, modern home designs. However, buyers should note recent industry data indicating a three-star rating in the latest Home Builders’ Federation (HBF) customer satisfaction survey, with a drop in customer satisfaction scores across the sector generally. Feedback from other Avant developments is mixed, with praise for the design but some customer reports citing challenges with post-completion service and snagging resolution.
