Rhodes Point

Rhodes Point: An Informative Development Overview

Rhodes Point, a new build housing development by Gleeson Homes, is situated in the Rhodesia area of Worksop, Nottinghamshire (Postcode S80 3HU). Please note: This development is now fully sold out. This overview provides specific details on the construction, location, and property types for prospective buyers interested in Gleeson's subsequent developments in the region.

Rhodes Point comprised a total of 127 new, traditional-build homes constructed on a 10.5-acre site. As a core mission of Gleeson Homes, the development focused on providing affordable, quality housing, with a significant emphasis on first-time buyers. This approach resulted in an expectation for homes to be highly accessible through schemes like the now-closed Help to Buy: Equity Loan, with initial prices anticipated to start from approximately £126,995, and a percentage of homes made available via the Home Reach part-buy/part-rent scheme starting from around £76,197. The focus was on creating affordable ownership opportunities in the area.

Property and Developer Details

The properties at Rhodes Point consisted of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom semi-detached and detached house types. Specific house designs featured on the development included the two-bedroom Mayfield, the three-bedroom Kilkenny, Fergus, and Tyrone, and the four-bedroom Waterford. Each new build came with private parking and gardens. In recognition of construction quality, the Senior Site Manager at Rhodes Point was honoured with the prestigious NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Award in 2024. Gleeson Homes, as a low-cost housebuilder, is known for affordability, though prospective buyers should be aware that finishes are generally designed to be basic, with options for upgrades, a characteristic often noted in buyer feedback for budget builders.
