Completed purchase of Waters Cross
Weaver Vale Housing Trust has completed the purchase of Waters Cross, an independent living scheme in the heart of Northwich, marking further investment in high-quality housing for older residents.
Waters Cross is a purpose-built independent living scheme offering 70 one and two-bedroom apartments for people aged 55 and over. The homes will be a mix of Social Rent and Shared Ownership.
Located close to shops, health services and public transport, the development is designed to support independent living and help residents stay connected to their community.
The scheme provides contemporary, energy-efficient homes with fully accessible layouts and lifts to all floors.
It includes secure entrances, mobility-friendly design, landscaped riverside gardens overlooking the River Dane, an on-site café and communal spaces, on-site parking with electric vehicle charging, and communal Wi-Fi throughout the building.
Each apartment features a modern kitchen with integrated appliances and high-quality bathrooms.
The purchase strengthens the supply of affordable, well-designed homes for older people in central Northwich, enabling residents to remain close to the services and support networks they rely on.
It also supports wider local priorities around improving housing quality, helping people to age well in place and increasing access to suitable accommodation for older residents.
Gemma Wood, Director of New Homes and Regeneration at Weaver Vale Housing Trust, said:
“We’re really pleased to complete on the purchase of Waters Cross and welcome the existing residents into the Trust.
“It’s a well-located scheme with strong links to the local community, and we want to build on that so people can stay independent and connected to the services they rely on.”
Weaver Vale Housing Trust will continue to work with local partners and stakeholders to support residents and ensure the scheme continues to meet local needs.
The acquisition of Waters Cross forms part of the Trust’s ongoing commitment to growth and providing high-quality homes for older people, both now and in the future.
