Moorwell Meadows by Avant Homes · Scotter Road South, Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire DN17 2BU

Moorwell Meadows is a new build residential development by Avant Homes, located off Scotter Road South in the Yaddlethorpe district of Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire (DN17 2BU). The site, a £45 million investment, is set to deliver a total of 200 new homes, offering a mix of one, two, three, four, and five-bedroom properties across 12 distinct Avant house types. A portion of the site includes 34 affordable homes, with 28 allocated for Social Rent and six for Shared Ownership (allowing purchase of a 25-75% share of the equity).

The development is currently in the initial construction phase. Work was expected to begin in May, with the first new build homes anticipated to be released for private sale in October. A show home is scheduled to open in November, and the first residents are projected to move in by December. Avant Homes' properties at Moorwell Meadows are designed with a focus on modern, open-plan living, featuring specifications that include classic French doors, fully fitted kitchens with integrated appliances, fashionable tiling choices, and off-street parking. The homes are promoted as being practically designed and energy-efficient. It is important for prospective buyers to note the developer's track record. Avant Homes has historically achieved a 5-star HBF customer satisfaction rating. However, more recent industry reports have indicated a tracking reduction to a three-star rating, with some customer feedback highlighting concerns regarding build quality and customer service follow-up for snagging issues post-completion. Buyers are advised to conduct appropriate due diligence, such as a professional snagging inspection, prior to legal completion.
