MORLEY Carr Farm, an affordable housing development in Yarm, welcomed its first residents – Shirley Wilson, her daughter Tabitha and her partner Alan – last month.

The Thirteen Group partnered with Taylor Wimpey to develop a number of properties on the Morley Carr Farm site in Yarm which provides a mixture of two and three-bedroom affordable rent and shared ownership homes.

“We’re over the moon with our new home,” said Shirley, who moved into the development from a private rented home in the town. “It’s a lovely neighbourhood and meets our needs perfectly. We lived close by and watched the houses going up. Now we’re happily settled and living in one. Our old house was damp and cold, but the Morley Carr Farm property is cosy and dry.

“The team at Thirteen was really supportive and made the whole process straightforward.”

Ian Wardle, chief executive of the Thirteen Group, said: “We are pleased to have welcomed Shirley and her family to Morley Carr Farm, where we hope they will be very happy.

“The development is in an ideal location, close to Yarm High Street and within easy reach of excellent schools, making it perfectly suited to families and people of all ages.

“We are proud to be a part of this exceptional development.”

Thirteen Group has a range of affordable properties available across the region.
