Five new eco-friendly homes completed in Middleton ahead of Christmas



10/12/2025

We’re delighted to announce the completion of five brand-new sustainable family homes at Damson Green, Middleton, just in time for Christmas.

This £1.3m development, delivered by FCHO in partnership with J Walker Homes, has transformed a former car park. The three and four-bedroom homes are affordable, high-specification properties designed with sustainability at their core, helping residents keep energy bills low while reducing environmental impact.

Steve Agger, FCHO Executive Director of Homes, said:
"The shortage of affordable family homes in Rochdale and Oldham is a big challenge and we’re delighted the Damson Green properties are finished and ready to meet that need for their new occupants in time for Christmas.

"They are high specification homes and a great addition to our housing stock because they meet many of our ambitions around energy efficiency and sustainability.

"They also meet our values around making sure local companies are involved in building them.

"It is also important we redevelop brownfield sites like these to help regenerate our communities and allow them to thrive."

The homes feature modern eco-friendly technology, including:

  • Air source heat pumps
  • Low water usage fittings
  • Low energy fans
  • Biodiversity measures

This project reflects FCHO's commitment to creating affordable, sustainable homes and investing in the future of our communities.
