Mallard Homes | Eureka Lodge Gardens
Mallard Homes is delivering 13 new bungalows in a multi-million pound scheme in Swadlincote. The company reports that building work remains on schedule and the homes that spearhead the first phase of the development should be ready by Spring.
“In the mid-1980s, as many as 26,000 new bungalows were being built every year,” said Paul Heap, Founder and Managing Director of Mallard Homes.
“When we started exploring options for this site back in 2017, this figure had fallen to just 2,600 – but we felt there was untapped demand out there, especially in South Derbyshire, and designed a scheme to meet this gap in the market.” Find out more…
