Description
RiseS12 is an exciting new development of two, three and four bedroom houses which forms part of a wider regeneration of the Sheffield S12 postcode area. The site occupies an elevated location looking east towards Woodhouse, giving sweeping views of the Shire Brook Valley from many of the properties’ upper floors.
RiseS12 sits at the western edge of the Shire Brook Valley, a protected, carefully managed nature reserve of over 100 hectares. A haven for a variety of wildlife, the valley boasts an historic brook, ancient meadows, lowland heath and areas of coppiced oak as well as a number of ponds and marshland.
Specification
The exterior design of the properties at RiseS12 is clean, considered and quietly contemporary.
Two groups of architects are responsible for the design – Home Group’s own renowned
development team and Avanti, a leading edge practice which specialises in contemporary design.
Inside, every property has been carefully designed to make the maximum use of all available space.
Given the elevated and gently sloping nature of the site, a number of the properties’ interiors are
split-level, creating a more interesting floor plate.

About Home Group
Home
Home brings to the market affordable homes for those intending to get their foot on the ladder.
The types of schemes that we offer are as followed:
Shared Ownership – This was introduced to help people who cannot afford to buy a home outright. Through shared ownership you buy a share of the property and pay a rent on the remaining share which is still owned by the housing association. Gradually you may buy further shares and eventually own your home outright.
The schemes that we offer on this basis are for those that cannot afford to buy a suitable home outright. Priority will normally be given to existing public sector tenants or those on local authority waiting lists.
The types of properties that we offer are all new developments set in prime locations.
