The project was a partnership with Quale Homes and has now delivered 45 social rent properties within a wider private development.

The homes mark another success for Kingdom by offering affordable accommodation in an area where house prices can be problematic for many families. The affordable homes include a 2-bedroom amenity bungalow as well as a 4-bedroom detached family home.

Kinglassie has local shops, a bowling club, public park and primary school nearby, and the development also boosted the area with job opportunities. Student apprentices were employed on-site and work was offered to local sub-contractors, reflecting the community-first house-building system that Kingdom supports.

Kingdom’s development manager Sean Whittet said: “It’s been fantastic to see the completed homes at Kinglassie. At Kingdom, we know the positive impact high-quality, affordable housing has and in the middle of a housing emergency, our new-build programme means we can play a vital part in bringing much-needed housing to Fife.

“These homes are highly energy-efficient to keep householders’ costs down through the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, and we’ve worked closely with our partners to provide efficient, safe and secure homes in our local communities.

“The work we do at Kingdom is about so much more than bricks and mortar and I’m proud that we’re helping customers and their families thrive by providing more than a home.”

The homes have an energy rating of B, meaning residents will enjoy top-quality, energy-efficient living as part of Kingdom’s drive to provide more affordable, future-proofed homes.

With the total cost reaching nearly £9 million, Kingdom financed 45% of the project, and the Scottish Government provided the remaining 55%.
