Through funding made available by the Highland Council, Communities Scotland and Pulteneytown Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme the Highland Housing Alliance is developing its scheme at Silver Darlings Close to provide five town houses in an attractive courtyard development. The houses were advertised for sale on the open market at fixed prices and comprise 3 three bedroom houses, 1 with two bedrooms and 1 with one bedroom. All have been reserved and building is scheduled for completion in December 2007.
Silver Darlings Close was originally a fish-curing yard and is part of an on-going project to create modern living and working spaces in the old buildings, warehouses and curing yards. The development has an enclosed rear courtyard, offering privacy within a town centre location and the courtyard was previously the ‘herring yard’ where curers plied their trade and prepared their fish for transport. This project provides much needed new housing in the area and gives homebuyers an opportunity to acquire property in a unique setting.
The Highland Housing Alliance is also looking at a number of significant buildings in this area.
