David Cross said early enquiries were strong from ‘first-time and last-time’ buyers.
He added: “Despite months of uncertainty in the construction industry, we are delighted to be able to say that Chapel Waters is progressing pretty much on schedule and our show home will be opening in July, just four weeks behind our planned launch date.”
Phase One prices start from £149,950.
Rhodesia was built in 1920 to house workers from the nearby Shireoaks and Steetley pits. It was named after the former chairman of the nearby Shireoaks Colliery, G. Preston Rhodes.
