Affordable
houses completed
in Thornaby
The successful completion of the Westdale Road project
in Thornaby has transformed the site of the former Anson
House and Hudson House tower blocks into 37 high
quality, affordable rental homes. Developed by Thirteen
Housing Group in collaboration with T. Manners & Sons Ltd,
this scheme was designed to address local housing needs
while enhancing the urban fabric of the area.
Located near Mitchell Avenue and adjacent to Thornaby
Primary School, the layout integrates into the existing
street network. A mix of traditional brick built single- and
two-storey homes now creates a strong streetscape and a
welcoming sense of community. Modern design elements
have been incorporated to replace the former high-rise
landmark with a contemporary look featuring distinctive
brick detailing and a cranked terrace design that responds
to the busy junction at Thornaby town centre. A retained
central tree and existing highway helped in昀氀uence the
design, creating a shared parking court and a communal
garden for residents to enjoy.
