Genesis Housing Group has completed a new affordable housing scheme in north London, it has been revealed.

The Winton Court development is located in Islington and consists of 17 two-bedroom flats and six maisonettes.

Built on the former site of a basketball court, the scheme’s six maisonettes and four flats are available to rent, while the remaining properties can be bought on a shared ownership basis.

Pam Lockley, managing director of Genesis Housing Group’s PCHA subsidiary, said: "Winton Court is an excellent example of how Genesis and Islington are working so well together to produce excellent results."

She added that Genesis has a "considerable development programme across the south-east".

Opened by the mayor of Islington Stefan Kasprzyk, the affordable housing development received funding from the Housing Corporation.
