Hounslow Council has announced the completion of Tintern, Sonnet, and Hamlet houses, formerly known as Block D in Brentford, transforming lives by providing much-needed homes that strengthen local communities.Â
This development, located on Brentford High Street, delivers 96 high-quality, sustainable homes, helping to foster inclusive and diverse communities. It reflects Hounslow’s pledge to provide environmentally efficient housing, achieved in partnership with the Greater London Authority (GLA). With energy-efficient features such as rooftop solar panels and smart home technologies, the development ensures both comfort and affordability for residents.Â
Designed with pedestrian-friendly connections and integrated commercial spaces, the project supports the council’s long-term vision for Brentford’s regeneration and growth. A secure podium garden and play area further foster community connections, promoting outdoor enjoyment for all residents.
Nadia Ghose, a mum of five who recently moved into Tintern House, shared, “We’re thrilled with our new home. The space is beautiful, and we feel part of an exciting, growing community. It is very convenient as I am close to the GP, my children’s school, local shops, and public transport. I also have good friends here, and there is lots to do for my children.”Â
Cllr Tom Bruce, deputy leader of the council and cabinet member for assets, regeneration and development, said: “I am pleased to welcome residents to Tintern, Hamlet and Sonnet houses. We are delivering on our bold pledge to provide high-quality, sustainable council homes for local people. This project aligns with the Brentford Town Centre Masterplan 2024, which outlines our vision for a vibrant, connected community that supports regeneration and growth. Working closely with the GLA, we’ve created homes that reflect the needs of our residents and I would like to say a huge thank you to them for supporting us in delivering on this vision.
“I’m proud to see this flagship development come to life, and I look forward to what’s next for Brentford.”
Tom Copley, Deputy Mayor of London for housing and residential development, said: I’m delighted that the Mayor of London has been able to back Hounslow to build these new high-quality council homes, let at social rent levels and funded through the Mayor’s landmark Building Council Homes for Londoners programme. These are not just much-needed new homes, but a critical part of the wider regeneration of the area, as part of the Mayor’s plans to help build a fairer and more prosperous London for everyone.”
