86 Chesterton Road has been developed by Logic Homes and its shareholders to provide a large family home for a disabled user in the London Borough of Newham.  Designed by architects Petch & Fermaud and constructed by Allenbuild SE for Genesis Housing Group the home is built using traditional brick in keeping with the surrounding houses.

The 4 bedroom home was built for affordable rent by a wheelchair user and as such contains a lift, large off street parking bay, height adjustable kitchen units, wet rooms and raised flower beds.  The home has been designed to be easily adaptable for future users with different care requirements. The home was instantly allocated to meet the need for specially adapted properties in Newham.

Due to the efficiency of the Logic Homes model this scheme was handed over to Genesis Housing Group 3 weeks early in June 2008.
