However with all the previous quotes and comments about individual addresses not being commercially viable, I will believe it when I see it. As it stands I just can't see them running nearly 1000m of fibre just to serve one property.

Remember that the R100 is a state funded BDUK type scheme - so it doesn't have to be commercially viable. Having said that, there are going to be some properties they don't bother with.
