Property Details
All homes are constructed using a sustainable timber frame and a design approach that draws inspiration from traditional farmstead architecture, utilising a palette of two complimentary, warm earthy-toned bricks and brown tiled roofs. The development is designed across three distinct character areas—The Gardens, The Rural Edge, and The Farmstead—to create a varied, high-quality neighbourhood setting. The design prioritises green infrastructure, aiming to achieve a 17% biodiversity net gain, incorporating new wildlife enhancements such as bird nesting features and bat boxes directly into the building fabric. Certain properties offer specific features, such as a three-bedroom home type measuring 1,845 sq. ft., which includes a dedicated ground-floor study and a bonus studio room with an en-suite and private terrace above the garage.
Cala Homes holds a five-star rating for customer satisfaction from the Home Builders Federation (HBF). All properties are sold with a 10-year NHBC or similar industry-regulated structural warranty, with the first two years of coverage provided directly by the developer, which includes a 24-hour response service for emergency calls.
