Property Details

These new build homes feature contemporary design with a focus on high specification and energy efficiency. The properties typically achieve an EPC rating of B or above, contributing to lower running costs; according to the Home Builders Federation, new homes can be up to 64% cheaper to heat than an equivalent older property.

Houses often feature thoughtful layouts, including separate dual-aspect lounges and open-plan kitchen/dining/family rooms, which appeal to family living. Kitchens are fitted with high-quality appliances and granite worktops, while properties often include modern family bathrooms and en-suite facilities. A notable large house type, the 5-bedroom 'Sycamore' design, is a three-storey home featuring a master bedroom suite with a walk-through dressing area, an oversized double garage, and a kitchen fitted with premium Siemens appliances. Many homes also include a private garden and allocated parking spaces.
