Our spacious designs and sympathetic architecture – which takes design cues from the plethora of traditional properties in the village – will be combined with a zero carbon ready specification that far exceeds the Future Homes Standard. We are excited to showcase how sustainable living doesn’t need to compromise on luxury.”
The Hayfield Crescent development will incorporate M4(2) and M4(3) ‘lifetime homes’ construction standards to offer enhanced accessibility and adaptability, ensuring the 40 new homes are future-proofed for wheelchair users.
Hayfield says it has constructed homes which fit the local appearance, by producing houses that feature: brick detailing, traditional porches and brick chimneys.
