Three quarters of the homes at Newland Homes’ Kempster’s Reach development in Worton, near Devizes, have now been sold, as the climate considerate housebuilder highlights the scale of the environmental measures incorporated into the development.
With 6,320 square metres of wildflower planting, equivalent to almost a third of Devizes’ popular Hillworth Park, Kempster’s Reach provides a valuable haven for wildlife alongside its collection of energy-efficient, zero carbon homes.
The wildflower areas will provide food and shelter for pollinators, including bees and butterflies, while bringing colour and seasonal interest to the development. They form part of a wider approach to biodiversity, with approximately 28 wildlife features incorporated into the plans, including bat and bird boxes, along with hedgehog highways. Hedgehog highways are small openings allowing hedgehogs to roam freely between properties in search of food and shelter, helping to create a network of connected habitats.
The environmental credentials extend to the homes themselves. A total of 252 solar panels have been installed on the rooftops. Together with air source heat pumps and high-performance insulation, they help homeowners reduce their reliance on energy from the grid and keep running costs down.
Marcus Evans, Sales and Marketing Director for Newland Homes, said: “Reaching the 75% sold milestone is a fantastic achievement and a real endorsement of what we’re creating at Kempster’s Reach. Buyers are increasingly looking beyond the four walls of a property, considering not just the quality and energy efficiency of their home, but the environment and community around it too.”
Among those who have already made Kempster’s Reach their home is Ellie Mayes, who was attracted by the combination of countryside and a modern home: “If you want village life in the countryside without having to do up an old house, on a small development that feels spacious and lovely, with views, walks, and easy access to nearby towns, then Kempster’s Reach is the one for you.”
Located on the edge of open countryside in the Wiltshire village of Worton, around three miles from Devizes, Kempster’s Reach offers a collection of three, four and five bedroom zero carbon homes, combining architectural character with the latest energy efficient technology.
With three quarters of the development now sold, a limited selection of homes remains available, including properties that are built and ready to move into, with prices starting from £525,000. Newland Homes is also offering to pay the 5% deposit on selected properties, helping buyers take their next step onto or up the property ladder.
