Award-winning housebuilder Newland Homes has returned to Trowbridge, with Trowbridge’s first collection of zero carbon homes at Lambrok Mead on Frome Road.
Lambrok Mead continues Newland Homes’ climate considerate commitment with 50 zero carbon two, three and four-bedroom homes. Each home will help future residents reduce their own carbon footprint with highly efficient renewable energy features. Air source heat pumps, combined with high levels of insulation and solar panels, mean these homes are built to deliver zero carbon living from the moment residents move in, rather than being designed to achieve zero carbon at a later date.
Trowbridge is already home to several Newland Homes’ developments, with the company recognised with a trio of Trowbridge Town Enhancement Awards in 2005, 2011 and 2014. 2021 marked the completion of Newland Place; a brownfield regeneration of the former Wiltshire Council offices on Bradley Road. Last year, Newland Homes proudly sponsored the 200th anniversary celebrations of Ushers Brewery, highlighting the company’s ongoing investment in the town’s heritage and community.
Homes at Lambrok Mead are set to be of the highest quality, thanks to site manager, Conrad Maggs, who oversaw the construction of Newland Place and now returns to Trowbridge. Conrad’s reputation for delivering excellent homes has earned him national recognition from the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) for his meticulous attention to detail, high-quality workmanship and exemplary site management.
Beyond his own achievements, Conrad is passionate about nurturing the next generation of construction professionals and has played an important role in developing several site managers over the years, including recently promoted site manager, Rhys Capstaff-Taylor. Having started his career as Conrad’s assistant, Rhys has progressed through the business under Conrad’s mentorship
“We are delighted to be back building the first zero carbon homes in Trowbridge,” explained Conrad. “Throughout my career, I’ve always enjoyed helping people develop their skills and progress within the industry, so it’s particularly rewarding to see colleagues that I’ve mentored, like Rhys, go on to take on site management roles of their own. Knowing that commitment to quality and craftsmanship is being passed on to the next generation is something I’m very proud of.”
Conrad and Rhys are gearing up for a busy few weeks as Lambrok Mead opens to the public this month, with a handful of homes already released for sale. The new homes are ‘A’ rated for energy efficiency and environmental impact, surpassing current building standards. Beyond the homes themselves, the development has been carefully designed to enhance local biodiversity and provide attractive green spaces.
“We’ve also been careful to design a comprehensive landscaping scheme, which over time will replace the existing declining trees with more appropriate replacement native species. There will also be a substantial area of public open space to the north of the Lambrok Stream, ensuring that the area continues to be a great place for residents and other locals to enjoy the outdoors” explains Conrad.
Newland Homes is holding a limited number of ‘dusty boots’ tours of the first homes which have been released for purchase at Lambrok Mead, prior to the showhome and marketing suite opening. This gives interested parties a chance to don their hard hats and take a tour behind the scenes of the development, before it officially opens to the public. With zero carbon homes now available to purchase from £310,000, with Movemaker and part exchange schemes to help you move, Lambrok Mead is shaping up to be another award-winning development in Trowbridge.
