Hayfield has opened a show home for its first EPC A-rated development in the Worcestershire village of Hallow.
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom detached show home is intended to demonstrate how sustainable living need not compromise on luxury and is fitted out accordingly.
Homes at the development, Hayfield Grove, are built to a zero-carbon ready specification that includes solar PV panels, energy efficient underfloor heating, air source heat pump, electric vehicle fast charging points and substantial insulation.
The development includes the creation of 2.5 acres of outstanding new Public Open Space that joins up with the extensive landscaped open space and fully equipped playground that was created as part of the original Hayfield Meadow scheme, which was completed in 2019.
Hayfield is also creating new landscaped walking and cycling routes to connect the scheme into the neighbourhood. New wildflower planting and a biodiverse pond will create significant ecological benefits. The density of the development is much lower than typical new build schemes, with extensive planting incorporated into the masterplan, including orchard tree planting.
