Property Details

The Bovis Homes properties at Redlands Grove feature energy-efficient design, aiming to reduce running costs by up to 64% annually compared to older housing. Specific energy-saving inclusions on many plots, such as 'The Cypress' and 'The Spruce', are PV solar panels, an electric vehicle (EV) charging point, and a wastewater heat recovery system.

House types are primarily two-storey, offering features like an open-plan kitchen/dining area with French doors opening to the garden, and private outdoor space. Larger homes often include an en-suite and a dressing room to the main bedroom, along with a garage and two dedicated parking spaces. The overall scheme includes provisions for attractive open spaces, allotments, and four designated play areas.
