31st July 2007 Print

Becoming more eco friendly and aware of the environment is something we are all taking more seriously than ever before and no one more so than Sandbach-based Persimmon Homes Mercia.

At The Beeches at Ellesmere Port, you’ll see that the UK’s leading house builder is successfully combining the stylish design of a traditional home with the benefits of eco-friendly Modern Methods of Construction using off-site manufacturing from Space4.

Inside and outside, a Space4 home has the look and feel of a traditional property with the added bonus that the build process is more efficient, where impact on the environment has been reduced. On the outside, properties, built using brick, stone and render feature the familiar elegant design of a Persimmon home while the hi-tech backbone creates new levels of environmental efficiency.

Space4 homes are setting new standards for a whole host of environmental benefits – its patented manufacturing process means properties boast superior fire resistance while the high-performance insulation built into the structural walls deliver superior standards of thermal efficiency. This, together with high quality windows and doors means lower energy consumption and an end to draughts and in the days of ever-escalating utilities costs, the benefits are considerable.

“Going green is more than just a ‘noughties buzzword’ and is something we are placing high on our agenda” comments Gill Dale, field sales manager for Persimmon Homes Mercia.

Gill continues: “As we are proving at The Beeches, going green can be both attractive and affordable. By incorporating eco-friendly Modern Methods of Construction with striking designs that are synonymous with traditional properties, it is possible to be environmentally aware without paying over the odds for a property that looks too cutting edge.”

There are so many benefits to off-site timber frame homes – properties are constructed at a much faster rate which not only reduces effects on the environment, but also means street scenes and developments are completed much quicker – a bonus for anyone who wants to move into what feels like a new community rather than a building site - and The Beeches is no exception.

Gill concludes: “The Beeches is one of those great developments which combine the essential ingredients for modern living – with the added assurance of those all important green credentials.

“Overall Space4 homes help create a better place to live and work. Lower consumption of heating fuels and transport helps reduce CO2 emissions, whilst the use of sustainable, recyclable materials creates less impact on the wider environment. What’s more, getting green should also increase the selling potential should residents wish to relocate in the future – the benefits are endless.”

Homes on release at The Beeches are currently priced from £159,950.

The Beeches at Rossfield Park is a unique development. It has a range of stylish two bedroom apartments and three and four bedroom homes in a great location in the Wirral Peninsula, with the River Dee on one side and the Mersey on the other. Ideal for commuters it is situated just off junction 8 of the M53, providing easy access for those working in Manchester, Chester or Liverpool. Liverpool Airport which offers international flights into Europe and beyond is also just minutes away.

Ellesmere Port is a place of contrast with beautiful countryside parks and an industrial commercial heritage. It has a thriving local community with busy shopping centre and market and is supported educationally by Brookside Primary School and Ellesmere Port Catholic High School. Keen shoppers will also be pleased to hear that the famous Cheshire Oaks retail park is only a few minutes drive from the development.
