Energy-efficient living by the sea

New homes are far more environmentally friendly and sustainable than they have ever been. In fact, due to new building standards that were introduced in 2006 and 2010, new homes are now 40% more energy efficient than those built at the beginning of the decade.

So if you are looking for an energy-efficient home, one that is practical to live in, economical to run and incredibly stylish, head to Combe Ridge in Eastbourne.

Built by award-winning housebuilder Millwood Designer Homes, this exclusive collection of just three five-bed detached properties is situated in the most tranquil setting, nestled into the lower slopes of the South Downs National Park.

Combe Ridge benefits from the latest advances in construction, insulation and energy-efficient technology. Highly-efficient heating systems coupled with comprehensive levels of insulation and air tightness all help to create homes that are comfortable to live in and economical to run.

High levels of specification also help to ensure they are as energy efficient as possible. Induction hobs, low-energy fittings and UPVC windows and doors are just some of the things that will help reduce your living costs.

Says Graham Engley of Combe Ridge selling agents Taylor Engley: “With the price of gas and electricity continually rising, now is the time to buy new, and what better place to buy than at Combe Ridge. These beautiful new homes incorporate exceptional design, stylish interiors and an impeccable finish with practicality, low maintenance and energy-efficiency. Each home comes with a ten-year Buildmark Warranty and Millwood also has a dedicated Customer Aftercare Department, providing you with peace of mind for two years after you move into the property.

“Combe Ridge also benefits from a fantastic location right next to the National Park, under two miles from Eastbourne’s town centre and with distant panoramic views to the sea, so it is not surprising that only two homes remain. Make your move down to the coast and you could be benefitting from a wonderful lifestyle in your energy-efficient home.”

Prices from £875,000. The show home is open Thursday to Monday between 11am and 4pm. For more information, or to register your interest, visit millwooddesignerhomes.co.uk.
