The future of housing is green at Freshney

There are many benefits to buying a new home – lower running costs, a blank canvas, great purchasing incentives and of course, increased energy efficiency.

As well as helping the environment and lowering the carbon footprint, the other advantage of buying a brand new energy smart home is that it will be kinder to your pocket.

Recent research has shown that improved energy efficiency can reduce average utility bills by £500 per year and the attraction of lower bills in energy efficient new homes has never been stronger.

New homes are built to the latest environmental standards and are six times more energy efficient than second-hand homes.

And at Freshney Green, Stamford Homes’ award-winning development in Grimsby, there is growing demand for future proof homes that offer ‘lifetime living’.

Ever-changing lifestyle needs and environmental considerations have been taken into account in the design of the two, three and four-bedroom homes.

Highlights include:

- Eco-friendly water saving taps and WCs
- Water butts
- Improved heat loss efficiency
- Waste segregation bins
- Timber materials sourced from sustainable areas used in the construction
- Each home is provided with a garden shed for cycle storage

Stamford Homes regional sales manager Melanie Parker, said: “Brand new homes are making extensive efforts to minimise the energy costs of running a home by using thermal-efficient building materials, the latest high-efficiency heating systems and a host of other cost-saving innovations.

“While this has long been the norm at our regional developments, the new homes at Freshney Green are really being seen as our flagship lifetime living homes.

“They officially meet the Level 3 Code for sustainable homes, but maintain a classic and traditional feel.”
