Choose a greener lifestyle in Bearsted

If you want to live in a home that will have your friends green with envy, consider one of the energy-efficient properties that are available at Millwood Designer Homes’ development, Oast View in Bearsted, Kent.

With some estimates suggesting that buildings account for almost one half of the world's material and energy consumption, one sixth of fresh water use, and a quarter of all wood harvested, it’s time we all took a much greener approach to our lifestyle.

With an array of energy-saving features, The Wollmers is an impressive property which has been divided into two three-bedroom semi-detached homes, both of which have been designed and built to offer the very best in green living.

“At Millwood, we understand the responsibility that we have as a housebuilder to be as environmentally sensitive as we possibly can when it comes to building new homes,” says Richard Elliott, Sales Manager of Millwood Designer Homes. “All of our properties benefit from timber frames which are used to not only reduce carbon emissions in the build process but also to achieve high SAP ratings. We responsibly source all our materials, which means that the timber is taken from managed forests and we try to use reclaimed bricks, roof tiles and hanging tiles where possible, helping to blend the properties seamlessly into their surroundings, benefiting both the environment and the local community.”

But Millwood doesn’t stop there. Many of its properties will also benefit from a number of other energy-efficient qualities, and The Wollmers is no exception.

A rainwater harvesting system provides recycled water for irrigating gardens, flushing toilets and even supplying washing machines. Your garden will also benefit from the addition of rain-water butts to collect and store rainwater, and compost bins that turn kitchen and garden waste into a valuable and nutrient-rich plant food.

Low-energy fittings, recycling facilities and reduced flow rates and water consumption are just a few more ways in which your home at Oast View will become both energy-efficient and cost-effective for you and your family, making yours the greenest home in Bearsted.
