Come home to a woodland retreat in Worcester
It's well documented that living close to nature can have a positive effect on people’s health and well-being.
Many of us dream of living somewhere we can enjoy the great outdoors close to home and residents of Earl’s Park can do just that as some 20 acres of woodland will form part of the development.
Species-rich grassland will be retained at the Earl’s Court Farm site, which was most recently used as arable land; while an existing wet pond area will be enhanced, additional trees planted along the streets and new woodland areas created.
It’s all good news for homebuyers at Earl’s Park following a recent Government sponsored report.
Pauline Turnbull, sales director for Redrow Homes (Midlands) commented: “The UK National Ecosystem Assessment looked into nature’s value to society and concluded that the health benefits of living near natural wildlife and green spaces are worth up to £300 per person per year.
“Residents of Earl’s Park will be able to enjoy the great outdoors right on their doorstep as we’ll be creating a native broadleaf woodland, wet woodland and rich grasslands as part of the development, with a lot of fruit and flowering species to provide food for birds and animals.”
Oak, crack willow, holly and field maple are among the trees that will be planted at Earl’s Park, Many of them can already be found in the local area and it’s hoped that by planting more trees the biodiversity of the area will be improved.
Cherry and apple trees will be planted along the streets, where Redrow is building homes that look traditional from the outside, but are bright, modern and full of family friendly features inside.
As well as living near to nature, Redrow’s customers will also enjoy the benefits of owning a brand new home.
“Our purchasers won’t have to worry about finding the extra cash for repairs and renovations that an older property is likely to need. Instead they can enjoy the fun of choosing the finish of their kitchen units, the bathroom tiles and even the light switches to create a home that’s as individual as they are. Well insulated with double glazing and central heating as standard, our new homes are also up to 40% more energy efficient than their second hand counterparts,” added Pauline.
Current availability includes four and five-bedroom homes, with prices from £249,995.
Potential purchasers can experience what life would be like at Earl’s Park with a visit to the show homes, open daily from 10am to 5.30pm.
