Family-friendly homes in Telford

A visit to Trenchwood Gardens is a must for families looking for a home in Telford that’s easy to manage and efficient to run.
The Redrow development in Sommerfield Road offers a stand-out range of two, three and four-bedroom homes from the sought-after New Heritage Collection. Some of the larger properties are almost ready to move into and are the ideal choice for buyers with families.
Pauline Turnbull, sales director for Redrow Homes (Midlands), explains: “Location is a key factor to consider when purchasing a new home and Trenchwood Gardens ticks all of the right boxes, making it a natural setting for our New Heritage Collection. With a choice of schools nearby, it’s the perfect place to put down roots and raise a family. The homes are also well placed as a base for commuters as the M54 is within easy reach, along with Oakengates railway station; while Telford town centre is just a short journey away offering a wealth of amenities and attractions.”
Two-bedroom homes are available from £119,995 and three-bedroom properties from £139,995.
A choice of four-bedroom homes are almost ready to move into, with prices from £184,995.
Designed and built with pride, they all boast high specification, family-friendly interiors with convivial open-plan layouts.
Kitchens are well equipped with integrated top brand name appliances including microwave, oven and fridge freezer, plus floor to ceiling cabinets and extra wide drawers that are both practical and stylish; while bathrooms and en-suites boast sleek modern suites, quality fixtures and fittings and an exclusive tile range.
Well insulated, with double glazing and central heating included as standard, the homes at Trenchwood Gardens are among just 1% of the nation’s homes that achieve a ‘B’ rating for energy efficiency.
“Government regulations require new homes to be built to increasingly demanding environmental standards and our new homes are packed with features designed to minimise energy use and help save householders’ money,” Pauline explained.
“These include highly efficient heating systems with thermostatic heating control; state of the art double glazed doors and windows that are less draughty; ultra-effective wall and roof insulation; ground insulation to help keep floors warm; and energy-efficient light fittings. They also boast water-efficient kitchen and bathroom fittings for further savings.”
New build homes are 40% more energy efficient than those built only a decade ago and 70% more economical than properties built before 1990.
Research commissioned three years ago found that living in a new home could save up to £556 a year on average energy bills compared with older-style homes. With the cost of gas and electricity due to rise by 18% this winter the average saving could now be even higher.
“The cost of making an older property as energy efficient as one our new homes soon mounts up. To install a new heating system, loft insulation and new windows in a typical three-bedroom home would set you back almost £10,000,” Pauline added.
