New Show Home boasts green credentials

At Woodham Park in leafy northern Woking, Millgate Homes is set to unveil a new Show Home that combines lavish living with eco-friendly design. The detached, 5 bedroom home is one of two properties on the development of just nine homes that features an air-to-water heat pump system.

By converting the energy of the outside air into heat to create a comfortable temperature inside the house, the system offers an efficient and environmentally sound alternative to traditional heating methods, as Stuart Laughton of supplier Isoenergy explains:

“The air-water heat pump system is far more efficient that a conventional heating system – it can lead to a substantial reduction in energy consumption for heating, so the benefits are both environmental and economic.”

The inclusion of the pumps represents Millgate’s commitment to the environmental agenda, as David Wrigley, Head of Sales & Marketing at Millgate Homes explains:

“We take green issues very seriously and are genuinely excited to incorporate such ecologically sound technology at Woodham Park. While all of our homes score highly in the NHBC’s Environmental and Energy ratings, the purchasers of these two properties will have a helping hand to further reduce their carbon footprint, while enjoying truly elegant living – no compromise!”

And at Woodham Park, purchasers will not have to sacrifice style and comfort for eco-friendliness, as here the two go hand-in-hand. The accommodation and specification offered by these homes offers designer living tailored to meet the demands of busy, modern lives. Kitchens and utility rooms are graced by furniture from the Mark Wilkinson collection alongside a full complement of Miele appliances to provide all the technology a discerning chef could need.

Bathrooms, cloakrooms and en-suites are just as opulent, with sanitary ware by Villeroy & Boch, bespoke fitted furniture, heated towel ladder radiators and mirrors. And while these specification items are highly conspicuous, one key feature of these homes is less evident, yet just as impressive. An advanced Bang & Olufsen cable network runs throughout selected rooms, allowing purchasers the option to link both audio and video with full infrared remote to enjoy the ultimate in home entertainment.

Add to this a delectable waterside location – several of the properties, including the two featuring the air-water heating systems, have gardens that slope gently to the tranquil Basingstoke Canal – and the rare opportunity these homes represent becomes evident. For commuters, Woking is well placed. London is easily accessible via road or rail - the A3 offers easy access by car, while Woking station, roughly 2 miles away, provides regular fast trains to London Waterloo in around 27 minutes*.

The new Show Home is set to launch on Saturday, 5th April. To find out more, visit the Marketing suite, open daily from 10am to 4pm, Tel 01932 355382 or call Hamptons International on 01372 469279. With six of the nine homes already sold, prices range from £1,050,000 to £1,490,000 and details of all present and forthcoming Millgate developments can be found at www.millgatehomes.co.uk
