SHOWHOME LEADS THE WAY IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY

With seven out of 10 buyers saying energy efficiency is a priority in a new home*, Dandara has launched a new showhome at Paddock View in Yapton, Sussex designed to appeal to today’s cost conscious and environmentally aware house hunter.

The three bedroom Upnor, features a host of energy efficient features and is available with Help to Buy, which requires buyers to reserve by October and move in by December next year.

Located on North End Road in the tranquil village, the Upton includes low heat-loss hot water cylinders ensuring water stays hotter for longer and the latest energy and water efficient appliances in its stylish contemporary kitchen.

Well insulated external doors improve soundproofing and reduce heat loss, which contribute to lowering energy bills and it also has an energy efficient boiler installed to help manage consumption levels. All of the homes at Paddock View have achieved an EPC rating B thanks to these features.

Featuring a bright welcoming interior, it is the perfect home for families. Prices for this stylish house-type start from £415,000.

This lovely three bedroom detached home offers a spacious living area at the front of the property and a stylish open plan kitchen/dining room to the rear with French doors leading to the garden. A separate utility room, cloakroom and understairs storage completes the ground floor.

Upstairs the principal bedroom has its own ensuite shower room and there are two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and handy storage on the landing. This home also benefits from driveway parking.

Nicki Dennis, Head of Sales at Dandara Southern, said: “Buyers are acutely aware of their finances as a result of the cost-of-living crisis and it has never been more important to reduce monthly outgoings where possible.

“In the past, visitors to a showhome would ask us where we purchased the curtains or where the sofa came from. They still ask about the furnishings but now they are arriving with a list of questions about energy efficiency features and running costs as well. We estimate that buyers could save up to 52%?? on energy costs on a new build home like the Upnor compared to a similar-sized older property.

“Now is the time to make a move before Help to Buy closes and while there is still time to cut spiralling bills.”

The housebuilder recently launched the second phase of the popular development which includes 70 two, three and four bedroom detached homes, along with 2 two-bedroom bungalows.

The first phase of 38 homes in the picturesque development has already been a big hit with buyers thanks to its countryside location offering easy access to coastal living with the South Downs and the seaside within reach.

Paddock View is surrounded by scenic countryside yet is within easy reach of local amenities with the historic market town of Arundel just a 15-minute drive away and Littlehampton only a 10-minute drive. Perfect for families, Yapton CE Primary School and Yapton Pre-School are located next door to the development, both of which are rated Good by Ofsted.

Barnham railway station is located less than two miles away from the development, offering services to Portsmouth in 30 minutes and London Victoria within an hour and a half.

There are currently a range of three and four bedroom detached homes available at Paddock View, with prices starting from £415,000 and Help to Buy available on selected plots.
