More about Outlook Place, First Time Buyer award-winner
Outlook Place complies with the Code for Sustainable Homes and integrates the latest technology with its architecture, resulting in sustainable, contemporary living.
To help residents keep their water and heating bills affordable, all of the homes have solar water heating. The homes were built using a highly thermally efficient pre-insulated light gauge steel external wall system. This was made off site, greatly reducing construction time and site wastage. They also have whole house ventilation and heat recovery systems, which reduce the amount of heat lost through ventilation. This means that less heat needs to be produced to keep the homes warm.
With a mixture of slate and timber cladding, the homes in Outlook Place blend in with the site’s leafy surroundings. They have patio gardens, balconies or terraces, and are positioned so that they appear to nestle amongst the trees. The access roads are small and quiet, a new one-way system has been adopted and the road kept to the northern side of the site.
Resident Emma Akwah said: "We couldn't be happier here, the location is fantastic and we have an amazing view. The flat is lovely."
