Berkeley Homes is bringing energy-efficient homes to its new Winterbrook Meadows development in Wallingford.
Featuring a collection of 2, 3, 4 & 5 bedroom homes – the properties at Winterbrook Meadows have been designed to reflect the character and heritage of Winterbrook with the charm and style of Wallingford, incorporating a blend of traditional village values with contemporary design.
Energy-efficient homes
With the cost of living escalating, prospective purchasers will be delighted to learn that the new homes at Winterbrook Meadows have been designed with energy efficiency in mind. Enhanced insulation and double glazing will help minimise heat loss or gain and increase the home’s overall thermal performance. High-quality energy-saving appliances and LED lighting will also contribute to lower running costs.
Each property also includes solar photovoltaic (PV) roof tiles and a wastewater heat recovery system – which will contribute to renewable energy generation.
Solar photovoltaic roof tiles
During daylight hours, the solar photovoltaic roof tiles will harness energy from the sun to generate electricity to help power appliances used during the day – providing a clean and renewable energy source. This helps reduce dependence on traditional energy sources and lowers carbon emissions associated with electricity generation. The PV tiles are designed to be less obtrusive than regular solar panels and will blend seamlessly with the roofing tiles.
Wastewater heat recovery system
The wastewater heat recovery system is a smart and eco-friendly solution that captures and reuses the heat from wastewater from showers and appliances to preheat the water entering the home. This not only improves energy efficiency; it also minimises the household’s overall energy consumption.
Ben Ivey, Sales Director, Berkeley Homes (Oxford & Chiltern), said: “The incorporation of solar photovoltaic roof tiles and a wastewater heat recovery system in our homes at Winterbrook Meadows will help drive energy efficiency and sustainability. These energy-efficient features will not only benefit homeowners by potentially lowering utility bills but also contribute to the broader goal of sustainable living.”
Development design
The new homes will be set amongst meadowland, a village green, children’s play areas, cycle paths and walkways, conveniently located within walking distance of Wallingford town centre and the River Thames.
With a wide range of properties available – from lateral apartment living to starter homes to impressive, detached houses – with an extensive choice of different exterior styles and interior layouts, Winterbrook Meadows will appeal to a wide range of buyers and lifestyles.
An unrivalled standard of living
Berkeley Homes is committed to creating exceptional living spaces – all the homes will benefit from Berkeley’s renowned quality, finish and specification.
Contemporary-styled kitchens with handleless doors feature a selection of Bosch appliances enhanced by laminate or stone worktops and tiled splashbacks. Whilst elegant, contemporary bathrooms come with wall tiling to key areas, further detailing includes a recessed double-fronted mirrored cabinet, a tiled niche in the shower area, a vanity sink unit, plus a chrome heated towel rail.
Downstairs, the houses boast underfloor heating, with a combination of wood effect flooring in the main living areas and carpet included in the bedrooms. Fitted wardrobes in the master bedroom complete the high-quality finishes.
Historic market town
This quintessential English market town in South Oxfordshire seamlessly blends historical charm with an enviable selection of independent shops, boutiques and superb eateries, all complemented by a vibrant community spirit.
Handsome Georgian buildings, cobbled streets and a central marketplace, home to weekly markets championing local farmers, growers, cheese-makers and bakers with food harvested and made within 30 miles of the town, add to the appeal.
Education and connectivity
Wallingford and surrounding areas offer an exceptional selection of schools from nursery through to secondary education – all with a “Good” or “Outstanding” Ofsted rating. The town is also well served by road and rail links – both Cholsey Station and Didcot Parkway are a short drive away, with the fastest journey times to Reading (12 minutes), Maidenhead (33 minutes) and London Paddington (38 minutes).
Pricing and availability
The new homes are available from £387,500 for a 2-bed coach house with 2 bathrooms. The 3-bed houses with two baths are available from £489,500.
