Images and floorplans shown are used for illustrative purposes only and are representative only, some images may be computer generated. They may not be the same as the actual home you purchase, the specification may differ and may include optional upgrades and extras at an additional cost. Individual home features such as windows, brick, carpets, paint and other material colours may vary and also the specification of fittings may vary. Furnishings and furniture are not included. Please check with our sales advisers for details of the exact specification available for each type of home and the associated prices.

A number of homes on our developments are designated as affordable homes in accordance with the requirements of the section 106 planning agreement. These are specifically shown on the site plan in grey, these affordable rent or shared ownership properties are marked to make it clear that they are not available for general sale. The location of affordable homes is indicative only. The remaining homes on the development are available for open market sale (including multi-unit sales) to purchasers, who could be private individuals or another type of purchaser (for example local authorities, housing associations or other commercial landlords), and, therefore, the mix of tenures on a development may change.
