WHY BUY NEW?MAKE YOUR HOME YOUR OWN

BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE
We create high quality eco-friendly and sustainable homes in the best locations. Our outstanding range of new homes is designed for modern living with lower environmental impact, running costs and low maintenance.
LESS CHAIN, LESS HASSLE
You can move into one of our stylish new homes as soon as it is complete. There’s no need to wait for existing owners to move out, reducing the house buying chain and the stress and uncertainty that is often associated with moving, particularly in a second-hand home.
NO NASTY SURPRISES

THE FUTURE IS GREEN
Besides being a haven of comfort and quality each Countryside home comes with sustainability built in. Highly energy and water efficient, each and every property is constructed from materials specially chosen for their low environmental impact.
On top of that, our homes are bursting with eco-friendly features that are also kind on your bank balance. At a time when energy prices are rising, that’s got to make more sense than ever before…
For instance, did you know that on average, £1 in every £3 spent on energy in older homes is instantly wasted? Or that around 25% of the UK’s carbon emissions comes from housing?
With over 100 awards for sustainability since 2000, you can trust a Countryside home to be 6.5 times more energy efficient than one built just 30 years ago.
All of our homes are fitted with low water use appliances throughout, including taps and toilet flushes using less water per use. We even work with suppliers who source from forests certified to either FSC, the PEFC or ‘non-controversial’ sources, meaning products are sourced responsibly.
Our commitment to your environment doesn’t stop there. By building characterful homes set in open green spaces with transport links and amenities nearby, we strive to provide the best possible quality of life for anyone who buys a Countryside home, and create places people love to call home.
