an architect's impression of House 1 in Spring Fields

Chalk Hill Contemporary Homes is holding an Open Day, from 10.30am – 4pm on Saturday 21 June, to launch the remaining four homes for sale at its Spring Fields development in Ifold, near Cranleigh and Horsham, in Surrey. Designed to provide eco-friendly living, each home has an impressive specification and in the context of rapidly-rising fuel prices, they are expected to save money as well.

Each home is heated by a ground-source heat pump operating at up to 380 per cent efficiency, with no onsite carbon emissions and no fuel-deliveries required. Triple-glazed, argon-filled, timber windows and comprehensive insulation throughout, to Scandinavian levels, further reduces energy requirements. Additionally, zoned underfloor heating enables the temperature in each bathroom, bedroom and living room to be independently optimised.

Low energy lighting and appliances, fittings to reduce water consumption and rainwater collection complete the environmentally-friendly initiatives in these ground-breaking homes. Heat recovery and pollen-filtered ventilation is also fitted as standard to the largest home and is available as an option on others.

Spring Fields is set within two acres of professionally landscaped grounds with mature oak trees and extensive planting beds. The use of Cape Cod cladding and clean architectural lines ensures these homes are distinctively contemporary and complement their rural setting. All the homes are pre-wired for security alarm systems and benefit from both a 10-year structural guarantee as well as substantial guarantees of items such as cabling, plumbing, windows and flooring.

Managing Director Chris Agace comments: “These homes offer significant value-for-money. I believe it is very unlikely that a prospective purchaser will find this combination of design, specification and energy-saving focus in any other local property.”

Ifold benefits from a local general store and is centrally located for shopping, schools and services in nearby Loxwood, Kirdford, Cranleigh, Horsham and Billingshurst. Of particular note is the ‘Little Acorns’ nursery within walking distance and rated as “Outstanding” by Ofsted. Public transport is available by bus to Godalming, Guildford and surrounding towns and villages. The commuter is well-served by nearby mainline stations at Billingshurst & Haslemere and also in Guildford.

The remaining homes at Spring Fields offer a choice of four, five or six bedrooms ranging from £499,950 to £895,000. The purchase price includes a free independent, professional interior design service. In addition, for reservations made between 14 and 28 June, the developer is offering an independent, professional garden design service and a substantial contribution towards the purchase and installation on site of Bang & Olufsen audio-visual equipment.
