We are launching the homes by appointment only, so we urge anyone interested to get in touch as soon as possible to secure their place.”
Bowers Close has been built to an exceptionally high standard with a stunning specification throughout each home. Internally, flooring is provided throughout, with high-quality luxury vinyl tiling (LVT) to the downstairs areas and bathrooms/ensuites and carpets to the upstairs rooms.

The homes feature Air Source Heat Pumps and are traditionally designed using a Fabric First Approach,prioritising energy efficiency while meeting National Space Standards and Secured by Design standards. The development incorporates soft landscaping and public green space, enhancing the suburban character and providing a tranquil environment for residents.
