Burnholme Green brings together 78 high-quality new homes alongside custom-build plots, all arranged around generous green spaces designed to support healthy, sustainable lifestyles. The development offers a mix of 1 to 4-bedroom homes, including some fully accessible properties and multi-generational homes, ideal for families who want to live, grow and support each other in one place.
Each home has its own private garden, while safe, car-free ginnels to the rear provide secure spaces where children can play freely and neighbours can connect. Upper-floor apartments and duplexes enjoy large private balconies, ensuring that every home has access to outdoor space.
Designed to meet the rigorous Passivhaus standard, the homes provide outstanding comfort year-round and use very little energy to heat, thanks to exceptional insulation, triple-glazed windows, and solar panels on every roof.
