Over this past month the team have welcomed 17 new home owners into 'the Orchard' in Hillsborough💚

The Orchard delivers affordable, high performance homes on a previously under-utilised brownfield site - a true housing exemplar! 🏡

Each home has solar panels and is constructed using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) for exceptional energy efficiency and year-round comfort ☀️

At the heart of the development is a generous shared green space, creating a place for neighbours to connect, children to play, and the community to thrive 🌱

Homes that are better for our people and better for our planet.
