SAVING YOU MONEY
According to the Home Builders Federation, on average, energy bills for new build homes are up to 65% cheaper. When compared to older properties, the average monthly saving on energy bills for a new build property currently stands at £130, totalling up to £1,574 per year. Those that buy a new build house specifically see even greater annual savings of £1,980.
GREEN MORTGAGES
By buying a new energy efficient Linden Home you could take advantage of exclusive ‘Green’ mortgage products. A mortgage lender could offer lower interest rates on properties that carry an energy performance certificate or a predicted energy assessment rating of A – C. Think of it as a reward for buyers who are purchasing an energy efficient home. All our standard homes have a rating of A or B so this type of mortgage may be ideal if you are looking to purchase a new build home.
KEEPING YOU COSY
Unlike older properties, our homes come with high efficiency double glazing as standard, letting plenty of light and warmth in while minimising heat loss and reducing the amount of noise you’ll hear within your home. Not only do they keep you cosy they also reduce the amount of external noise that you’ll hear within your home.
Additional roof and floor insulation are among the other unseen features included with our homes that will help reduce the costs of keeping your home warm in the winter months, while also keeping you cool in the summer.
REDUCING WATER USAGE
Our kitchens and bathrooms incorporate water saving measures, without compromising on style or functionality.
These features mean our homes use up to 20% less water* than the UK average. Our taps and showers use aerated technology to provide the feeling of a strong flow, whilst using less water. Plus, our dual low flush toilets use the minimum amount of water to ensure less waste.
*Average Linden home uses 100-110 litres/person/day compared to UK average of 140 litres/person/day according to the Energy Savings Trust

The new town of Sherford will be a wonderful place to make as your home. Its proximity to shops, services and schools are just some of the reasons to search this location for new builds. Plymouth and all its history and vibrancy is just 4 miles away, there are excellent road and rail links within short distances, and the surrounding area of the South Hams offers a scenic natural landscape, including nearby Dartmoor.
With so much available close to home, the eclectic port city of Plymouth has a vast range of things to see and do all year round. Shoppers will appreciate the excellent choice of high street and independent shops in the Drake Circus, Armada and Broadway Shopping Centres. There are plenty of places to find something to eat and drink, with restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars throughout the city and close to the waterfront too. And if you’re looking for entertainment or culture, you can visit the Merchant’s House Museum, or enjoy a live music event or performance at the Theatre Royal and Plymouth Pavilion.
For those who want to discover more about the history of the city, there is a number of historical and fun attractions to explore, including Viking Stone, Smeaton’s Tower and the National Marine Aquarium.
Of course, you may simply want to enjoy the beauty of the nearby South Hams countryside, which is conveniently located just a short distance away.
Beyond Plymouth, you’ll find some equally as attractive and entertaining locations to visit. Just 26 miles from Sherford is the seaside town of Paignton. This part of the English Riviera is hugely popular with visitors from all over, and is where you’ll find a long sandy beach, great shops and green open spaces. Easily reached by car or train, you’ll find a good choice of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars in the town centre. There are several large parks to relax in, and the beachfront is just a few moments away from the shops. And with a large zoo to explore, you’ll find there’s always something to keep you and your family occupied.
Less than 30 miles from home, and just north of Paignton, is the large seaside resort town of Torquay. There are plenty of activities to experience here for all the family, including a zoo & aquarium and a dinosaur exhibition. You’ll find a good selection of shops - both independent and high street brands - as well as an excellent range of places to eat and drink. There is a great choice of restaurants, bars and pubs, but Torquay is attracting more and more people who are looking for fine dining; The Orange Tree and The Elephant restaurants both offer a wonderful choice of dishes in an elegant setting. And don’t forget, you can’t leave Torquay without a walk along the seafront and the harbour with an ice cream!
Families searching for houses and flats for sale in Plymouth will find a good choice of Ofsted rated primary and secondary schools within a short distance of the development. Just a few minutes’ walk away is Elburton Primary School (rated ‘Outstanding’). Other primary schools can be found close by; Dunstone Primary (‘Good’) is a mile away, Oreston Community Academy (‘Good’) is just over 2 miles away, while Prince Rock Primary (‘Outstanding’) and Lipson Vale Primary (‘Good’) are 3 and 5 miles away respectively.
