Redesigned Ecological Homes in New Hertford Pursuit of Top 5-Star Quality Rating

In the picturesque town of Hertford, a new development is making waves for its commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly living. Waterford Wick, a project by Heritage Estate Group, is a unique and innovative development that promises to lower environmental impacts and reduce running costs for its residents.

Located on Sacombe Road, Waterford Wick offers a truly sustainable location that maintains its connection with nature while providing easy access to urban amenities. The development is designed to meet the maximum five-star rating under the Home Quality Mark, a national certification scheme that provides confidence to homebuyers about the quality, sustainability, and environmental friendliness of their homes.

The houses at Waterford Wick are available in various three and four-bedroom layouts, each coming with its own car parking, private garden, and electric car charging points. Each home is carefully crafted to offer light and airy interior spaces with a high-quality specification that includes low energy lighting and smart home technology.

The development is a testament to modern innovation, utilising the latest in renewable technology, innovative design, and state-of-the-art construction techniques. Eco features include highly efficient heat pumps, photovoltaic panels, rainwater recycling, superior sound insulation, waste water heat recovery systems, and advanced ventilation for enhanced air quality. These features ensure that the homes will have an 'A' rated Energy Performance Certificate, indicating low utility bills for residents.

Waterford Wick is not just about eco-friendly living, it's about creating homes that are net-zero carbon. The development is net-zero carbon, with all carbon emissions from the construction phases offset, and 95% of demolition and construction waste diverted from landfill. The development also aims to increase the ecological value of the land and improve biodiversity.

Stuart Smart is responsible for the construction of the energy-efficient houses at Waterford Wick for the Heritage Estate Group. Despite its peaceful location, the development is well connected and just a short distance from Hertford town centre.

This is the first time a small development by a niche developer has been designed to meet this high criteria nationally. With its commitment to sustainability, Waterford Wick is setting a new standard for eco-friendly living in Hertfordshire.
