Carefully selecting sites of no more than a dozen homes, each new property is designed to reflect its location. We use natural materials and traditional techniques, where possible, to craft bespoke new homes.
The Ashgrove Homes team work with our buyers on each development to tailor the worksmanship and internal specifications, from floor finishes to kitchen work surfaces. We use local contractors and craftsman, creating a sustainable development from the moment the first brick is laid. 15 We recognise that the homes we build form part of the character and fabric of an area, with the materials we use of great importance. We also want to ensure new residents feel part of their new community. Our work therefore doesn’t stop once we hand over the keys, but will continue with you afterwards to help ensure you settle into your new home.
At present we are shaping new homes in Henley, Mortimer and Beaconsfield. If you would like to find out more, please visit our website www.ashgrovehomesuk.com or call us o n 01491 352222.
