At Woodstock Homes, our approach looks to integrate sustainability into the very fabric of the homes and neighbourhoods we build to ensure that every residence we create has a positive and lasting impact. We take pride in crafting homes that combine innovative architecture with climate conscious practices prioritising energy efficiency, renewable materials, and thoughtful community planning.
Join us on the journey to a climate-resilient future, where sustainability is woven into every aspect of community life, from our homes and neighbourhoods to our business practices.
SAVING MONEY & THE PLANET
Our new homes are designed for improved energy efficiency, offering significant savings compared to older properties. As an HBH-accredited builder, we meet and endeavour to exceed sustainability standards to ensure your home is future-proof.
Every home we build comes standard with solar panels and air source heating, setting a new benchmark for sustainable living. New build houses are 64% more energy efficient on average, which means lower energy bills and a reduced environmental impact. Owners of newly built houses can expect to save around £200 per month on their energy bills, that's a £2,400 annual saving on energy bills.
Choose a home that aligns with your values and embraces sustainable living.

New build homes are increasingly more energy efficient. Less than 5% of existing older properties achieve an A or B Energy Performance Certificate rating (EPC) compared to 86% of new builds.
Carbon Emissions Reduced
%
The average new build home emits 1.33 tonnes of carbon per year, just 39% of that of the average older property, which emits an average of 3.51 tonnes per year.

Beyond energy efficiency, we embrace nature in our sustainability efforts and prioritise biodiversity from the earliest planning stages to deliver the mandatory 10% biodiversity net gain requirement on or near development sites.
Our mission to preserve biodiversity also includes integrating hedgehog runs into all developments. These pathways provide safe passage for hedgehogs amidst habitat loss and help to nurture a biodiverse future
Our dedication to sustainability extends beyond our homes to our operational practices. In partnership with award-winning sustainability consultancy Wanderlands, we're actively pursuing climate conscious strategies and pathways to achieve long-term goals for net zero.
The initial phase of our journey has included a comprehensive carbon audit and the implementation of climate actions targeting emission reductions in our operations, including transitioning to a renewable energy tariff and the adoption of homeworking practices to reduce business travel and commuting.
As we move forward, we'll refine our strategies, deepen our commitments, and set ambitious sustainability goals as we strive to address our environmental impact and contribute positively to our planet's future.
