Families living in The Meadows have shared how they have halved their heating bills and live a 'perfect life' in swanky modern houses. Tucked away in the old part of The Meadows, and surrounded by Victorian terraced houses, people have revealed their secret to living a happy life from their new-built, eco homes.
The development, on the corner of Wilford Crescent West and Hobart Close, was built by the housing developer Blueprint. It comprises 24 new homes and 10 art deco apartments which have been built to meet low energy and sustainability standards.
Ash Vipat, who works in the construction business and also lives at one of the properties, said he was "very wise" for moving into one of the houses. The 32-year-old added: "I work in construction, I know what I am talking about. I have a friend who lives in a property of a similar size and I pay half of what he is paying when it comes to heating.
