Plenty of room for family, friends, pets and all your festive gatherings.

Open plan kitchen and living areas make it easy to come together during Christmas, but with generously sized bedrooms and separate front rooms, there’s space for you to find a peaceful moment too! And because family life comes with plenty of stuff, you’ll find smart storage solutions throughout every Peter Ward home.
7. Key to a Better Lifestyle
Modern homes for a low-maintenance lifestyle. Less time for repairs & more time for fun!
Why buy a new home? Unlike older homes, where costly fixes can crop up from day one, a new home is exactly that. From the boiler and appliances to fixtures and fittings, everything is brand new and built to modern standards with high-quality materials. That means no unexpected repair bills, DIY headaches or outdated technology to fight with. With so many things on your Christmas to-do list, it’s reassuring to know that emergency repairs won’t be on it! Instead, you can settle in to enjoy a festive film night or Christmas drinks with the new neighbours.
8. Key to Eco Living
Sustainable homes with green credentials. Good for you and good for the planet.
Thanks to features like high-spec double-glazed windows and draught-proof doors, plus water-efficient taps, toilets, showers and appliances, your new home is built to do its bit for the planet and keep your running costs down. In fact, according to HBF research, new homes emit 65% less carbon a year than older properties. And whether you already have an electric car or you’re considering it, it’s good to know that all Peter Ward homes come with an EV charger as standard. It’s just one more of the many benefits of a new home.
9. Key to Community
