Year 1

Houses on this level site will be carbon neutral. Almost due South facing aspect will maximise electricity generation from solar panels. The agricultural land to the North is in our ownership and can be utilised for ground source heat pumps. Any water runoff from the site can be harvested and/or dissipated onto the same. The site does not flood. The site sits on the 28A bus route into Bedford and also bus routes to Keysoe primary and Sharnbrook secondary schools. Facilities within walking or cycling distances include The Crown pub, All Saints Church, Baptist Church, Village Hall and Top End Stores. There are many footpaths and bridleways around the village. In short, car use is not essential to live here.
