and splashback in all homes bar the five beds, which have a quartz worktop and splashback. All homes also featured fully integrated appliances including Neff ovens, five ring induction hobs, fridge freezers and dishwashers.

Porcelain wall and floor tiles were used, along with bespoke white painted staircases and oak handrails. All houses were wired for satellite television in the living area, dining room, study and all bedrooms, as well as including a wired-in video doorbell.
Landscaping forms an important part of Esquire’s sustainability policy. The company says it takes a “holistic” approach to development to offer a wide range of environmental benefits for customers. Masterplans are designed to allow for less homes and more open space – “inviting nature to bloom in both private gardens and public open spaces, with a mix of grassed areas and native planting for wildlife,” it says.

The developer also includes “rejuvenated and expanded footpath networks” to encourage homeowners to reduce their car use, helped also by the development’s connection to public transport. The landscaping at Millers Field comprised a central green space which “creates a focal vista as you enter the site from the driveway and through the walled entrance,” explains Wilford. He adds: “The central green space offers visual amenity and ecological enhancements within the development, and improves the spaciousness within the site.” As well as the ecological benefits, this creates a community feel within the development, “allowing new homeowners to connect with neighbours,” says Mattingly.
squire also contributed financially to a local re-wilding scheme led by the Parish Council that backs onto the Millers Field site. “The contributions were used to improve accessibility to the woodland for the community and enhanced enjoyment of this space in the open countryside,” Wilford explains.
