Tilia Homes has marked the groundbreaking of its new development at Linmere, Houghton Regis, signalling the start of 200 new two-, three- and four-bedroom homes within a growing, nature-led community.

The development is designed to bring new homes alongside the facilities and green space that help a neighbourhood thrive.  Every Tilia Homes property at Linmere will include photovoltaic solar panels, an air-source heat pump and an electric-vehicle charging point as standard.

Linmere has been planned with everyday community life in mind. Residents will be within a few minutes' walk of green space, while walking and cycling routes, bus and rail connections will support more sustainable travel. At the heart of the wider neighbourhood, The Farmstead will provide space for shops, a café, a community hall, local classes, celebrations and business meetings.

Families will also benefit from nearby play parks, open spaces and schools, including three new primary schools and a recently opened secondary school. The location is well connected to the surrounding area, with Leagrave Station around three miles away and the M1 and A5 both less than a mile from the development.

Jon Cook, Regional Managing Director at untypical’s Eastern region said: “The groundbreaking marked an important milestone for Linmere and for the wider Houghton Regis community. We are proud to be progressing homes that respond to local needs: energy-efficient, thoughtfully designed places to live, set within a community with green space, schools and facilities for people of all ages.

“Our ambition is not simply to build homes, but to help create a welcoming neighbourhood where new and existing residents can connect, spend time outdoors and enjoy the services close to home.”

The homes will be located at Waterslade Way, Linmere, Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire, LU5 5QZ.
