SAVING YOU MONEY
According to the Home Builders Federation, on average, energy bills for new build homes are 58% cheaper. The monthly average energy bill for a new build property is £109, whereas the bill for existing property is £245 – that’s a saving of £140* per month or £1,685 per year. Those that buy a new build house specifically see even greater annual savings of £2,195. It's thanks to A-rated boilers, low energy LED lighting, smart thermostats and installing appliances with high efficiency ratings.
GREEN MORTGAGES
By buying a new energy efficient Linden Home you could take advantage of exclusive ‘Green’ mortgage products. A mortgage lender could offer lower interest rates on properties that carry an energy performance certificate or a predicted energy assessment rating of A – C. Think of it as a reward for buyers who are purchasing an energy efficient home. All our standard homes have a rating of A or B so this type of mortgage may be ideal if you are looking to purchase a new build home.
KEEPING YOU COSY
Unlike older properties, our homes come with high efficiency double glazing as standard, letting plenty of light and warmth in while minimising heat loss and reducing the amount of noise you’ll hear within your home. Not only do they keep you cosy they also reduce the amount of external noise that you’ll hear within your home.
Additional roof and floor insulation are among the other unseen features included with our homes that will help reduce the costs of keeping your home warm in the winter months, while also keeping you cool in the summer.
REDUCING WATER USAGE
Our kitchens and bathrooms incorporate water saving measures, without compromising on style or functionality.
These features mean our homes use up to 20% less water* than the UK average. Our taps and showers use aerated technology to provide the feeling of a strong flow, whilst using less water. Plus, our dual low flush toilets use the minimum amount of water to ensure less waste.
*Average Linden home uses 100-110 litres/person/day compared to UK average of 140 litres/person/day according to the Energy Savings Trust

Orchard Grove: beautiful new homes in the British countryside
Buying a house in Orchard Grove means that you’re positioned brilliantly for both work and pleasure. Surrounded by the wonderful green fields of the Somerset countryside, these new homes offer a quintessential country life just outside the bustling town of Taunton. The town centre and all your urban essentials are within easy reach (just 2.7 miles away) but you’ll also enjoy fresh countryside air and green surroundings on your doorstep.
What’s more, you’ll benefit from all the amenities of the nearby Bridgwater (12 miles) or the city of Exeter (30 miles) and you’ll find solid travel links out to the surrounding areas with Taunton railway station less than 10 minutes away and the A38 and M5 in close proximity.
Family buyers can also make the move to new homes in Taunton safe in the knowledge that they’re arriving in a good school area, with several schools rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted situated in the immediate vicinity.
What’s close by our Orchard Grove new-build development?
With Taunton town centre less than three miles from our Orchard Grove new housing development, the market town represents the first port of call for not only your general amenities but also a number of activities and attractions.
Beyond the wide range of retail options, Taunton boasts a number of standout parks including its premier visitor spot, Vivary Park, which is a great place for a stroll or a family picnic. Similarly, Wellington Park offers a delightful Edwardian landscape that plays host to a number of seasonal events through the year. The Museum of Somerset harbours over 400 million years of history in the area, while those looking to enjoy something a little more contemporary have the BrewCinema and Player Ready gaming venue to discover.
Bigger towns and cities lie slightly farther afield but all within reach, with Bridgewater (12 miles), Exeter (30 miles) and Bristol (45 miles) all accessible in reasonably quick time by train or car. For days out with the family, you can walk along the Jurassic Coast (27 miles) which stands as England’s only natural World Heritage Site. The stunning Quantock Hills plus many more opportunities to experience attractions, history and nature are nearby.
Of course, one of Orchard Grove’s best features lies in the fact that you have the Somerset and Devon countryside sat on your doorstep, meaning that a picturesque walk is never too far away. The nearby parishes of Comeytrowe and Trull provide additional local stop-offs to complete a delightful mix of pure countryside, quaint villages and picture-perfect local towns surrounding our new-build homes in Taunton.
Local schools and education
For families moving to the area, there are a good selection of schools for all ages rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted within a five-mile radius. Cotford St Luke Primary School is three miles away and Oake, Bradford and Nynehead VC Primary is 3.5 miles away (both rated ‘Good’) from our new-build development.
There are several ‘Outstanding’ secondary schools and colleges in the immediate area, and the university cities of Bristol and Exeter both reside less than an hour away from Orchard Grove, offering up a number of excellent higher-education establishments between them.
Transport and travel
Our Orchard Grove new-build homes for sale may boast a healthy dose of British countryside but that doesn’t mean that the development is shy of good travel links. Taunton railway station is less than 10 minutes away, while the A38 runs through Taunton centre and the M5 is adjacent to the south-east side of the town – both of which provide the quickest car route north to Bridgwater and Bristol or south to Exeter.
