The Development:

Carpenters Yard is a pioneering collection of planet-positive homes in Thornwood, on the edge of Epping Forest. Created by the multi-award-winning team at gs8, the development has been designed around regenerative living, bringing together highly energy-efficient homes, nature, wellbeing and community.

Carpenters Yard is the UK’s largest development to offer five years of guaranteed Zero Home Energy Bills. Each home has been designed to require very little heating or cooling, using solar panels, air source heat pumps, triple glazing and heat recovery ventilation. Energy generated across the neighbourhood can also be stored and distributed through a community microgrid.

The landscaped setting has been designed to increase local biodiversity by at least 40%, with native planting, a wildlife pond, community allotments, woodland play areas and a trail garden. Residents will also benefit from an on-site fitness studio, yoga deck, parcel room, electric car and bicycle clubs, and a unique reuse and DIY centre. A community hub and local café and grocery store form part of the wider neighbourhood vision.

Nearby:

Carpenters Yard has direct access to Thornwood Common, with its open green space, playing fields, children’s play area and nature reserve. Wintry Wood is approximately a ten-minute walk away, while Epping Forest offers more than 284 kilometres of woodland paths to explore.

The historic market town of Epping is approximately two miles away, offering independent shops, cafés and restaurants alongside supermarkets and everyday amenities. Local attractions include Epping Ongar Railway, Epping Golf Course, Hobbs Cross Golf Centre and Theydon Bois Golf Course.

Epping Underground Station is approximately six minutes away by car, with Central Line services reaching Stratford in around 27 minutes and Liverpool Street in approximately 37 minutes. The M11, M25, Harlow Town Station and Stansted Airport are also within convenient reach. Families have access to a broad selection of primary, secondary and independent schools throughout the surrounding area. All journey times are approximate.

What We Love:

The Zero Bills offer is not simply an incentive added to an otherwise conventional new home. The entire property has been designed around reducing energy consumption, from its EPC A rating and solar panels to the air source heat pump, triple glazing and community microgrid.

We also love the balance offered by The Chicory itself. It has two genuine double bedrooms, a spacious living area opening onto the garden and all the practical features needed for everyday life. Combined with the woodland setting and community facilities at Carpenters Yard, it offers a genuinely different and more sustainable way to live.

*Zero Home Energy Bills are subject to a fair usage allowance, terms and exclusions. Electric vehicle charging is billed separately.
