Lavender Grange is in the village of Lower Stondon in Bedfordshire.

A development of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes surrounded by idyllic countryside, it is within easy reach of everyday amenities in the village and only 10 minutes’ drive from Hitchin town centre.

Many of the homes benefit from plenty of flexible space and home offices to ensure that the space can be adapted to suit the homeowners’ needs.

Lavender Grange is close to several Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ schools. At the heart of the development there is a fully equipped park and there are more than nine acres of open space for the whole family to enjoy.

Being recognised as a ‘Built For Life’ development means that important design elements such as adequate car parking and safe street design have been included and checked through planning.  There are electric vehicle charging points to 87% of homes on the development and to some of the visitor bays.

Stewart Milne Timber Systems worked with Barratt Homes North Thames to create and deliver adaptable homes as part of our design service.  As requested we used our Alpha open panel system and followed up the design with manufacturing and site build of 144 homes and achieved a U-value of 0.25.
