THE KEVIN MCCLOUD COLUMN<br />
Freeman Homes gets the green light to build 10 low-carbon homes<br />
predicted to achieve highly efficient A-rated energy performance<br />
certificates in Herefordshire village of Fownhope.<br />
3<br />
Designer, writer and television presenter, Kevin McCloud leapt into our<br />
consciousness with his vastly successful Grand Designs show on Channel 4. This<br />
month, the affable architectural business owner talks about how we can weigh up<br />
properties at both ends of the scale.<br />
I’ve long championed the virtues of good design, sustainable materials and the transformative<br />
power of personal touch on a space. It’s how I built a business, made a career, and inspired<br />
myself and, I hope, others.<br />
As such, the age-old adage of buying the worst house on the best street, rather than the best<br />
house on the worst street, is one that warrants a discussion deeper than the foundations of the<br />
houses it refers to. The principle is simple: location is unalterable, but a property’s bricks and<br />
mortar are not.<br />
It’s this grand potential for transformation that catches the imagination. Imagine a dilapidated<br />
Victorian house on a street lined with beautifully restored counterparts. The potential for value<br />
creation is as clear as the ornate glass in the neighbouring sash windows.<br />
In a financial sense, with an eye on the investment, there is of course shrewdness in selecting the<br />
street’s overlooked ‘ugly duckling’, as the opportunity for its revival is compelling.<br />
The flip side, the best house on the worst street, presents a different scenario. Here you have<br />
a gem, but one that might stand alone - an oasis of charm in an environment of lesser appeal;<br />
because while the house itself may need no work, the view from the front window can’t<br />
be repainted or refurbished. There’s a discount, yes, but it’s a discount that comes with a view –<br />
and not the one you may desire.<br />
Think of this, though - our homes are not islands, but pieces of a larger backdrop… that being<br />
the local community. And it is the whole picture that ultimately gives us our perception of<br />
‘home’. From schools to parks, restaurants to roads, our environments shape us as much as we<br />
shape them.<br />
So what’s the point in all this? Good question! It’s perhaps the reality that while we work, strive<br />
and obsess over our homes, as personal and private things, ultimately it is everything around us<br />
that we should focus on.<br />
A DESIGN FOR LIFE…<br />
the Kevin McCloud<br />
column<br />
In these uncertain times of social disruption and economic uncertainty, we can take real<br />
hope, real comfort and find genuine clarity from what is outside. So unlock your doors, throw<br />
open the windows and consider the communal narrativeas just as valuable to your home, and<br />
your life there.<br />
Those external surroundings – and that includes the people we share our communities with<br />
– do not need to mirror our homes or ourselves. They just need to be in harmony with them.<br />
So in times when we cannot do all we want to our four walls, to our bricks and mortar, let’s be<br />
grateful for what exists outside.<br />
Award-winning local developer Freeman Homes has received planning approval to build an<br />
exclusive sustainable development in the highly sought after village of Fownhope. Approval<br />
has been granted for the project, which will feature ten individually designed 2, 3 and 4<br />
bedroom properties.<br />
Fownhope, known for its picturesque location in an area of outstanding natural beauty is a<br />
protected area which has not previously been subject to much housing development, making<br />
the plans “extremely rare”.<br />
Freeman Homes, which purchased the land with outline planning permission from the<br />
landowner, has obtained approval for their reserved matters application which significantly<br />
enhances environmental considerations for the properties going above and beyond building<br />
regulations and legislation so they can offer a future proofed sustainable home.<br />
The development, due to begin in March, will follow-on from the existing Cherry Hill scheme<br />
in the village which is already 85% sold, adding to the long list of successful projects Freeman<br />
Homes has delivered across Herefordshire and Gloucestershire.<br />
The site is located on the Eastern outskirt of Fownhope adjacent<br />
to the well-renown doctors’ surgery just one of the many<br />
outstanding amenities Fownhope has to offer. The homes will<br />
benefit from spectacular views across surrounding countryside<br />
and an enhanced landscaping scheme that has been carefully<br />
considered to reflect Freeman Homes’ strategy to place the<br />
environment at its centre.<br />
These areas will comprise ecology landscape planting and<br />
green open spaces to create wildlife corridors and buffer zones,<br />
as well as support the local environment’s biodiversity. Other<br />
ecology features will include various wildlife homes including<br />
hedgehog houses, bird boxes, built-in bat boxes and integrated<br />
bee bricks; a Sustainable Drainage System (SuD) with wetland<br />
ecology planting, as well as orchard tree and wildflower planting.<br />
Freeman Homes support the Wye Valley’s Dark Sky Policy,<br />
installing wildlife-friendly downward-directed external lighting.<br />
A mixed use of natural stone, brick, timber boarding and timber<br />
porches across the development will carefully compliment the<br />
Herefordshire village’s existing vernacular, while offering thermal<br />
efficiencies and utilising the lowest carbon outlay construction<br />
method.<br />
The EPC A-rated properties will benefit from a number of energyefficient<br />
features, including integrated solar roof panels, air source<br />
heat pumps, and battery packs to store generated energy, enabling<br />
homeowners to save money on bills, reduce household carbon<br />
footprint and emissions, while reducing reliance on the national<br />
grid.<br />
Featuring high specification fittings including underfloor heating<br />
and energy efficient kitchen appliances, each build will also<br />
incorporate many key aspects to appeal to the eco-conscious<br />
buyer. These include internal and external water saving features<br />
– from shower heads and toilets to water recycling butts and<br />
waste recycling facilities. There will also be Project EV electric car<br />
charging points included.<br />

Homes said: “We are delighted to announce plans for this development of energy efficient<br />
properties which fuse sustainable innovation with high spec features and modern living. We<br />
have engaged with local stakeholders during the planning process to try and address any<br />
concerns and ensure as much as possible our development was aligned with Fownhope’s own<br />
Neighbourhood Development Plans, respecting the Wye Valley AONB and the scheme fosters<br />
social and economic wellbeing for the area.<br />
“Our objective for this development was to create low maintenance, future-proof homes that<br />
are efficient to run. With spacious rooms our homes are ideal for local people who need to<br />
right-size, moving out of large family homes into a more manageable yet spacious home.<br />
This in turn frees up larger, older properties for families who wish to upsize. We have proven<br />
this to be the case at our Cherry Hill development with 85% of our customers moving from<br />
within 3 miles of the village, and the majority choosing to right-size into what we hope will<br />
be their forever home.”<br />
Work will start on the site in March 2024.<br />

I LOVE WHERE I LIVE<br />
9<br />
We are so lucky to have a proper village shop<br />
pool. I joined the Tintern cricket team last year, never having<br />
played in my life. I can’t count the number of cricket team<br />
members who encouraged me to have a go. From those who<br />
have hardly played to those who are semi-professionals, they<br />
have all been amazingly welcoming.<br />
Where would you shop for a dinner party?<br />
In the Monmouth Waitrose or M& S Food or in the<br />
independent shops in Chepstow or Monmouth.<br />
Where do you do your day-to-day shopping?<br />
We are so lucky to have a proper village shop, the Abbey<br />
Stores, which has now been open just over a year and offers<br />
a good range of groceries, geared to the local community and<br />
including locally sourced produce.<br />
What’s the social life like in Tintern?<br />
It’s a pretty friendly crowd and if you have dogs or kids,<br />
you are instantly plumbed into village social life. The<br />
park is really popular and has had a refurb - all the play<br />
equipment was replaced last May. There is a good social life<br />
around the football team in the winter and the cricket team<br />
in the summer. Lots of people come to watch and many of<br />
the people involved have children. The village hall is great.<br />
There’s lots going on there and it is really well run, by a<br />
team of volunteers. It has had a new projector and holds<br />
regular film nights.<br />
What is the most fun you have had at a local<br />
event?<br />
Probably at the annual village fete, where there is live music<br />
I love where I live…<br />
Tintern<br />
DJ and music producer Jamie Morrison, who grew up in Tintern, tells Sharon<br />
Chilcott why it was a “smart decision” to move back to the village during the<br />
Covid lockdown.<br />
and entertainment and a variety of local produce and stalls.<br />
The village hall is turned into a bar, provided by Kingstone<br />
Brewery, Tintern’s micro-brewery. There is a whole team of<br />
people involved in organising the event and it’s a really great<br />
occasion.<br />
In what ways are you involved in your local<br />
community?<br />
I am about to start my second year as a member of the<br />
community council. I also help out a bit at the village hall.<br />
What’s the most exciting development that’s<br />
happening in the area?<br />
The talk of the village is the refurbishment of the Wild Hare<br />
Inn and the new development on the site of the old Abbey<br />
Hotel, which has been an eyesore for more than a decade.<br />
Tell me a fascinating fact about Tintern…<br />
Tintern’s ruined Cistercian abbey was a source of inspiration<br />
for poets and artists of the Romantic Movement including<br />
William Wordsworth and J.M.W. Turner.<br />
Photos by Sharon Chilcott and Jamie Morrison<br />
My family have been here since I was eight years old, but for<br />
20 years I had been living in Bristol. However, it’s amazing<br />
how people’s priorities changed during lockdown. My Mum<br />
was selling her house and we decided to buy it and move<br />
here - for the freedom and the outdoor space and to give our<br />
children a better lifestyle. It was a smart decision. We lived<br />
in a good community in Bristol and I felt sad about leaving,<br />
but I didn’t appreciate how much I would love it here. The<br />
really great community has been a big part of it and I think,<br />
over the years, the community spirit has got better. There<br />
are many people here who I have known forever and many<br />
new people, too, who are really friendly. It’s a very inclusive<br />
community and we are blessed to be part of it. There is lots<br />
going on, there are lots of people with positive ideas and lots<br />
of people working to do things for the community. Over the<br />
years the businesses here have changed, too, with some of the<br />
old ones still doing well and with new people coming in and<br />
transforming some of the others.<br />
What makes Tintern special?<br />
Its stunning beauty – the amazing scenery, the wildlife, the<br />
River Wye and the walks.<br />
For you, personally, what’s the best thing<br />
about living there?<br />
It’s home. I love our house and it’s a great place to bring up<br />
kids – a happy environment.<br />
What, if anything, spoils it for you?<br />
I know this is difficult to solve, but it would be good to have<br />
better public transport links.<br />
What sort of people does Tintern attract?<br />
A lot of people retire here - most places have a little bit of<br />
land so it attracts those who want to tend their garden. Over<br />
recent years, a lot of people have moved here with children,<br />
so the number of kids has really increased. Nearly every new<br />
person I have met has either lived in London or Bristol or<br />
both. There seems to be a trend to move from London to<br />
Bristol and then from there to here, either for the benefit of<br />
their children or for the countryside, with access to the city.<br />
Lots of people work from home or in Bristol.<br />
Describe the vibe in your favourite local café<br />
or pub..<br />
The Filling Station, conveniently about 50 yards from our<br />
house, is a family-run business with the best coffee in the<br />
village. The White Monk do great sausage sandwiches.<br />
The Rose and Crown is a lovely, traditional pub and The<br />
Anchor is attractive for families as it has a playground for the<br />
children. The Wild Hare Inn ticks the boxes if you come from<br />
the city. It is fresh and different and I am looking forward to it<br />
reopening after its refurbishment.<br />
Where do you go for a spot of “culture”?<br />
Bristol is really easy to get to for film, theatre and the music<br />
scene, but I am there all the time for work, so I like being<br />
home.<br />
Where would you book up for a celebratory<br />
meal?<br />
Parva Farmhouse, in Tintern. The food is really great and the<br />
menu changes all the time.<br />
What would you do locally to “blow the<br />
cobwebs away”?<br />
I would go for a walk – we are spoilt for choice around here<br />
and can walk for hours. A friend who lives in London started<br />
looking at the Wye Valley as a place to move to and when<br />
he looked at the Ordnance Survey map of the area, out of all<br />
the places he could move to that are near cities, as we are to<br />
Bristol and Cardiff, he could not believe the amount of green<br />
spaces and walking routes. In Tintern, we are close to the<br />
Offa’s Dyke Path, which is amazing but can get quite busy,<br />
but we can also walk to places like Chapel Hill and Barbadoes<br />
Woods and never see a human.<br />
What leisure pursuits do you enjoy locally?<br />
We have a dog so we are out walking all the time. My eldest<br />
son is getting into basketball and he plays at Monmouth<br />
Leisure Centre, which has great facilities, including a leisure<br />
Facts and Figures<br />
The charming riverside village of Tintern is set in the Wye<br />
Valley National Landscape, an area of outstanding natural<br />
beauty. It has been a tourist honey-pot since the late<br />
Eighteenth Century when Tintern Abbey was a highlight of<br />
the Picturesque Wye Tour. Whilst best known for its abbey,<br />
Tintern is surrounded by scenic countryside and wonderful<br />
walks and, as a place to live, it’s a vibrant, family-friendly<br />
village, with local facilities on the doorstep, primary schools<br />
in nearby Llandogo and Trellech and secondary schools in<br />
Monmouth and Chepstow. For more information: www.<br />

HOME IMPROVEMENTS<br />
Transforming your home on a budget<br />
SAY HELLO TO ENERGY-EFFICIENT LIVING IN<br />
NEWNHAM ON SEVERN, FOWNHOPE, ST WEONARDS & CREDENHILL<br />
The post-Christmas period often leaves homes feeling uninspiring, void of festive<br />
charm. Yet, transforming your interior need not be a financial burden. Our<br />
designers share invaluable tips on how to breathe new life into your home without<br />
breaking the bank.<br />
Mix things up<br />
Firstly, embrace change by clearing surfaces of holiday decorations, providing a blank<br />
slate for redecoration. This not only aids in decluttering but also reveals opportunities to<br />
introduce vibrancy through affordable art. You could explore affordable prints online at<br />
@Kingandmcgaw to add a touch of personality to your space.<br />
Embrace the power of paint<br />
A cost-effective way to breathe<br />
life into interiors is through the<br />
transformative power of paint.<br />
While professional assistance is<br />
recommended, even DIY enthusiasts<br />
can undertake projects with just the<br />
essential tools. Boldly experiment<br />
with colours, stepping outside your comfort zone. Limewash paints, like those from<br />
@bauwerkcolour, offer a budget-friendly means to achieve a stylish Venetian plaster<br />
Want to create that ‘wow’ factor but are not sure where to start?<br />
Or just don’t have the time?<br />
aesthetic, complete with online tutorials for easy application.<br />
Greenery takes centre stage<br />
Following the departure of Christmas foliage, consider incorporating greenery into your<br />
space. Plants not only bring psychological benefits but also add visual interest. If you lack<br />
green fingers fear not; there are low-maintenance options available. Alternatively, explore<br />
the world of faux plants and flowers, where brands like @Haox and @fakeitflowers offer<br />
realistic alternatives<br />
We transform spaces into stunning environments for our clients,<br />
from private homes to commercial properties.<br />

WHO SAYS BUSINESS<br />
& PLEASURE DON’T MIX?<br />
Investing in a luxury holiday lodge at Maesmawr Farm Resort could be more<br />
profitable than you think with domestic tourism and UK staycations set to boom<br />
Have you found a new appreciation for the<br />
natural beauty found closer to home over<br />
lockdown?<br />
You’re not the only one – new research has found<br />
that 83% of tourists would prefer to holiday in the<br />
UK than travel abroad this year, and this trend<br />
is set to continue into next year, bringing a huge<br />
boost to Britain’s hospitality and holiday sector.<br />
With holidaymakers turning to socially distanced<br />
trips that are locally accessible during this volatile<br />
time, now is the time to take advantage of the UK<br />
holiday market which generates over £9.3 billion<br />
every year in revenue – camping, glamping and<br />
lodge holidays have become a great option for<br />
people wishing to escape everyday life whilst<br />
minimising the risk of Covid-19.<br />
Enter Maesmawr Farm Resort. An idyllic hidden<br />
gem set deep within the heart of the Welsh hills,<br />
Maesmawr Farm offers a slice of escapism from<br />
the hustle and bustle of the usual tourist spots;<br />
this resort is the perfect place to restore and<br />
rejuvenate your senses, being nestled within 27<br />
acres of stunning landscaped grounds, boasting<br />
uninterrupted, panoramic views of the rolling hills<br />
and countryside of the mystical Severn Valley.<br />
Maesmawr Farm is part of the Boutique Resorts<br />
collection, founded by Mark Whitehouse in late<br />
2014 with the aim of creating a collection of<br />
boutique luxury resorts that appeal to those who<br />
seek peace and relaxation from their holiday<br />
time. Having worked in the industry since the<br />
1980’s and having owned several Parks in that<br />
time, Mark has accumulated over thirty years<br />
of valuable experience and insight into the<br />
holiday industry.<br />
This industry knowledge shines through<br />
everything the Whitehouse family does, as Mark<br />
has explained in a recent interview: “Our quest for<br />
delivering a high quality experience to our owners<br />
and guests is built on customer service beyond<br />
that of our competitors, with one simple value<br />
kept in mind: to treat people as we would wish to<br />
be treated ourselves. This is paying exponential<br />
dividends, as our levels of repeat visitors grows<br />
year on year and our lodge owners continue<br />
recommending us to others.<br />
We’ve seen a strong rise in demand for luxury<br />
lodge ownership and holidays in recent years,<br />
and industry experts are predicting the demand to<br />
continue to rise to a sustained level around 40%<br />
higher than it was previously, due to the current<br />
situation introducing new customers to our<br />
marketplace.<br />
It certainly seems that UK domestic tourism is<br />
gearing up for a sustained period of long term<br />
growth, which is presenting strong opportunities<br />
for anyone wishing to enjoy a second home in a<br />
secure environment that effectively pays them to<br />
own it.”<br />
With this focus on exceptional quality, Maesmawr<br />
Farm Resort offers stunning 2- and 3-bedroom<br />
holiday lodges for sale and holiday rental, and<br />
all of the holiday homes have been created in a<br />
collaborative effort between some of the best<br />
designers in the business. With outside spaces just<br />
waiting to be explored and discovered, each lodge<br />
available offers luxury furnishings, quirky interior<br />
designs and large private decks that overlook the<br />
beautiful countryside views.<br />
Not to be confused with conventional Holiday<br />
Parks, Maesmawr Farm offers long-term property<br />
ownership that can be enjoyed for generations,<br />
just like a cottage would be but with the additional<br />
benefits, security and support of being on a wellmanaged,<br />
private leisure development – and the<br />
on-site team can assist with all manner of things<br />
to make visits even more enjoyable for owners<br />
and guests alike with a Concierge-style service.<br />
Offering an incredible investment opportunity, the<br />
lodges here benefit from a fully managed letting<br />
package that covers all aspects of what is required<br />
end to end – from marketing to maintenance.<br />
Buy-to-let owners don’t have to lift a finger and<br />
can simply sit back and benefit from net returns<br />
of up to 10% with peak-week tariffs reaching up<br />
to £1,500 – and for those who want certainty over<br />
higher yields, fixed returns are also available.<br />

high-yielding leisure property investment<br />
with additional lifestyle benefits in the Welsh<br />
countryside has you curious, then get in touch<br />

Situated beneath Wentwood Forest, The Glenties is surrounded by beautiful countryside and<br />
enjoys outstanding views, towards the Severn Estuary, through the trees and up to Gray Hill,<br />

“Transform Your Living Space: Embrace the Future<br />
with Smart Home Technology”<br />
In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern living, the integration of smart home<br />
technology has become synonymous with convenience, efficiency, and security.<br />
There are an estimated 2.22 million smart homes in the UK. A survey last October<br />
found that 57% of homes now contain a smart device. More than 1 in 6 of us control<br />
our smart devices from outside our home daily. In this blog, we explore the benefits of<br />
smart home technology and unveil the top ten applications that can elevate your home<br />
to new heights of intelligence.<br />
Benefits of Smart Home Technology<br />
Energy Efficiency<br />
Smart solutions enable you to monitor and control your<br />
home’s energy usage efficiently and from anywhere in the<br />
world. Smart thermostats, automated window coverings,<br />
and energy-efficient windows collaborate to create an ecofriendly<br />
environment, resulting in lower energy bills.<br />
Security Reinvented<br />
Bolster the security of your home with smart windows and<br />
doors, integrated with advanced security systems. Smart<br />
locks, surveillance cameras, and motion detectors can be<br />
easily controlled and monitored through your smartphone,<br />
providing real-time updates and peace of mind.<br />
Convenient Automation<br />
Simplify your daily routine with the automation of various tasks. With smart lighting<br />
and appliance control, your home becomes an intuitive, self-regulating ecosystem.<br />
They make your home look occupied when it is not and optimise energy usage.<br />
Integration with Voice Assistants<br />
Seamlessly connect your appliances with popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa<br />
or Google Assistant. Control your home environment with simple voice commands,<br />
adding an extra layer of accessibility.<br />
Top Ten Smart Home Applications<br />
Smart Lighting<br />
Illuminate your home intelligently with smart lighting systems that adapt to your<br />
preferences, enhance ambiance, and contribute to energy savings. Companies like Kasa<br />
provide plugs, extension cable and bulbs that can be controlled via their mobile phone<br />
app. These are a great way of making your home look occupied even when it is not and<br />
creates a more comfortable, welcoming ambiance. Practically it also means that you can<br />
turn upstairs lights on before you go upstairs, reducing the likelihood of you lighting<br />
rooms or floors when they are not occupied.<br />
Thermostat Control<br />
Optimize your home’s temperature with smart thermostats, learning your habits to<br />
create a comfortable environment while reducing energy consumption. According to<br />
the Energy Saving Trust, turning your thermostat down by just one degree can cut bills<br />
by about £145 a year, which is around 4-5%. Smart thermostats controlled by mobile<br />
phone apps also mean that you can turn the temperature down when you are out of the<br />
home and turn it back up before you return.<br />
Automated Window Coverings/blinds<br />
Automated blinds or curtains, allowing you to control natural light and privacy<br />
effortlessly. You can ensure they are up when the sun is shining to benefit from any<br />
solar gain and down to reduce heat loss when it is dark or cloudy.<br />
Smart Security Systems<br />
Fortify your home with smart security cameras, doorbell cameras, and motion<br />
sensors that keep you connected and protected, even when you’re away. The level of<br />
sophistication of even self-installed systems has increased significantly in recent years<br />
and most are compatible with some form of mobile app.<br />
Smart Locks and Sensors<br />
Upgrade your home’s security with smart locks and sensors allow you to monitor<br />
and in some cases control access remotely. Never again will you leave home, lock the<br />
door, and wonder two minutes later whether you had locked your windows or doors.<br />
Glevum are due to launch a range of Smart Doors and Windows which will allow you<br />
to monitor if they are closed, open and even locked, via the associated Smart App. This<br />
offers real-time monitoring, will alert you if you leave any door or window unlocked<br />
and gives you a history of when any doors or windows have been locked or unlocked.<br />
Smart Home Hubs<br />
Centralise control with a smart home hub that acts as a command centre, facilitating<br />
communication between various smart devices. These can also divert traffic off Wi-Fi<br />
or Bluetooth, easing network congestion. With all the smart home devices connected in<br />
the home, users can also remotely access the various systems and control them while<br />
away from home with their smart home app.<br />
Voice-Activated Assistants<br />
Integrate voice-activated assistants with your smart devices for hands-free control of<br />
your smart home devices, enhancing accessibility and convenience. Alexa it is estimated<br />
is used in 46% of UK homes but Siri (Apple) and Google Assistant are also popular.<br />
Smart Appliances<br />
From refrigerators to ovens, smart appliances offer enhanced functionality and<br />
efficiency, providing you with a more connected and streamlined kitchen. Fridges<br />
can allow you to literally see what is inside from your<br />
mobile phone, monitor use by dates and even make recipe<br />
suggestions based upon the contents. How smart is your<br />
fridge?<br />
Smart Home Entertainment<br />
Create an immersive entertainment experience with smart<br />
TVs, speakers, and home theatre systems that can be<br />
seamlessly integrated into your smart home ecosystem. This<br />
can also include access via multiple devices to any playlist<br />
you might subscribe to.<br />
Environmental Monitoring within the home<br />
Keep tabs on your home’s air quality, humidity, and other<br />
environmental factors with smart sensors, lets you take action to ensure a healthy and<br />
comfortable living space. This can be particularly useful for people suffering from<br />
certain health conditions.<br />
For those of us old enough to remember the TV programme, this may sound a bit<br />
Tomorrow’s World, but smart home technology is here today, and it is just a matter of<br />
to what extent we want to fully utilise this ourselves. If you would like to be notified<br />
