The innovative homes, which feature the
latest high-tech energy-conserving features, will be heated by
special wood chips
which fuel the biomass heating system, making
them the most cost effective new homes to run in the province.
Lagan Valley MP Jeffrey Donaldson officially
opened Woodbrook and was impressed by what he saw.
Mr Donaldson congratulated Christopher
Carvill and the Carvill Group on 'this excellent development,
which is a first on the island of Ireland and is unique in
Northern Ireland'
"It is very environmentally friendly and
ensures the site, which is right on the edge of Lisburn, is
developed in a way which is sensitive to the surroundings. I had
the opportunity to view the properties which are very attractive
and I have no doubt they will be extremely popular," continued
Mr Donaldson.
Costing over �160m to develop and providing
over 1000 homes, the development is part of a larger Brokerstown
village.
Christopher Carvill, MD of The Carvill Group,
said interest in the homes has already been exceptionally high
even in the current climate.
"We have been delighted with the response to
our Eco-homes and the fact that the properties have been selling
so quickly in the current market we feel is testament to the
fact that we are offering something different at affordable
prices," he said.
"Woodbrook is without a doubt one of our most
innovative developments to date," he added.
' Our homes can make a real lifestyle
difference to the buyers and their futures."
