New homes in Attleborough and Kenninghall Try these Bennett Homes developments. Oak Trees, Attleborough Building on the success of its first development in Attleborough at Heisker Gardens, Bennett Homes has just announced Oak Trees, a development of 22 properties including houses, large bungalows and chalet bungalows set around a central area of open space. Located off Slough Lane, Oak Trees offers homes to suit all ages and stages – from growing families to independent retirees. All traditionally-built properties are finished to a superior specification and include contemporary features such as rainfall showers, built-in wardrobes and stylish kitchens with matching worktops and upstands. Energy efficient air source technology with even-temperature underfloor heating on ground floors provides a flexible and ecofriendly alternative to fossil fuel boilers with the added benefit of lower energy bills. All properties have generous gardens and garages and to support the environment, roosting boxes are installed on some garage eaves. The public open space is retained by Bennett Homes and home-owners simply contribute an annual sum to cover the management and maintenance of the area. Attleborough, located
between Thetford Forest and the historical city of Norwich, has an impressive high street with a wide range of shops, amenities and opportunities for leisure activities.
