LIFE IN A HISTORIC PARKLAND
Hensol Grove offers more than a home, it’s a lifestyle. Residents will have the opportunity to live in a truly exceptional setting, surrounded by extensive private parkland encircling the historic Hensol Castle.
Whether it’s a round of golf, a session at the spa, afternoon tea in the Castle, or watching an elite sports team train at the resort facilities, the estate brings a sense of privilege and enjoyment to everyday life.
HENSOL LAKE
A REGION RICH IN HERITAGE AND FLOURISHING WITH NATURAL BEAUTY

Cardiff city centre is also close at hand, placing culture, shopping, and entertainment within easy reach, while the Brecon Beacons and Gower Peninsula invite weekends of exploration. At Hensol Grove, the very best of South Wales is never far away.

SUSTAINABLE BY DESIGN
Acorn Green is our commitment to building responsibly, with homes designed with care for both people and the planet. Each Acorn development is individually considered, incorporating sustainable technologies, thoughtful design, and natural landscaping that enhances local biodiversity. As we continue our journey towards zero-carbon living, we remain focused on shaping places that are beautifully designed and built to stand the test of time.
At Hensol Grove, every home benefits from underfloor heating, enhanced airtightness, and heating and hot water provided by an advanced air source heat pump. Each property also includes an electric vehicle charging point, supporting more sustainable ways to travel. Together, these features embody Acorn’s forwardthinking approach, creating homes that are comfortable, efficient, and designed for the future.
TRIPLE-GLAZED WINDOWS & ENHANCED INSULATION
Triple-glazed windows and doors, together with enhanced airtightness, minimise heat loss, improve comfort, and reduce energy bills.
LOW WATER USAGE
Part G compliant water-efficient fittings and appliances help to reduce overall water consumption without compromising performance.
PART O COMPLIANT DESIGN
The homes are designed to prevent overheating in summer while providing natural ventilation to remove excess heat.
EV CHARGING
Each home will have an EV charging point, offering costeffective, fast and convenient charging for current and future electric vehicles.
CLIMATE-CONSCIOUS KITCHENS
Designer Dutch-manufactured kitchens by Keller feature soft-closing, handleless units - all produced carbon neutral since 2017.
SUSTAINABLE FLOORING
EcoSense carpets by Furlong Flooring are made from 100% recycled materials.
LOW CARBON EMISSIONS
The new homes at Hensol Mews will emit 70% less carbon than that of an average older property.*
ENERGY-EFFICIENT HEATING
Underfloor heating with smart thermostats ensures even heat distribution and comfort.
BAIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS
Heating and hot water are provided by a highly-efficient air source heat pump, delivering lower running costs and reduced carbon emissions. *Based on SAP assessment
PREDICTED EPC RATED B
Each home is anticipated to achieve an EPC rating of B, delivering lower running costs and a reduced carbon footprint* compared to older properties.
OUR VISION
There are not many sites where the designer is gifted outstanding views of a castle, on land steeped in history. Hensol Castle and its grounds have been shaped by a remarkable architectural evolution and the new homes at Hensol Grove have been designed to be as unique as their setting. They’re intended to adapt with the lifestyles of their owners, and to be a timeless addition to a very special heritage location.
The landscape is at the forefront of this project, with our new homes designed to provide residents with uninterrupted Welsh vistas. Acorn always strives to embrace stunning views, maximise natural light, and create a flow from outside to inside. As a result, we chose to place the main living areas on the first floor, creating lofty spaces with high ceilings and grand glazed facades, as well as deep balconies to connect the homes to their environment.
Although clearly contemporary, the houses sit comfortably within their landscape and heritage setting. The architectural composition consists of a vertical hierarchy of materials. Stone to the ground floor mirrors the architectural heritage of this circa 17th century castle. In contrast, generously sized windows on the upper levels introduce a modern touch. They combine an appreciation of the past with the comfort of sustainable modern living and follow the profile of their predecessors to minimise their visual impact on the scenery.
These homes have been designed with sustainability in mind. Triple-glazed windows, underfloor heating, and EV charging points provide residents with a luxury lifestyle whilst contributing towards a sustainable future.
It really is a privilege to begin a project within the grounds of a Grade-I listed castle, with views of a historic walled garden and luscious parkland. Maximising the potential of Hensol Grove required careful thought and consideration - a rare opportunity that perfectly embodies our Different by Design ethos. With over 30 years’ experience as new-build and regeneration specialists, it is developments like this that we take the most pride in delivering.
