New homes being constructed in record time at Coat Grove, Martock

The homes, at Coat Grove, Martock, have proved popular as they are being built, with more than half sold since the development opened last year.

The developer says the timber frames also give a superior thermal performance which, along with the enhanced-efficiency insulation, ensures that Barratt Homes are 65% more energy efficient than traditional refurbished homes.
