Thakeham’s first-ever ‘Zero Bills’ show home has launched at its development in Burgess Hill.  

The three-bedroom house at Templegate is now available to view, along with its host of green technology. 

The Zero Bills smart home is the first of its kind in Mid Sussex.  It is part of our wider fully zero carbon community featuring 120 sustainable homes. 

 Visitors can now see first-hand a Zero Bills home with clean energy technology – including fully integrated, roof-mounted solar PV panels, air-source heat pumps, wastewater heat recovery systems, energy-efficient appliances, thermally-efficient doors, windows and insulation, along with home storage batteries. 

The developer claims that the show home is already proving popular with three reservations confirmed for the Zero Bills homes, and six early bird deposits secured for houses which aren’t due to be completed until late next year. 

Rob Boughton, our Founder and Chief Executive, said: “At Templegate, we are setting a new standard in the zero-carbon revolution with smarter homes that are kinder to your pocket and better for the planet. Our new show home allows families to see first-hand how they can live in a space that is not only stylish and functional but saves them money and contributes positively to the planet too.” 

Templegate is a joint venture partnership with housing association Aster Group. Properties range in size from one-bedroom apartments to larger four-bedroom family houses. Of the 120 homes, 36 will be available, with Aster Group as affordable, or through the government’s First Homes scheme.
