Homes in innovative east Belfast eco-development are released

PROPERTY developer Strand Homes has announced a major milestone for its newest eco-development in East Belfast, called Ferndene, which will officially open its show home on Sunday January 22.

With views of the east of the city’s countryside, the elevated location of the development boasts incredible glimpses of Scrabo Tower and Stormont, yet is in a prime location for city-centre commuters.

Jen Mitchell, sales and marketing manager at Strand Homes, said: “Ferndene is a community of 46 spacious eco-homes, many with a fifth bedroom, representing a fantastic opportunity for growing families or professionals.”

The new scheme, where prices range from £435,000 to £499,950, was designed by Strand Homes to boast a ‘Scandi-feel’ – with the use of the finest building materials and exceptional finishes found throughout. New customers can be involved with selecting their finishes to personalise the design of their new home.

Jen added: “With home-owners keen to live more sustainably, Strand Homes is making this more achievable by providing all homes with the tools and technology to reduce their carbon footprint and their energy bills.

“Ferndene is one of the few developments in Northern Ireland where every home is fitted with in-roof solar panels and a 5kWh battery, allowing the homes to store energy created throughout the day and use it at night – great news for home-owners at a time when energy bills remain uncertain. Every home is also fitted with EV car charging facilities.”

Samuel Dickey, director at selling agents Simon Brien Residential, said: “Whilst we have sold several homes off plan, we are looking forward to showcasing the beautifully furnished show home, allowing potential buyers to see first hand the spacious layouts, high quality specification and finish as well as the green technology.”
