"The home will also be an active part of the local community through Crystal Care Collection's Community Tree initiative, creating partnership opportunities with schools, businesses, and community groups to connect and collaborate."
The home, located on Anniversary Avenue East, has been designed with sustainability in mind.
Photovoltaic solar panels and advanced battery storage will help meet much of the building's energy needs, while ground source heat pump technology will further reduce emissions.
The building also uses sustainable construction materials chosen for their low environmental impact and high thermal efficiency.
Other eco-friendly features include energy-efficient LED lighting with motion sensors and integrated water-saving systems.
Otwell Grove aims to become a hub for community engagement, working with nearby schools, businesses, and organisations through its Community Tree initiative.
