New build homeowners could save around £420 a year on energy bills compared with those living in older properties
SAVING YOU MONEY
According to the Home Builders Federation, on average, our new homes are 21% cheaper to run compared to older properties, saving you up to £420 a year on your energy bills. With energy prices high, there has never been a better time to buy new.
Potential savings increase even further when comparing the EPC ratings of new builds to the least efficient properties. All of our new-build homes achieve an A or B EPC rating, making the average new build 39% cheaper to run, at around £618 a year less than an older home with an F or G EPC rating.
GREEN MORTGAGES
By buying a new energy efficient Bovis Home you could take advantage of exclusive ‘Green’ mortgage products. A mortgage lender could offer lower interest rates on properties that carry an energy performance certificate or a predicted energy assessment rating of A – C. Think of it as a reward for buyers who are purchasing an energy efficient home. All our standard homes have a rating of A or B so this type of mortgage may be ideal if you are looking to purchase a new build home.
KEEPING YOU COSY
Unlike older properties, our homes come with high efficiency double glazing as standard, letting plenty of light and warmth in while minimising heat loss and reducing the amount of noise you’ll hear within your home. Not only do they keep you cosy they also reduce the amount of external noise that you’ll hear within your home.
Additional roof and floor insulation are among the other unseen features included with our homes that will help reduce the costs of keeping your home warm in the winter months, while also keeping you cool in the summer.
REDUCING WATER USAGE
Our kitchens and bathrooms incorporate water saving measures, without compromising on style or functionality.
These features mean our homes use up to 20% less water* than the UK average. Our taps and showers use aerated technology to provide the feeling of a strong flow, whilst using less water. Plus, our dual low flush toilets use the minimum amount of water to ensure less waste.
*Average Bovis home uses 100-110 litres/person/day compared to UK average of 140 litres/person/day according to the Energy Savings Trust

A Modern New Town on the Edge of a Historic Port City
Sherford is becoming one of the South West’s most exciting new communities: purpose built, beautifully designed, and perfectly positioned just 4 miles from the vibrant port city of Plymouth. Blending thoughtful planning with access to excellent amenities, Sherford offers the ideal balance between modern living and Devon’s natural beauty.
Set on Plymouth’s eastern fringe and bordering the South Hams, Sherford places you close to everything you need: new schools, green open spaces, local shops and services, with even more facilities planned as the town grows. Dartmoor National Park and the stunning South Hams coastline sit just moments away, giving residents endless opportunities for exploration and relaxation.
Life in Plymouth — Just Minutes From Sherford
Living in Sherford means you’re only a short journey from all that the city of Plymouth has to offer. As Britain’s Ocean City, Plymouth is packed with culture, maritime heritage, shops, and entertainment.
Drake Circus and the Barcode complex provide an excellent mix of high street and independent retail, restaurants, cafés and leisure activities. Down by the waterfront, Sutton Harbour and the historic Barbican are home to galleries, eateries, and waterside walks, while the Hoe offers unbeatable views.
Cultural highlights include the Theatre Royal, Plymouth Pavilions, The Box Museum, and the National Marine Aquarium. These attractions offer year round experiences for families and visitors of all ages.
Exploring the South Hams and Devon Coast
Sherford sits at the gateway to the South Hams: one of the UK’s most stunning landscapes. From rolling countryside to award-winning beaches, the area offers a slower pace of life with plenty of outdoor adventure. Dartmoor National Park is also easily accessible, providing endless trails, wildlife and panoramic scenery.
What’s Nearby?
Beyond Plymouth and the South Hams, Sherford is well placed for exploring Devon’s wider coastline and attractions. Popular seaside towns such as Paignton and Torquay are within comfortable reach, offering long beaches, family attractions, independent shops and a growing food scene. Whether you’re looking for waterfront walks, parks, or days out with the family, the English Riviera provides plenty of choice.
Schools and Education
Sherford has been designed with families in mind, with Sherford Vale Primary already established in the heart of the new town and future education facilities planned as the community grows.
Nearby Plymouth and Plymstock offer a strong selection of well rated schools. Just a few minutes’ walk away is Elburton Primary School (rated ‘Outstanding’). Other primary schools can be found close by; Dunstone Primary (‘Good’) is a mile away, Oreston Community Academy (‘Good’) is just over 2 miles away, while Prince Rock Primary (‘Outstanding’) and Lipson Vale Primary (‘Good’) are 3 and 5 miles away respectively.
With excellent choices close by, Sherford is an appealing location for families at every stage.
Transport and Connectivity
Sherford’s location offers excellent links for commuters and travellers. Just minutes from the A38/Devon Expressway, journeys to Exeter, Cornwall and beyond are simple and efficient.
Plymouth Railway Station provides regular services to London Paddington, Cornwall and the wider South West region, while Exeter Airport is approximately 45 miles away, offering an exciting variety of UK and European flights.
