The aim of the project is to show how such properties can be refurbished affordably and easily, not only to reduce carbon emissions but to provide healthier homes that are cheaper, comfortable and more efficient to run.

Both properties provide an essential demonstration and educational resource for home owners, housing providers, tradesmen, local suppliers and educational establishments.

The project  promotes the importance of sustainable refurbishment, and provides easy access to advice, products, technologies and information to those planning on making improvements to their own properties.

The properties are now open for viewing.  Visit the Book Your Visit page to find out more about opening dates and times.
