Four homes in Village Road, Norton, are the latest to be added to the Green Open Homes scheme – which means they will open their doors to showcase the latest green technology and residents will answer questions from visitors.
The homes were constructed by Apley Estate and were officially opened by Councillor Lezley Picton, the leader of Shropshire Council, who said she was ‘delighted’ to open the ‘absolutely brilliant’ homes in a ceremony.
Estate Director Graeme Manton said Apley was very pleased to be asked to get involved with Green Open Homes.
He said: “The homes were built to a very high environmental standard with low energy costs at the forefront of the design and architecture. The middle of Norton is a conservation area so we took great pains to ensure the houses fitted well in the location with carefully selected brick and tile finishes.
“We are incredibly proud of the way they work, putting the environment first but also a very comfortable home with all the mod-cons.
