Doors Open at Hayfield’s Debut Gloucestershire Development

Hayfield, the five-star, multi-award-winning premium housebuilder, has officially unveiled the show home at Hayfield Heights – its first development in Gloucestershire.

The £35m scheme is located in the picturesque village of Gotherington, just outside Cheltenham, and comprises a collection of premium, sustainable two-bedroom bungalows and four- and five-bedroom homes. The newly opened show home, known as The Gotherington, is a five-bedroom detached house designed to reflect Hayfield’s signature style and commitment to quality.

Each home at Hayfield Heights is EPC A-rated and zero-carbon ready, incorporating a range of energy-efficient technologies as standard. These include air source heat pumps, solar PV panels, underfloor heating, EV charging points, and enhanced insulation, supporting Hayfield’s ambition to build more sustainable, future-ready homes. According to EPC data, homeowners at Hayfield Heights could reduce their home's carbon footprint by over 92% compared to a typical detached home in the village.

In addition to its green credentials, Hayfield Heights is the company’s first development to feature the ‘Homes for Nature’ scheme, developed by The Future Homes Hub. This includes a variety of measures to support wildlife and enhance the local ecosystem, such as integrated bat boxes, bird bricks, hedgehog highways, and other ecological enhancements. The site is set to deliver a biodiversity net gain of over 26%, far exceeding national planning requirements of 10%.

A range of new house types have been specially developed for Hayfield Heights, including The Gotherington and The Woolstone, the latter taking the crown as the largest home in Hayfield’s portfolio, at over 3,500 sq ft. There are 10 house designs in total, from two-bedroom bungalows to five-bedroom executive houses with triple detached garages and a gym/studio space above.

Sarah Sargeant, Sales Director at Hayfield, commented: “We are proud to be launching Hayfield Heights – our debut scheme in Gloucestershire – with the opening of The Gotherington show home. This flagship development demonstrates how sustainability, design and lifestyle can be seamlessly combined. From energy-efficient features to the Homes for Nature initiative, it reflects our commitment to creating beautiful homes with long-term value, both for our customers and the environment.”

The show home has been styled by the talented, design-led practice, HAUS Interiors. The property features a light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and family area, a private study, a formal dining room, and five double bedrooms, making it ideal for modern family life.

Felicity Stevens, Creative Director at HAUS Interiors, said: “We wanted to create something special, a design with lots of depth and layers, to draw on British heritage and create a luxurious but very welcoming and warm show home. Each room is visually bold and unique, displaying a real sense of luxury, yet connected through tonal colours, texture, and refined styling.  This show home is the perfect example of embracing traditional flair with modern elegance.”

House-hunters and members of the public are invited to view the new show home at Hayfield Heights, located on Ashmead Drive, Gotherington, which is open daily from 10am to 5pm.
