NHBC prize for exceptional building standards at St John’s Gardens

St John’s Gardens, Sandbach Heath, is a new, award-winning development of 9 executive properties by Zenith House Developments, creating a small community of luxury family homes. Amongst this exclusive and secluded setting in the heart of Cheshire, yet close to local amenities and transport links, are a handful of generously sized 4 to 5 bedroom homes which have already been sold. The quality of materials, attention to detail and execution of craftsmanship on this development have been recognised by the National House Building Council (NHBC) as being of exceptional standard.

At the North West regional event for 2018, held in Manchester on Friday 12th October, the development was recognised for its outstanding performance and achievement as a Quality Award winner. Peter Miller, Site Manager at St Johns Gardens, was awarded with an NHBC ‘pride in the job’ award for his dedication to this development.

The team at Zenith House Developments ‘take great pride in offering the pinnacle of quality at realistic prices’. David Walls, Managing Director, commented: “We were delighted to acquire this truly special site which encompasses our ethos for the highest quality developments, made from durable and aesthetically pleasing materials. We regularly specify Michelmersh’s Carlton brick blends for our exclusive developments and with the Sandbach Heath site we chose the Carlton Oldstock Antique and Moorland Dragwire bricks to form the facades of these beautiful family homes.”

St John’s Gardens is in a great location for commuting, but it also provides an ideal environment for community links with many facilities on its door step. Sandbach is a charming old market town, filled with green spaces, shops and restaurants. With high levels of privacy and security, these eloquent new homes are built using traditional methods but also the most up-to-date technology, allowing high levels of energy efficiency and great acoustic screening.

Derrick Parker from Michelmersh explained: “We are proud that Zenith House Developments, a recognised developer, feels that Michelmersh plays a vital role in maintaining the company’s excellence through high quality products, helping to provide upmarket housing in desirable locations. We would like to think that through high standards of workmanship our products have contributed to the curb appeal of these desirable properties, and we would like to congratulate the developer for winning several deserved awards for St. John’s Gardens.”

Featuring high quality brick and stone detailing, every effort has been taken in the delivery of these luxury homes, with superb attention to detail. Zenith House Developments are a family builder that truly understand the needs of modern families and it is testament that they have been awarded the NHBC Regional Winner in the Small Builder Category of the Pride in the Job Awards. As the only UK-wide competition dedicated to recognising site managers who achieve the highest standards in house-building, it has been a great accolade for Zenith House Developments and associated companies such as Michelmersh, who have been instrumental in driving up the quality of new homes for the last 38 years.
