In 2022, 76% of homeowners are predicted to make improvements to their current home, with a quarter planning to make even more renovations to their property than they did in 2021. However, homebuyers wanting to switch-up their home without the DIY commitments have been recently delighted by Inland Homes’ new Essex development, Templar Green. Offering a wide variety of new build houses in the quaint village of Cressing, the launch weekend was a fantastic success, fully booked with 10 reservations taken from the first release of homes, and a similar high interest expected to continue into the coming months.
Set on a quiet residential road just four miles south of the larger town of Braintree, Templar Green comprises a new collection of two, three and four bedroom homes in a range of layouts. The launch weekend and unveiling of the stunning new show homes – with interiors designed by Claude Hooper and Artspace – was a huge success with Essex residents, with over 60% of properties snapped up across the weekend alone, leaving just six homes in the current release available to purchase!
Vicki Noon, Sales and Marketing Director at Inland Homes, comments: “We’re thrilled that the new homes at Templar Green proved to be popular during the launch. The site and show homes are both looking fantastic, perfectly showcasing what life can be like with an Inland home. Across the weekend, we were fully-booked with appointments from interested customers, and took an incredible ten reservations in the two days alone! Not only are new build homes a hassle-free choice, but this is coupled with an amazing location for properties at Templar Green. Cressing offers a quiet village location that’s still within easy reach of the amenities in Braintree, perfect for living a rural yet convenient lifestyle.”
Homes at Templar Green have been designed with a countryside lifestyle in mind, surrounded by ample green space, play areas, a village green and an orchard.

The family bathroom is also on this floor, enjoying contemporary white suites and Quartz vanity units.

Each home at Templar Green also comes complete with either a garage, car port or dedicated parking spaces to ensure peace of mind for vehicle owners and visitors.
