All the master bedroom suites have an ensuite bathroom with
the largest four bedroom houses also benefitting from a walk-
in master dressing room. Selected bedrooms lead straight
out onto a terrace, the perfect spot for al fresco breakfasts or
enjoying a good book.
The flexible living spaces, wide staircases and large open rooms
mean that the houses at Cubis Bruton also provide accessible
and adaptable accommodation, low maintenance and easy
to manage, ideal for everyone from young families to older
people.
Green features are employed to ensure high-performing
thermo-efficient new housing. The scheme’s precise timber
frame construction is more energy efficient than traditional
brick and block work. Alongside this the triple glazed
windows, enhanced insulation and a mechanical ventilation
heat recovery system helps to make living as comfortable and
low-cost to maintain.
With electric car charging points fitted as standard, these
forward-looking houses are ‘future proofed’ as fully as
possible to allow for future developments in specification and
technology. The homes also benefit from smart meters, which
allows owners to digitally monitor their gas and electricity
usage, and LED lighting is used throughout to offer superior
and cleaner lighting.

Other features include balconies and terraces with composite
timber decking and glass balustrades and underfloor heating
throughout.
The development is complete with an ecology corridor to the
north and west boundaries of the development designed to
protect wildlife including birds, bats and hedgehogs. Bat and
bird boxes, hedgerows and planting have been used to deliver
additional biodiversity enhancement.

Robin Squire, Regional Managing Director of Acorn Bristol

Cubis Bruton are a must-see. Only after a tour of the beautifully
dressed Show Home do you really understand the flexible
living space provided by these outstanding houses. Intelligently
designed to be energy efficient and highly sustainable both
internally and externally, the homes offer a lifestyle and
modern specification that traditional built second-hand homes
in Bruton do not provide.”

marketing these homes says: “Prior to the official launch of
Cubis Bruton we already had around half a dozen off-plan sales
from purchasers who include first time buyers, downsizers and
